Third Party Complaint |
| Attachment: Letter Stating Department Finds DHL Remaining a U.S. Citizenship | |||
| Service List |
The irresponsible language of the Complaint foreshadows Federal Express' goal - to effectively preclude competition from Airways and its employees in the United States air express market. Indeed, the Complaint in this docket, the challenge to the foreign air freight forwarder registration of DHL Worldwide Express, Inc., and actions by Federal Express and United Parcel Service Co. attacking Airways in the media, have already adversely affected the competitive position of the carrier by confusing customers and business partners.

for Confidential Treatment |
Form 41; Schedule B-7 |
| Service List |
PrivatAir requests an exemption to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Switzerland 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. PrivatAir plans to commence ad hoc charter operations to several points in the U.S. in 2001 but mainly between Geneva, Switzerland on the one hand and Newark, New Jersey, and West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on the other hand. For its proposed services to the U.S., PrivatAir intends to use Boeing B737 and B757 aircraft in business jet configuration.
PrivatAir plans to commence services to the U.S. on or about March 1, 2001 providing charter passenger services between points in Switzerland and points in the United States.
PrivatAir has previously operated occasional planeload charters to the U.S. in accordance with the Department's regulations. In response to the tremendous demand for its services, PrivatAir is expanding its charter services to and from U.S. markets, especially the New York metropolitan area and Florida. PrivatAir's proposed flights to the U.S. would provide significant benefits to the U.S. markets it intends to serve.

Intent to Resume Commuter Air Service |
By: Delores King
| OST-01-8732 | Fenruary 5, 2001 | Answer of DHL Worldwide Express |
Registration of DHL Worldwide Express, Inc. as a Foreign Air Freight Forwarder Pursuant to 14 CFR 297 |
| Attachment: OAG Guide February 2001 | |||
| Service List |
UPS, by any measure a dominant competitor in the domestic small package delivery business, has belatedly sought leave to intervene in this proceeding, in an unfortunate -- but all too typical -- attempt to have the U.S. Government shield it from competition that would benefit cargo shippers. UPS's untimely and unauthorized petition 2 makes a single argument: the Department should bar DHLWE from competing in the U.S. freight forwarding market because a shareholder in DHLWE's ultimate parent company is partly owned by the Federal Republic of Germany and has been the subject of proceedings outside the United States totally unrelated to DHLWE's activities. The petition clearly fails both as a matter of law and as a matter of policy.

U.S.- Israel Third-Country Codeshare Opportunities (2001)
| OST-01-8726 | February 5, 2001 | Answer of American Airlines |
U.S.- Israel Third Country Codeshare |
| Exhibits 1-11: Northwest's Service; American Service Proposals | |||
| Service List |
As a consequence of the unbearably long ground times in Amsterdam that Northwest and KLM would impose on their east-bound passengers, American will provide shorter total elapsed times in six of the nine gateway markets that the American and Northwest proposals have in common (Exhibit 3). In fact, on a roundtrip basis, American beats Northwest by more than 14 hours at Atlanta, 12 hours at Boston, 11 hours at Chicago, nine hours at Miami, six hours at Washington, and three hours at New York.
At the three common cities where Northwest would beat American (Los Angeles, Newark, and San Francisco), Northwest's advantage would be far smaller, ranging from less than two hours to just over five hours (Exhibit 3). But at those three cities, neither American nor Northwest would provide effective roundtrip connecting service in any event, since ground times in one or both directions would exceed six hours, as shown in Exhibit 5.
It should also be noted that at Dallas/Ft. Worth, served by American/Swissair to Zurich, but not by Northwest/KLM to Amsterdam, American will provide effective daily connections to Israel in both directions (Exhibit 5). Yet at the U.S. gateways served by Northwest/KLM but not by American/Swissair (Detroit, Houston, Memphis, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Seattle), Northwest would not provide any effective daily roundtrip connections (Exhibit 5).
