Re: Application for Statement of Authorization - Response of Canadian Airlines International

HTML

Canadian Airlines International, Ltd. (Canadian Airlines) hereby responds to the Application of Air Canada for Statement of Authorization to display the Lufthansa airline designator code on Air Canada-operated flights between points in Canada and points in the United States which was filed with the Department on March 6, 1998, with a request for approval within five days. Swift approval of the Air Canada application under these circumstances when the Canadian Airlines-Lan Chile application remains unresolved would be unfair and prejudicial to Canadian Airlines.

To elaborate: In the Air Canada - Lufthansa case, we note that those two carriers combined enjoy a 95% market share in the Canada - Germany market compared to Canadian Airlines, the other designated carrier in that market. To permit the Air Canada - Lufthansa codeshare would exacerbate the market dominance of United's partner unless Canadian Airlines receives assurances that it will be permitted to codeshare into points in Germany with its alliance partner(s) as well.
