This action reinstates the authority of Fine Air to serve between Peru and the United States and to implement service for which it has been designated under the bilateral Air Transport Agreements between Peru and the United States. Please note that this action has been taken by the Government of Peru although there is legal action involving Fine Air pending in Peru arising out of the circumstances on which the original suspension was based.

Response of United Air Lines and Motion for Leave to File

High Density Rule - Chicago O'Hare

No other foreign carriers have been as favorably treated as Canadian carriers for purposes of slot allocations at HDR airports. The O'Hare slots allocated to Canadian carriers under the bilateral are worth millions of dollars. They were given to these carriers absolutely free of charge and can be sold or leased by those carriers at their fair market value. CAI could also seek slots from its alliance partner at O'Hare, American Airlines, as Air Canada has from United 6 Indeed, according to the current schedules, CAI has apparently acquired O'Hare slots for the new services it proposes to Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Effective April 4, 1999, CAI is selling a daily nonstop roundtrip between Chicago and both Edmonton and Calgary.7 In addition, CAI is selling three daily nonstop roundtrips between Chicago and Vancouver' as well as a daily nonstop roundtrip in the Chicago-Toronto market.9 All of these flights are held out as operated by CAI, and their O'Hare arrivals and departures are scheduled within the slot-controlled hours for that airport.
