97-305 | May 15, 1997 | Approved in Part – Deferred in Part for May 16, 1997
Letter from Paul Gretch to
Counsel for Aeroflot
In this letter we grant in part, and defer in part, action on a request by Aeroflot Russian International Airlines, a foreign air carrier of the Russian Federation, for a statement of authorization under 14 CFR Part 212 of the Department's regulations to perform a series of Fifth Freedom charter flights between Shannon, Ireland, and Miami, Florida. Specifically, we grant Aeroflot's request through June 17, 1997, and defer action on the remainder of its request.
As we have previously stated, we are concerned by the difficulties encountered by United with the Russian Federation to renew its U.S.-Moscow code-share arrangement with Lufthansa, and have pressed the Russian Federation for a solution. However, we believe that further efforts between the governments will be required before a solution will be forthcoming, and that the optimum approach is to pursue that diplomatic course.Meanwhile, another third-country code sharing issue has arisen. Recently, the United States redesignated Delta Air Lines under our bilateral aviation agreement with the Russian Federation for code-share services on partners Austrian Airlines and Swissair between the United States and Moscow and St. Petersburg.
