May 1, 2008 Re: Two-Hundred-Twenty-Fourth Escrow Deposit Report This is the TWO-HUNDRED-TWENTY-FOURTH Escrow Deposit Report for the week ended April 27, 2008. Aerolineas made a deposit into the escrow of U.S. $17,061.03, for a total escrow amount of U.S. $6,046,708.18. Counsel: Rosen Weinhaus, John Romans, 212-530-4827, JRomans@lrjwlaw.com OST-2008-0085 - Exemption - Mexico-US Charters Filed March 3, 2008 | Issued May 1, 2008 Exemption under 49 USC §40109 to permit the applicant to conduct passenger and/or cargo charter operations between Mexico and the United States, using small equipment. We have decided, on our own initiative and in the interest of administrative efficiency, to grant the applicant’s exemption authority for a two-year term. The applicant states that it is wholly owned by citizens of Mexico. The applicant further states that its Director and all of its key management personnel are citizens of Mexico. By: Paul Gretch Aerotransporte de Cargo Union, S.A. de C.V. OST-2000-8438 - Exemption - Mexico-US All-Cargo Charters April 30, 2008 Application for Renewal of Exemption Authority AeroUnion hereby applies for renewal of its exemption authority from 49 U.S.C. §41301 to engage in all-cargo charter operations between a point or points in Mexico, on the one hand, and a point or points in the United States, on the other hand. By a Notice of Action Taken dated May 29, 2007, AeroUnion was granted renewal of its all-cargo charter exemption authority for a period of one year, and will, therefore, expire by its own terms on May 29, 2008. AeroUnion requests that its authority to conduct all-cargo charter service be extended by a year. Counsel: Pierre Murphy, 202-776-3980, pmurphy@lopmurphy.com Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc. OST-2002-12555 - Designation of Agent for Service April 30, 2008 Counsel: Hogan & Hartson, Robert Cohn, 202-637-4999, recohn@hhlaw.com Essential Air Service at Columbia, Missouri April 30, 2008 Re: DOT Letter to Senator Christopher Bond As you know, in making EAS carrier-selection decisions, we are required by statute to carefully consider various factors, including the views of the affected community. The Columbia City Manager submitted the community's comments by letter dated April 22. After considering the community's views, together with all other relevant material, the Department will issue a final decision. As this is a competitive case currently pending before the Department, it would be inappropriate for me to discuss the relative merits of any particular proposal. However, we will notify your office as soon as we issue a carrier-selection decision. By: Dennis DeVany OST-2006-25993 - Certificate and Exemption - San Jose/Sacramento-San Jose del Cabo May 1, 2008 Frontier Airlines, Inc. holds exemption authority in the above-referenced Dockets to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between (i) Sacramento, CA-San Jose del Cabo, Mexico; (ii) San Jose, CA-San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. Frontier hereby notifies the Department that Frontier's service between both markets has been discontinued and may be considered dormant effective immediately. Counsel: Wiley Rein, Edward Faberman, 202-719-7402, efaberman@wileyrein.com
Reports by Carriers on Incidents Involving Animals During Air Transport April 29, 2008 Re: Comments of Action Pet Express I strongly feel that the Incident reports regarding animals be retained. These serve a VERY real and important function. If possible, I feel foreign carriers should also be required to report. Every day, we receive inquires from pet owners about the 'horror stories' they hear regarding pet travel by air. These reports go a long way towards dispelling these rumors. By: Gerald Mishler April 23, 2008 Re: Objections of the American Society of Travel Agents - Bookmarked ASTA submits that the prudent approach is to defer any consideration of immunity in this proceeding pending the results of the joint U.S.-EC study of competitive conditions in transatlantic markets and the outcome of proposed Delta/Northwest merger, both of which will permit the Department to proceed on a reasoned basis instead of an unsupported assumption that is little more than a guess. At a minimum, the Department should not extend the grant of immunity to “programs designed to coordinate and reach agreements in the areas of … travel agent programs” and “travel agent …compensation” or to the collective “presentation and sale of the alliance members’ own airline services in the CRSs,” as it now proposes to do. Such an extension is not justified by any evidence in the record of this proceeding, by the applicable statutes, or by the Department’s prior immunity decisions. Counsel: ASTA, Paul Ruden US Airways, Inc. and Air China Limited OST-2008-0139 - Statements of Authorization - US-China Codesharing April 30, 2008 We have polled the air carriers on the attached service list regarding the above‑referenced Joint Application. We received no objections. Accordingly, we respectfully request expedited consideration of this Application. Counsel: US Airways, Howard Kass, 480-693-5782 OST-2008-0128 - Exemption - Chicago (Midway)-Cancun Filed April 8, 2008 | Issued May 1, 2008 Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Chicago, Illinois, and Cancun, Mexico. The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is subject to the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A of Order 1988-10-2. Consistent with our standard policy, the dormancy notice period will begin on June 8, 2008, the carrier’s proposed start-up dates for the subject services. By: Paul Gretch |
