Florida West International Airways, Inc. (Renewal of Certificate and Exemption Authority)
OST-97-2646 | June 23, 1997
Since the Department's confirming order was issued in February 1997, FWIA has made substantial and continuous progress. FWlA's financial condition has improved steadily in the past six months, generating profits in six of the past seven months. FWIA has expanded the scope of its operations, hired additional employees, is planning to increase the size of its fleet and has made arrangements to move its warehouse, sales and administrative facilities to a new cargo building adjacent to the ramp at Miami International Airport--all factors pointing to a healthy and growing carrier that provides its customers with valuable and much-needed service.

Application for Confidential Treatment
Pursuant to Rule 39 of the Department of Transportation's Rules of Practice, Florida West International Airways, Inc. ("FWIA") hereby submits this motion to withhold from public disclosure certain documents being submitted under seal herewith as part of FWIA's application for renewal of its current operating authority. FWIA believes that the documents submitted herewith are confidential and commercially sensitive, the public disclosure of which would cause substantial injury to FWIA and third parties. The confidential information consists of (i) an aircraft lease agreement between Tranship Investments Limited and FWIA; (ii) an aircraft sublease agreement between FWIA and Fast Air Carrier, S.A. ("Fast Air"); (iii) an airport facilities sublease between FWIA and Fast Air; (iv) interline cargo rate agreements between FWIA, Fast Air and LAN Chile; and (v) the portion of the auditor's notes accompanying FWIA's 1996 financial statements which discloses certain financial terms of the Tranship lease agreement

OST-97-2329 (50176), OST-95-474 | June 23, 1997
To support the attempted circumvention, the City contends that it actually raised its "presumption of validity" argument in its reply brief because the parties had addressed the Airlines' burden of proof in their opening briefs. See City's Sur-Reply Br. at 1-2. But the City's new "special deference" and "presumption of validity" arguments go far beyond the question of which party has the burden of proof; indeed, the Secretary rejected those arguments in the earlier proceeding while still holding that the Airlines bore the ultimate burden of proof. Accordingly, even if the City were entitled to raise these arguments on remand at all—which it is not—it should have raised them in its opening brief, not its reply, and it clearly is not entitled to address the issues belatedly in a sur-reply brief that is precluded by the Secretary's order. The City's motion for leave to file that brief should be denied.

Motion for Leave to File and Surreply
of Northwest Airlines
Although Delta may have extensive transatlantic services from New York (Delta Reply at 6), that fact is irrelevant. This proceeding is dealing with service to and from South Africa, not to Europe, and thus Delta's transatlantic services from New York are relevant only to the extent they connect with proposed code-share services by Swissair to South Africa. And, as has been emphasized already in this proceeding and conceded by Delta itself, Swissair has fewer connecting services on to Johannesburg (five per week) and Capetown (three per week) than does Northwest's partner KLM (daily to Johannesburg, five times weekly to Capetown).
NW SUR 1 – South African Traffic Distribution for NYC and MIA Gateways | NW SUR 2 – Northwest/KLM Alliance Carries More Passengers | NW SUR 3 – Northwest/KLM Have More Weekly Frequencies | NW SUR 4 – Northwest/KLM Have Shorter Elapsed Times | NW SUR 5 – Northwest/KLM Routings | NW SUR 6 – Northwest Serves Virtually All Major Southern Tier Markets
Counsel: Northwest, Megan Rae Poldy, 202-842-3193 and Covington Burling, James Atwood, 202-662-5298
