Re: Application for Statement of Authorization

Pursuant to 14 CFR Part 212.4, Air Canada applies for a statement of authorization so that Air Canada may display the Lufthansa "LH" airline designator code on Air Canada flights operated between points in Canada and points in the United States.

At present, Lufthansa offers service from Germany to Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto. Under this arrangement, Lufthansa would hold out service to points in the United States beyond those Canadian cities by placing its LH designator code on transborder services currently operated by Air Canada, or on services which Air Canada may in the future introduce. Lufthansa would not be holding out Fifth Freedom services on the local U.S.-Canada segments.

Re: Statement of Authorization - DOT Letter

In determining the public interest, a primary factor that we consider is the extent of reciprocity on the part of the applicant's homeland. In taking our action, we find that reciprocity on the part of Germany supports the grant of this application, as we have no reason to believe that Germany would not grant comparable Fifth Freedom charter requests by U.S. carriers. We have given full consideration to Northwest's position in this case, but are not persuaded that it warrants withholding this authority. There is nothing in the record here that would indicate that LTU's proposed operations have been arranged as individually- ticketed scheduled services, or are otherwise not bona fide charter flights within the meaning of the Department's charter rules.
