|
New York, LaGuardia- Columbus, Ohio (CMH) |
| Service List |
The Port Authority and Continental wrongly argue that the grant of America West's request would be inconsistent with the FAA imposed exemption slot cap and lottery to allocate these slots and therefore not in the public interest. America West's application is not inconsistent with the lottery, which was required because of excessive new service. America West is asking the Department to act to preserve service that has been in place for almost a decade and which has important competitive implications. Continental and the other incumbents as a result of Air 21 are all operating more service at LaGuardia than they operated before the law was passed. Unless the Department acts positively on this application, America West will be the only carrier forced to reduce service below its pre-Air 21 level. This certainly is not the result Congress intended when it enacted Air 21 to expand opportunities at LaGuardia for new entrants. Indeed it is exactly the opposite of what Congress intended. Clearly, in determining the public interest as required by 49 U.S.C. § 41714(c), the Department must balance the important competition issues raised by America West in its application with the minimal impact the service would have on congestion. On balance for the reasons discussed in the application and below, the public interests at stake manifestly support approval of the America West request.

Computer Reservations Systems (CRS) Regulations
| OST-01-9054 | March 8, 2001 - As Published in the Federal Register |  Extension
of CRS Regulations |
CRS Regulations |
The Department is proposing to revise its rules governing airline computer reservations systems (CRSs) by changing the rules' expiration date from March 31, 2001, to March 31, 2002. If the expiration date is not changed, the rules will terminate on March 31, 2001. The proposed extension of the current rules will keep them in effect while the Department carries out its reexamination of the need for CRS regulations. The Department has tentatively concluded that the current rules should be maintained because they appear to be necessary for promoting airline competition and helping to ensure that consumers and their travel agents can obtain complete and accurate information on airline services. The rules were previously extended from December 31, 1997, to March 31, 1999, then to March 31, 2000, and then to March 31, 2001.
Comments must be submitted on or before March 19, 2001. Late filed comments will be considered to the extent possible.

At the time that UPS filed its Petition for Review of Staff Action, initiating this proceeding, the public had not been notified of either DHL's application or the DOT's approval of this application.

Only recently has the Weekly Summary of Filings for the week ending October 20, 2000 been placed on the DMS. This Weekly Summary, posted onl February 24, 2001, contains notice of DHL's registration application which was filed on October 18, 2000, and requires that answers be filed ("objections" under 297.21) no later than November 15, 2000. Accordingly, the public was not provided with notice necessary to file objections to the application until just a over a week ago.
