Condor Flugdienst GmbH

2003-109 | March 4, 2003 | Approved March 28, 2003

Application for Statement of Authorization

Hereby applies for a Statement of Authorization so that Condor may wet-lease two of its B-767-300 aircraft to Lufthansa German Airlines for a 19-month period commencing on March 30, 2003. Lufthansa will use these aircraft to provide scheduled air service between Frankfurt and Philadelphia, and between Frankfurt and Atlanta.

Condor, a German carrier, has entered into an arrangement with Deutsche Lufthansa AG whereby Condor will wet-lease two of its B-767-300 aircraft to Lufthansa for a 19-month period commencing on March 30, 2003. These aircraft bear registrations D-ABUW and D-ABUV.

Lufthansa is presently serving these markets with its own aircraft. These flights also carry the United Airlines "UA" airline designator code pursuant to the statement of authorization for the codeshare agreement between United and Lufthansa as approved in Order 98-4-8. To the extent necessary, Condor requests any authority that may be required to ensure the continuation of this arrangement.

ExpressJet Airlines Inc.

April 2, 2003

Request for Designation

ExpressJet plans to initiate seasonal Houston-Manzanillo flights in December using Embraer regional jet aircraft. No other U.S. carrier is currently providing scheduled combination service between Houston and Manzanillo. Thus, designating ExpressJet will not preclude any other carrier from offering Houston-Manzanillo service since another designation will remain available. ExpressJet will offer the only nonstop flights between Houston and Manzanillo, and designating ExpressJet will provide travelers and shippers with new U.S.-Mexico service options and expand competition among the U.S. and foreign carriers serving Mexico.
