February 11, 1999 | Consolidated Answer of Continental Airlines |
Chicago-Moscow US-Riga; Taillin; St. Petersburg via Helsinki Codeshare |
HTML |
Continental and Air France would introduce an entirely new network competing for traffic between the U.S. and Russia and advance the Department's goal of promoting meaningful new competition between the U.S. and Russia. Online service through Continental's hubs at Newark and Houston, on the one hand, and Russia, on the other hand, will result in more service options, new network competition throughout the United States, and strong competition with U.S. and foreign airlines and alliances offering U.S.-Russia service. Because of the public benefits from Continental's proposal, Continental should receive at least one of the newly available U.S.-Russia code-share opportunities, and American's application should be denied to the extent it could preclude the award of authority to Continental.

Chicago-Moscow US-Riga; Taillin; St. Petersburg via Helsinki Codeshare |
HTML |
| Attachment 1: Northwest's System Timetable |
American is seeking immediate authority to offer code-share services to Russia via Helsinki in lieu of the direct Chicago-Moscow service it has so often proposed but never operated. American would, therefore, require one of the three third-country code-share opportunities available immediately to U. S. carriers. United opposes the grant of American's request to the extent it would prejudice United's ability to exercise its existing third-country codeshare authority with Lufthansa. If the Department determines that carrier selection is necessary involving incumbent third-country code shares as well as those involving new arrangements, United's service with Lufthansa is far superior to that offered by American and Finnair. United and Lufthansa offer nonstop-to-nonstop connections at Frankfurt to Russia from eleven U.S. gateways, as opposed to the single U. S. gateway that would be served by American/Finnair. Moreover, United would operate nonstop connections in its own equipment between Frankfurt and its hubs at Chicago O'Hare and Washington Dulles, whereas all of the U. S.-Russia flying under the American/Finnair code share would be on services operated by Finnair. In addition, under the new U.S./Russia agreement, United and Lufthansa will expand their services to include other eligible gateways in Russia such as St. Petersburg and Nizhnyi Novgorod to the extent consistent with the new agreement.
