Gemini Air Cargo, Inc.

OST-00-7132 February 20, 2002 Application for Amendment of Statement of Authorization Codeshare with Qantas Airways- Los Angeles- Honolulu- Nadi- Sydney
    Service List  

Hereby applies for an amendment of the Statement of Authorization that the Department granted on April 6, 2000, for Gemini to operate code share service for Qantas Airways Limited. The present statement of authorization grants Gemini authority to code share with Qantas on the Los Angeles-Honolulu-Nadi-Sydney routing. This application seeks an amendment of the Statement of Authorization in order for Gemini to add New York, Toledo, and Pago Pago, American Samoa, to the previously approved routing, i.e, New York - Toledo - Los Angeles - Honolulu - Nadi/Pago Pago - Sydney. Gemini plans to operate either DC-10-30F or MD-11F aircraft on its expanded codeshare flights.

Gemini holds a certificate of public convenience and necessity to operate scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail to points in Australia and in Fiji. Order 99-12-7, issued October 13, 1999, effective January 12, 2000. 

The Department also approved an earlier codesharing arrangement between Gemini and Qantas on the LAX - HNL - NAN - SYD routing. Statement of Authorization No. 98-81 (August 31, 1998). Qantas holds an exemption that authorizes Qantas, inter alia, to operate scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of property and mail from points behind Australia, via Australia and intermediate points, to points in the United States and beyond. Notice of Action Taken; Docket OST-2000-7157; May 1, 2000.

In 1999 the United States and Australia agreed to amendments to the Air Transport Agreement between the United States and Australia ("the Agreement") that specifically authorize codesharing arrangements such as the one between Gemini and Qantas.  The amendment is not yet in effect, but the Memorandum of Consultations addresses the status of the amendment pending its formal approval.

Gemini requests a waiver of Part 212.10(d) that requires that applications for codeshare statements of authorization shall be filed 45 days before the date of the first flight. Gemini and Qantas have only recently finalized the terms of their commercial arrangement under which the codeshare arrangement will be broadened to include New York and Toledo. In view of desire of Gemini and Qantas to operate codeshare flights from New York and Toledo as soon as possible, Gemini will poll the parties on the service list and request immediate approval of this statement of authorization application.  Due to improving markets, Gemini and Qantas are expanding their codeshare arrangement to include New York and Toledo after a hiatus in codeshare operations prompted by a downturn in the business cycle.
