OST-97-2986 | Undocketed | January 9, 1998

Petition for Review of Staff Action

HTML

By Order 97-12-33, the Department, by staff action, granted the request of Tower Air to delay its start-up date to serve the New York-Kiev market until April 15, 1998, subject to a condition that requires it to file monthly reports on the status of its plans to inaugurate service. Because there are no additional U.S. designations available under the U.S.-Ukraine bilateral agreement and no currently available authority from France to provide the code share service over the proposed connecting point, Paris, the Department also dismissed the application of TWA for an exemption to serve Ukraine via a code share with Ukraine International and the joint application of the carriers for statements of authorization to provide code share service. The Department did not dismiss the related application of Ukraine International in Docket 97-2987 for an exemption to serve the United States by code share with TWA.

TWA and Ukraine International hereby petition for review of Order 97-12-33 insofar as it dismissed the TWA exemption application and the joint application for code share authority. The applicants do not request review of that portion of the order that relates to Tower Air. The proper course of action would have been to defer, rather than dismiss, the TWA and Ukraine International applications.
