Re: Foreign Aircraft Permit | Foreign Aircraft Permit
On November 9, 1998, you issued the enclosed Foreign Aircraft Permit to Sabre Airways Limited ("Sabre"') to permit Sabre to conduct flight test operations in the United States on behalf of GEC Marconi Limited, with a United Kingdom-registered B 737-8Q8 aircraft, identification G-OKDN. The initial operation was for the period November 24, 1998-February 28, 1999 and the initial authority was for the period November 9, 1998-March 1, 1999. Sabre and GEC Marconi Limited have now extended these operations through approximately May l 0, 1999. Thus, Sabre respectfully requests that the enclosed Foreign Aircraft Permit be extended to May 31, 1999. Sabre states that the reasons which justified the issuance of the initial Foreign Aircraft Permit support the issuance of the requested extension of the authority.

Joint Motion of United Parcel Service and Polar Air Cargo
UPS and Polar jointly request the Department to allow UPS to use these two Narita slots for the period as agreed between UPS and Polar and to notify the Japanese government of this temporary arrangement. The services to be operated by UPS are fully consistent with the Department's decision in Order 98-8-12 to award the available Narita slots for U.S. carrier all-cargo services. A significant aspect of the 1998 accord is the provision for expansion of ail-cargo service in the U.S.-Japan market and in markets beyond Japan by the three all-cargo carriers authorized to serve the market-Federal Express, UPS, and Polar. Specifically, the accord expands the rights for Federal Express, the dominant cargo airline serving the market. It also provides for expansion of rights for the other cargo airlines, UPS and Polar, including the right for Polar to serve Tokyo and the right for both carriers to operate beyond Tokyo on a limited basis with local traffic rights. The additional available slots provide an important opportunity to realize substantial benefits from the valuable all-cargo rights under the accord as we already have from the combination rights. Tokyo has long been recognized as a key for competitive services in the U.S.-Japan and U.S.-Asia cargo markets. .. A critical objective in negotiating this aviation accord was the right for all of the authorized U.S. cargo airlines to serve Tokyo and beyond-Tokyo markets, thereby maximizing the range of competitive services available to the shipping public. achieved that objective in the MOU, we tentatively find that it is important to ensure that these benefits can be realized, and that this consideration is entitled to significant weight in the context of this case.
UPS has agreed to use the slots for a temporary period to extend from February 1, 1999 to March 26, 2000, and to then return them to Polar for Polar's own use. UPS will use the slots to support its Pacific services operated over Tokyo to its Asian hub in Taiwan.
Counsel: UPS and Kelley Drye, David Vaughan, 202-955-9600 / Polar, Kevin MOntgomery, 202-785-1995
