Re: Request of Northwest for Code-Share Designations (Houston-Chihuahua/Saltillo/Torreon)

Service List

Northwest Airlines, Inc. ('`Northwest") asks the Department to designate it for Houston-Chihuahua, Houston-Saltillo and Houston-Torreon scheduled combination service so it can code-share on flights operated by Continental Express, Inc. Northwest intends to code-share on Continental Express's daily roundtrip Houston-Chihuahua service beginning on June 10, 1999, daily roundtrip Houston-Saltillo service beginning on August 1, 1999 and daily Houston-Torreon service beginning on November 22, 1999, using 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft. Northwest requires designations promptly so it can secure authority in Mexico and make arrangements to promote and market service between points served by Northwest and these Mexican points through on-line code-share connections at Houston.
