Austrian Airlines and Swissair

January 13, 1999

Re: Joint Application for Renewal of Statement of Authorization to Code Share (Washington, DC Dulles - Zurich)

Renewal of this authority is in the public interest because it will allow consumers to continue to benefit from the only nonstop service to Zurich from the Washington, D.C. gateway. This code-share authority has allowed Austrian to operate Wiashington-Zurich service on an economically efficient basis. Continued approval will ensure that both Swissair and Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta") are able to maintain nonstop code-share service on this route.’ In addition, renewal will enable Austrian to continue to provide the traveling and shipping public with a convenient one-stop service option for travel between Washington, D.C. and Vienna, Austria.
