Notice
of Action Taken |
U.S.- Philippines Route 2 |
Allocation for two years of 1 weekly round-trip U.S.-Philippine Route 2 frequency to permit Northwest to provide all-cargo service in the U.S.-Manila market. Northwest states that it will use the frequency to reinstate its second weekly all-cargo flight in the market.

Pursuant to the standard dormancy conditions on that allocation, one of the frequencies became dormant and automatically reverted to the Department in the- summer of 2000.

| OST-00-7176 | February 23, 2001 | Reply of America West Airlines to Answers to
Application for Exemption |
New York LaGuardia (LGA)- Phoenix, Airzona (PHX) and Las Vegas, Nevada (LAS) |
| Service List |
America West's application gives the Department the opportunity to step up and take action that will have an immediate and direct pro-competitive impact on the market and benefit consumers traveling between LaGuardia and the West. To permit the fares for thousands of passengers who travel in these markets to be effectively controlled by a perimeter rule that has long outlived any possible benefit is contrary to the dictates of the Airline Deregulation Act and the stated policy of the Department to promote competition. For these reasons the Department should reject the objections and grant the requested slot exemptions.
