Re: Application to Renew Code-Sharing
Authority with Continental
Air Canada and Continental have been providing code-sharing services in the Canada-U.S. market since 1995, and the same public interest considerations which led the Department to approve the Air Canada-Continental code-share services in the first instance continue to be present here. Accordingly, Air Canada requests that the Department continue to authorize this code-share service until April 30, 1998 -- the date on which the code-sharing contract between Air Canada and Continental expires.

By letter dated June 18, 1997, El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. ("El Al") refiled a request for exemption authority to offer service between San Francisco and Tel Aviv via New York in conjunction with North American Airlines, Inc. ("NAA") which will operate the San Francisco-New York portion. NAA also refiled its application for a statement of authorization to wet lease an aircraft to El Al for this flight. United has already objected to DOT's approval of this flight, as well as others in this series, in a letter to you dated January 31, 1997. United's position on this flight as well as other flights by El Al between an extrabilateral U.S. point, such as San Francisco, and Tel Aviv continues to be as reflected in that letter. United would like to offer service in its own name on Lufthansa flights between Frankfurt and Tel Aviv, but the government of Israel refuses to allow this. United must issue tickets on those Frankfurt-Tel Aviv sectors as interline service on Lufthansa and reflecting Lufthansa's designator code. In these circumstances, there is no hardship or unfairness to El Al or its passengers in requiring it to offer services on a comparable interline basis with NAA on the San Francisco-New York sector of these flights.

Answer of Korean Air Lines
to United Air Lines
United requests the Department to disapprove the above referenced joint applications of KAL and Delta. United states this action is justified, including the termination of existing code-share operations in the Atlanta/Chicago-Seoul, Washington, D.C./New York-Seoul, and Los Angeles/Honolulu-Seoul markets, based on comments which United claims were made by representatives of the Government of Korea at the U.S.-Korea aviation negotiations recently held in Seoul, Korea. United states in its letter that the Korean Government has taken the position it will not accept the so-called "third country" codeshare provision of the "model" U.S. "open skies" agreement.
Termination of the existing code-share services of Korean Air and Delta, in the above-described markets, would adversely affect the traveling public, with particular disruption during this heavy travel season. Yet United asks the Department to take this severe step without any proof of actual harm to United. United's letter is silent as to any third-country code-share service which United intends to operate via Korea. Korean Air is not aware of any announcement of such service, nor of any application which has been filed by United and another carrier for code-share services via Korea.
Counsel: Zuckert Scoutt, James Devall, 202-298-8660
