U.S.-Thailand (All-Cargo) |
By Order 96-9-16 the Department issued Polar Air Cargo a certificate of public convenience and necessity to provide scheduled all-cargo service between a point or points in the United States and a point or points in Thailand (Route 705), and allocated it two weekly all-cargo frequencies for this service. That award was subject to the condition that Polar must begin service with the frequencies by April 1, 1997. Once service was implemented, the frequencies were subject to a 90-day dormancy condition whereby the frequencies would expire and revert automatically to the Department if they were not used for a period of 90 days. Since then, the Department has granted extensions of the startup date for Polar's second frequency through December 31, 1999. (See Orders 97-5-6 and 98-1-6 and Notices of Action Taken dated June 15 and November 13, 1998, and November 10, 1999.) Polar's first frequency automatically reverted to the Department after not being used for a period of 90 days. Polar states that because economic conditions have continued to impede Polar's ability to restart its Thailand service, it seeks a further extension of the startup date for its one frequency to September 30, 2000. Polar indicated that it will resume service to Thailand as soon as market conditions warrant.
By Order 96-9-16 the Department allocated U.S.-Thailand all-cargo frequencies to the following U.S. carriers: United Parcel Service - 6. Air Micronesia - 5, Polar Air Cargo - 2 (one of which has reverted to the Department), Northwest - 3 (in addition to 2 previously awarded), and Federal Express - 5 (in addition to 1 previously awarded). Under the terms of the Department's order, the frequency allocations would expire automatically on April 1, 1997, and revert to the Department for Polar's extension of the startup deadline is effective until September 30, 2000, or until the date on which Polar begins service with its frequency, whichever occurs earlier. If Polar does not begin service by September 30, 2000, its frequency allocation expires automatically. The 90-day dormancy condition with respect to this frequency will begin on the date Polar inaugurates service.

Although United and Mexicana are not presently code sharing on the, route, they plan to implement code-share service no later than June 2000.
