AirTran Airways, Inc.

OST-2003-15968 - Exemption - Reassignment of DCA Slots

February 20, 2008

Supplement No. 1

In its October 26 Application, AirTran stated that use of the two slots in the 1300 and 1400 slot times would allow AirTran to offer a greater variety of flights between DCA and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The exemption would allow AirTran to fly six daily roundtrip flights between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta spread out throughout the day. Changing the flight times would allow AirTran to meet the travel demands of business and leisure travelers for afternoon flights and to compete against the dominant ATL carrier, Delta Airlines, which has sixteen daily DCA-ATL roundtrips including several during the afternoon hours. (U.S. Airways also operates three daily DCA-ATL roundtrips.)

In addition to providing low fare options in the heavily traveled DCA-ATL market, a new AirTran afternoon flight (made possible with the 1300 and 1400 ATA slots) would provide DCA passengers with improved connecting opportunities to AirTran's expanding network through its Atlanta hub.

The Department has required that applicants for slot reassignment demonstrate that they hold only a limited number of slots at DCA: "our authority to grant exemptions for slot slides at Reagan National is applicable only in limited circumstances to meet the specific needs of carriers holding a limited number of slots at that airport. With these two ATA slots, AirTran will hold and operate an extremely limited number of DCA slots (only 12 between the hours of 0700 and 2159), well within the number of slots the Department has previously determined to constitute a limited number, and satisfies the requirement that an applicant for reassignment hold only a limited number of DCA slots.

Essential Air Service at Athens, Georgia

OST-2002-11348

February 12, 2008

Re: Athens Airport Authority Comments Regarding Air Midwest

Athens Airport's goal is to provide the best air service possible under the EAS and to be able to eliminate subsidies in the future. It is impossible to meet this goal when the airline consistently provides late and cancelled flights. Air Midwest is not meeting the intent of the EAS order to provide 13 flights per week in Athens. The airline must exhibit concern and initiative on their part to in order to provide the service in which they have been contracted. Anything that the EAS could do to encourage or compel Air Midwest to provide the contracted service would be appreciated.
