OST-99-5140	February 23, 1999	Joint Application for Approval of Route Transfer Authority	Route Transfer Authority	HTML
		Tab A:  Arrow's International Route Authority
		Tab B:  Fine's International Route Authority
		Service List

The only restricted-entry markets where Fine Air and Arrow both hold DOT authority are Colombia and Ecuador. However, as in the case of Peru, Fine Air does not hold authority from the Colombian authorities due to the bilateral situation and does not operate there. Arrow does operate scheduled all-cargo service to Colombia in competition with Federal Express, Challenge, Atlas and AIA plus TAMPA, as well as the substantial belly capacity offered by the U.S. and foreign combination carriers.  The only restricted-entry market route held by Arrow alone is the Buenos Aires, Argentina - Miami, Florida route and companion weekly frequency allocations However, it is the Joint Applicant's understanding that the Government of Argentina has effectively agreed to deregulate all cargo services subject to reciprocity with individual foreign governments. It is Joint Applicant's further understanding that, as regards the U.S., the cargo open-entry issue remains pending due to the continuation of U.S. - Argentina negotiations aimed at an overall "open skies" agreement

Reno Air, Inc. / America West Airlines, Inc.

Order 99-2-26 OST-97-2771 OST-99-5030

Issued and Served February 23, 1999

Order on Motion to Reopen the Record

High Density Rule - Chicago O'Hare

HTML

By this Order, we are denying the motion of United Air Lines to reopen the record in Docket OST-97-2771 and reallocate to another qualified airline the slot exemptions now held by Reno Air.  We dismiss the America West Airlines' application for slot exemptions in the Reno-Chicago-O'Hare market. Whether the Department exercises its discretion to rescind an award of slot exemptions depends on public interest considerations. Our public interest assessment of this case weighs in favor of allowing Reno Air to continue these operations. Among other things, the record indicates that withdrawal of these services by the Department would have a severe and adverse impact on the economy of Reno/Tahoe and the State of Nevada.

1999 U.S.-Italy Combination Service Case

Order 99-2-27 OST-98-4854	Issued and Served February 23, 1999	Order to Show Cause Scanned Version	US-Italy Combination Service Case	HTML
		Appendix A:  Summary of US-Italy Proposals

By this Order, we tentatively select Delta Air Lines to operate seven weekly frequencies in the Atlanta-Rome market beginning April 1, 1999, and tentatively select US Airways for backup authority.  Against this background, the record supports a tentative finding that we can derive major public benefits from an award in this case by providing for new gateway services to Italy. This consideration strongly supports Delta's Atlanta-Rome application because only Delta would open a new gateway to Italy, and only Delta would permit the Southern region of the country to enjoy the benefits of U.S.-carrier gateway services. Delta would also provide the most significant behind gateway service benefits and enhance competition in the U.S.-Italy market. In these circumstances, we have tentatively determined that Delta's proposal offers the best use of the route authority at issue. While American and US Airways have submitted attractive proposals, their proposals do not match the public benefits that would be available under Delta's
