Re: Amendment of Statement of
Authorization, Codesharing with American Airlines
On August 5, 1997, CAL and American agreed to an amendment of the September 1, 1994, agreement whereby American would block space on CAL flights operated in the following additional city-pair markets: (1) Taipei-Jakarta; (2) Taipei-Kuala Lumpur; (3) Taipei-Singapore; (4) Taipei-Ho Chi Minh City; and (5) Miami-Taipei." CAL therefore requests that its current Statement of Authorization (95-612) be appropriately amended and that it be reissued for a period of not less than two years from the date of the Department's action on this application.

Re: Joint Application for Renewal of
Statements of Authorization, US-Australia
Codesharing/Blocked-Space Agreement
Renewal of two Statements of Authorization authorizing Federal Express to operate wet-lease (i.e., blocked-space) all-cargo flights for Qantas, and authorizing Qantas to operate wet-lease (i.e., blocked-space) all-cargo flights for Federal Express, and authorizing both Federal Express and Qantas to hold out and sell air cargo services under each carrier's own two-letter designator code, on scheduled combination and all-cargo services operated by both Federal Express and Qantas between Sydney, Australia, on the one hand, and Honolulu, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, in the United States, on the other hand.
Qantas currently performs scheduled B-747 roundtrip combination flights over Los Angeles-Honolulu-Sydney and Los Angeles-Sydney routings. In addition, Qantas has entered into a separate wet-lease agreement with Southern Air Transport (SAT) under which SAT will operate two weekly DC-8-63 all-cargo flights between Sydney and Los Angeles for Qantas.2 Qantas and Federal Express have agreed that Federal Express will purchase a stated amount of cargo space on the foregoing flights, to be marketed and sold by Federal Express under its own two-letter designator.
Federal Express currently performs two weekly scheduled MD-11 freighter flights a week over a New York-Chicago-Los Angeles-Honolulu-Nadi-Sydney routing. Qantas and Federal Express have agreed that Qantas will purchase a stated amount of cargo capacity on one of the foregoing flights, to be marketed and sold by Qantas under its own two-letter designator .

Re: Statements of Authorization to
conduct code-share operations and to wet lease aircraft
Each applicant requests authority to conduct code-share operations on behalf of any or all of the other Applicant airlines on routes for which the operator and code-share partner(s) hold Department authority to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail. The joint applicants also request blanket authority to wet lease aircraft to one another. Aviateca, NICA and TACA de Honduras will not wet lease aircraft to any of the other Joint Applicants for use in US service until such time as the homeland of Aviateca, NICA and TACA de Honduras is advanced to Category I inder FAA's International Aviation Assessment program.

Re: Wet-Lease Application - Objection of
Fine Air Services
As the Department is aware, this is the second application filed in the last six weeks by an air carrier seeking to conduct wet lease flights for Export Air. On June 24, TAESA, a Mexican carrier, sought authority to conduct such flights. Fine air noted that there was a serious question regarding whether Export Air possessed valid homeland authority. The Department has ample reason, as a result of the now seemingly indefinite ban on Fine Air's services, to inform Peru that "business as usual" will not be possible until Fine Air's operating authority is fully restored.
