2007/2008 US-Colombia Combination Frequency Allocation Proceeding February 22, 2008 Motion of American Airlines to Update Response to Evidence Request Given the fact that it is now late February and a show-cause order has not yet been issued, American has reluctantly determined that it can no longer assume the risk of reallocation of its seven frequencies by continuing to operate those frequencies beyond April 7, 2008. Accordingly, as of that date, American is suspending operation the seven frequencies at issue, and will restore order in American's favor. After the suspension, American's service pattern between the U.S. and Colombia will be as follows:
If the Department's final order returns the seven contested frequencies to American, we will use them to restore our third daily flight between Miami and Bogota, subject to a standard 90-day start-up condition.

We have also decided to award AirTran two slot exemptions to serve either Jacksonville or Milwaukee with 117-seat Boeing 717 or 137-seat Boeing 737 aircraft. We conclude that these two proposals best meet the statutory criteria for the award of AIR-21 slot exemptions at DCA. In the event that either Spirit or AirTran fails to operate the slot exemptions awarded here, we select Midwest as the back-up carrier, utilizing Boeing 717 aircraft, to provide an additional nonstop to either Milwaukee or Kansas City.
