This rule codified and augments the Department of Transportation's disclosure rules and policies concerning change of gauge services, i.e., services with one flight number that require a change of aircraft--in order to ensure that prospective airline consumers are given pertinent information on the nature of these services. The rule applies to U.S. air carriers, foreign air carriers, and, where appropriate, ticket agents (including travel agents) doing business in the United States. It included the following requirements:
- that transporting carriers include notice of required aircraft changes in their written and electronic schedule information provided to the public, to the official airline guide (OAG) and comparable publications, and to computer reservations systems,
- that consumers be given reasonable and timley oral notice that a service with a single flight number that they are considering booking entails a change of aircraft en route and
- that written notice of thee aircraft change be provided along with any ticket.

Consumer Notification Rules and Policies | HTML |
This rule strenthens the Department's current consumer notification rules and policies to ensure that consumers have pertinent information about airline code-sharing arrangements and long-term wet leases in domestic and international air transportation. The rule, among other things,
- requires travel agents doing business in the United States, foreign air carriers, and U.S. air carriers (a) to give consumers reasonable and timely notice if air transportation they are consideraing purchasing will be provided by an airline different from the airline holding out the transportation, and (b) to disclose the identity of the airline that will actually operate the aircraft; and
- for tickets issued in the United States, requires U.S. and foreign air carriers and travel agents to provided
written notice of the transporting carrier's identity at the time of purchase of air transportation involving a
code-sharing or long-term wet lease arrangement.

| OST-97-2091 | March 9, 1999 | Application for Renewal of
Exemption |
U.S. - Mexico |
| Service List |
Guja's renewal application is limited in scope and is non-controversial. Transportation services proposed by Guja are substantially identical to those it performed between Mexico and the United States during the past year, i.e., highly personalized transport services to executives and their invitees using small, business-type aircraft.

Novair's existing exemption to serve the United States expires on March 31, 1999. Novair requests renewal of its U.S. exemption authority in order to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Sweden, Denmark or Norway, on the one hand, and any point or points in the United States, on the other hand, either directly or via intermediate points in other countries, with or without stopovers, and beyond and any other charters pursuant to Part 212 of the Department's regulations, as necessary. Novair seeks renewal of its current exemption for a two-year period, until March 31, 2001. The Department has previously determined that Novair's Scandinavia-U.S. charter services are in the public interest.
