| OST-00-8554 | January 11, 2001 | Petition of Air Canada Regional |
Statement of Authorization Exemption; U.S.- Canada |
| Service List |
On December 29, 2000, the Department issued an exemption which authorized Air Canada Regional to provide scheduled air service in the U.S.-Canada market. The Department also issued a Statement of Authorization which permits Air Canada Regional, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Canada, to display the Air Canada "AC" airline designator code on its transborder flights. The authority was conditioned upon Air Canada Regional's providing the Department with 30 days' prior notice of code-share arrangements in any new city-pairs, and giving the Department 10 days' notice if it terminates any or all of its code-share services with Air Canada. For the reasons set forth below, Air Canada Regional hereby petitions the Department either to promptly waive the aforementioned condition, or to amend the Statement of Authorization issued on December 29h to remove the applicable reporting conditions.
The notice requirement recently imposed upon Air Canada is unnecessary and unworkable. U.S. carriers which serve the transborder market in conjunction with their regional affiliates are not subject to any regulatory approvals for their code-sharing arrangements, let alone a reporting requirement such as the one recently imposed upon Air Canada Regional. For example, American Eagle, a wholly owned subsidiary of American which operates in the Canada-U.S. market using the "AX airline designator code, would not be obliged to notify the Department if it were to introduce scheduled service between Washington and Toronto (in fact, American Eagle has just done so). Indeed, U.S. carriers need no prior authorization whatsoever in order to code-share with each other, either domestically or in transborder markets.
Air Canada Regional questions the fairness of being subject to this notice requirement while its U.S. competitors are wholly exempt from such requirements. From a practical standpoint, an American/American Eagle transborder code-share is a "franchise" arrangement that is no different than a code-share arrangement between Air Canada and Air Canada Regional. Yet, solely because of its status as a foreign airline, Air Canada Regional will be forced to file notices each time it chooses to enter or exit a new transborder market.
The notice requirement also is unworkable. Commuter services such as those operated by Air Canada Regional are often introduced on very short (i.e., less than 30 days') notice, and withdrawn equally as quickly. Simply put, this requirement will impede Air Canada Regional's ability to introduce new services and/or adjust its schedules as quickly as the market might demand. Given the impediments imposed by this requirement, Air Canada Regional would urge the Department to rule quickly upon this Petition.

Los Angeles, Ca.- Monterrey, Mexico |
Exemption to permit the applicant to continue to conduct scheduled, combination service between Monterrey, Mexico, and Los Angeles, California.

| OST-00-8555 | January 11, 2001 | Answer of Northwest Airlines |
U.S.- Morocco/Malta |
| Service List |
Northwest Airlines, Inc. opposes the motion of Sun Country Airlines, Inc. for leave to file an opposition to Northwest's application for authority between the U.S. and both Malta and Morocco for codesharing with Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane-S.p.A. via points in Italy. Sun Country has failed to state any valid grounds for acceptance of a late-filed "opposition" in the nature of an enforcement complaint.
Since Sun Country's "opposition" is virtually identical to similar "oppositions" submitted with motions for leave to file in three other proceedings, Sun Country's pleading is simply repetitive of other pleadings and submitted for the sole purpose of delaying action on Northwest's unopposed application in violation of the Department's Rules of Conduct.
