OST-2003-15092 - IATCPA Complaint January 17, 2007 Re: One-Hundred-Fifty-Sixth Escrow Deposit Report This is the ONE‑HUNDRED‑FIFTY‑SIXTH Escrow Deposit Report for the week ended January 14, 2007. Attached please find the DOCUMENTATION. Aerolineas made a deposit into the escrow of U.S. $43,260.09 for a total escrow amount of U.S. $4,234,403.17. Counsel: Rosen Winhaus, John Romans, 212-530-4827, jromans@lrjwlaw.com Order 2007-1-10 Issued and Served January 18, 2007 This consent order concerns certain fare displays on Air Canada's U.S. website (www.aircanada.com) and certain displays of Air Canada fares on Travelocity.com, a major travel vendor and agent of Air Canada, that failed to comply with the Department's rule on full fare advertising, 14 CFR 399.84. These fare displays, in addition, constituted unfair and deceptive trade practices and unfair methods of competition in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712. Based on these violations, the order assesses a compromise civil penalty of $ 10,000 and directs the carrier to cease and desist from future similar violations. By: Rosalind Knapp American Airlines, Inc. and Compania Mexicana de Aviacion, S.A. de C.V. OST-2004-16945 - Statements of Authorization and Related Exemption Authority - US-Mexico Codesharing January 18, 2007 Joint Application for Additional Codesharing Authorizations American Airlines, Inc. and Compania Mexicana de Aviacion, S.A. de C.V. hereby jointly apply under 14 CFR Part 212 and 49 USC 40109 for an amended statement of authorization and related exemption authority to engage in certain transborder codesharing services in addition to those authorized by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on April 29, 2004 and subsequent amendments. The applicants request that the amended statement of authorization be granted for an indefinite period, and that the exemptions be granted for a period co-extensive with the exemptions granted previously in this docket (that is, until March 23, 2008). Specifically, American requests a statement of authorization, and Mexicana requests the necessary underlying exemption authority (including the right to integrate such authority with existing certificates and exemptions), in order to display the "MX*" designator code in conjunction with foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on flights operated by American on three additional U.S.-Mexico transborder routes, effective February 28, 2007:
American and Mexicana request expedited approval of this application so that they may begin promotional and sales activities at the earliest possible date. Counsel: Squire Sanders, Charles Donley, 202-626-6840, cdonley@ssd.com for Mexicana / American, Carl Nelson, 202-496-5647, carl.nelson@aa.com for American OST-1996-2016 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Route 740 - Atlanta-Brazil January 18, 2007 Application for Renewal of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity Delta hereby applies for renewal of its certificate authority to engage in scheduled combination service between Atlanta, on the one hand, and Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, on the other hand, as authorized by Route 740. This authority was last renewed by Order 2002-7-31, and is set to expire on July 18, 2007. Delta requests renewal for a period of at least five years Pursuant to Route 740 and route integration authority, Delta provides nonstop service to Brazil from its international gateways at Atlanta and New York (JFK) using Boeing 767-300ER equipment. Counsel: Delta and Hogan & Hartson, Robert Cohn, 202-637-4999 Delta Air Lines, Inc. and Aeroflot Russian Airlines OST-2007-26805 - Statements of Authorization and Related Exemption - US-Russia Codesharing
January 18, 2007 American does not object to this application, provided that the Department obtains assurances from the Government of the Russian Federation that Russia will promptly approve applications by U.S. carriers, including American, to engage in third‑country codesharing between the U.S. and Russia via intermediate points in Europe, consistent with the terms of the U.S.‑Russia Air Transport Agreement, as amended. On November 8, 2006, American submitted a similar answer to the joint application of Northwest Airlines, Inc. and Aeroflot Russian Airlines for codeshare authorization currently pending in OST-2006-26106. Counsel: American, Carl Nelson, 202-496-5647, carl.nelson@aa.com
January 18, 2007 As United explained in its answer and response to the similar applications of Aeroflot with Continental and Northwest, the Russian authorities have, up until now, been inconsistent in their application of the ASA to code-share services involving U.S. carriers. They have refused to approve United/Lufthansa's proposed code-share service between Frankfurt and two points in Russia (Moscow and St. Petersburg), which is also consistent with the ASA. United and Lufthansa have recently filed another application with the Russian authorities to offer daily code‑share services on these routes starting on or about March 25, 2007, the same startup date proposed by Delta and Aeroflot (and by Continental/Northwest and Aeroflot). Given the checkered history of Russia's compliance with the code-share terms of the ASA, the Department should not act to approve code-share services to the U.S. by Aeroflot (or any other Russian carrier) with Delta (or with Northwest or Continental) until it has received appropriate assurances that Russia has approved United's code-share service with Lufthansa. It should be noted that the Annexes governing code-share service expire by their terms on March 25, 2007, the startup date proposed by Delta and Aeroflot. The Department should also receive assurances that Russia will apply the code-sharing Annexes on a non-discriminatory basis to both same country and third-country code-shares after March 25 before acting on the pending Aeroflot applications.

Essential Air Service at Clovis and Silver City, New Mexico OST-1996-1902 - Clovis January 9, 2007 Comments of City of Albuquerque It appears that Pacific Wings has the potential to serve the public interest, convenience and necessity to promote economical and sustainable intrastate air service in New Mexico, and we support the airline in this endeavor. By: Fred Mondragon Essential Air Service at Massena, Ogdensburg and Watertown, New York January 9, 2007 Ex-Parte Letter to: As I am sure you know, after carefully considering the various issues involved, the Department issued Order 2006-12-22 on December 22, 2006, selecting the proposal supported by each of the communities - the proposal submitted by Big Sky Airlines to serve Boston, a new hub destination. I understand that the three communities have wanted service to a different hub for some time, especially since US Airways significantly downsized its operations at Pittsburgh. The new service is expected to begin on or about March 1. By: Mary Peters International Air Transportation Association
