U.S.- France Third-Country Codeshare |
| Service List |
Under the U.S.-France Air Transport Agreement, three U.S. carriers may be designated for third-country codesharing, and two of those three carriers may each codeshare with two different foreign partners. Northwest (with KLM) and United (with Lufthansa) already hold designations, and Northwest is seeking to add Alitalia as its second foreign partner. American is seeking the third designation, with British Airways and Sabena as its two foreign partners. Apart from Northwest's pleading on December 30, 1999, there were no answers to American's initial application or to Amendment No. 1. Nor were there any answers to Northwest's application to add Alitalia.
In these circumstances, the matter is quite simple. The Department should promptly grant the requests of both American and Northwest, and should do so simultaneously. There is surely no reason for Northwest's application to be approved ahead of American's. Indeed, if anything, American's request should be approved first. Northwest already operates third-country codesharing between the U.S. and France with KLM via Amsterdam, while American is seeking its first opportunity to conduct U.S.-France third-country codesharing services. Moreover, the underlying American/Sabena codeshare arrangement has already been approved (Notice of Action Taken, OST-99-5944, November 2, 1999), while the Northwest/Alitalia codeshare proposal is merely pending (OST-99-6501). American is positioned to bring expanded competitive options to the U.S.-France market immediately; Northwest is not.

Chicago Midway- LaGuardia |
| Service List |
American Trans Air, Inc. respectfully requests that the Department of Transportation grant ATA an exemption from the FAA's High Density Rule for four additional LaGuardia Airport slots to permit ATA to increase its current restricted level of Chicago Midway-LaGuardia service by two additional roundtrip flights. ATA's current three daily roundtrip Chicago Midway-LaGuardia service, first inaugurated in July 1998, has been a resounding success from the first day. It is now, however, suffering from substantial pent up demand stimulated by ATA's extremely low fares, ATA's quiet B-757 aircraft and the convenience of ATA's Chicago Midway hub from which ATA and its commuter affiliate. Chicago Express, serve 23 cities. Demands of the traveling public clearly warrant award of an additional four slots to ATA.

Chattanooga- O'Hare |
We will reallocate five of the 16 O'Hare slot exemptions previously granted to.Trans States to American Eagle for service at Chattanooga, six to Air Wisconsin for service at Tri-Cities, and five to ACA for service at Roanoke. By reallocating the slot exemptions in this fashion, we are enabling the replacement carriers to maintain the same frequencies and comparable departure and arrival times that are currently operated by Trans States with little or no hiatus in service.
We affirm the findings we made in Order 98-4-21 that important transportation benefits would be realized by the grant of slot exemptions for direct service between O'Hare and the three designated communities. Trans States' planned cessation of service in the subject markets does not reflect a lack of traffic response. Rather, it is prompted by the decision reached mutually between Trans States and United to discontinue their codesharing relationship, which will necessitate a redeployment of Trans States' aircraft fleet. The proposed replacement operations by ACA at Roanoke, Air Wisconsin at TriCities, and American Eagle at Chattanooga are enthusiastically endorsed by all of the civic parties, and we are satisfied that those carriers' proposals are operationally and financially viable. In addition, we note that no answers were filed in opposition to the proposed reallocation of the exemptions.

Notice of Action Taken |
Colombia-Valencia-Miami All-Cargo |
The applicant informed us that none of the parties served with its application objected to the merits of the application, insofar as concerns an initial two-week award of authority. On December 21, 1999, we granted the requested authority through January 4, 2000, or until the reopening to commercial air cargo traffic of the Caracas airport, whichever occured first, and deferred action on the remainder. We found that it was consistent with the public interest to grant this authority in light of the special exigent circumstances presented. Specifically, due to severe flooding in Venezuela, leading to the closing of the Caracas airport to commercial air cargo traffic, TAMPA was unable to operate its regularly scheduled Miami-Miami service via Caracas. On January 4, 2000, TAMPA informed us that no party objected to extending this authority through January 31, 2000.

Violations of 49 U.S.C. 41705 and 14 CFR Part 382 |
In January 1999, the Department's Aviation Consumer Protection Division (ACPD) received a complaint from a disabled individual who uses a wheelchair. He stated that on a recent trip to IAD and on other occasions there the security personnel insisted that he proceed to a private room for his security screening even though he requested a public screening. In addition, he was told by the security personnel that his young son who was with him could not accompany him to the private screening room. Subsequent to that complaint, ACPD received a complaint from another individual that private screenings were being required of disabled passengers. The security personnel at IAD work for Argenbright Security, Inc., which is under contract to United to provide required screening at the airport for all carriers there. Pursuant to 14 CFR 382.9, United is responsible for Argenbright staffs regulatory compliance with Part 382 at IAD.
