Condor Flugdienst GmbH and Mexicana (Frankfurt-Tampa-Acapulco/Puerto Vallarta)

While Condor regrets any difficulty American may be having implementing its Mexican code-share services, it is unlikely that denial of Condor's extremely limited application would further American's objectives.

The Department recently acted to renew and approve third-country code-share agreements involving both Aeromexico (with Swissair) and Mexicana (with Aeroperu). Earlier this month, Mexicana received approval to place its designator code on Aeroperu flights operating between Los Angeles and Mexico City. Condor's request to place the MX code on its twice weekly Tampa-Mexico service is far more limited than the approval of third-country code-sharing in the competitive Los Angeles-Mexico City market. As the Department noted in its March 2, 1998, approval of the Mexicana/Aeroperu code-share, U.S.-Mexican aviation relations are "generally positive." As such, Condor should be treated no differently than Aeroperu and Swissair and receive the requested authority.

As the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority noted in its March 17, 1998, answer, Tampa currently receives no scheduled nonstop service to any point in Mexico. Given the absence of code-share provisions in the U.S.-Mexico bilateral agreement, the Department historically has used a public interest test to determine whether to authorize code-share requests. In this case, the introduction of Tampa's first nonstop services to Mexico clearly would further the public interest.
