Issued March 23, 2007 | Served April 18, 2007
Order Issuing Certificate | Word
By this order we grant US Airways, Inc. certificate authority to provide combination service to all of our foreign aviation partners that have entered into an open-skies agreement with the United States where that agreement is being applied.
On our own initiative, we have also decided to grant to US Airways certificate authority to serve Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Samoa, Singapore, and Tonga, each a signatory to the Multilateral Agreement on the Liberalization of International Air Transportation. We defer action on the remainder of the carrier’s requests and will handle them separately. Our action here establishes for the carrier a new route certificate
We will also, on our own initiative, grant the carrier blanket authority such that when an additional foreign aviation partner enters into an open-skies agreement with the United States, and where that agreement is being applied, authority to serve that open-skies partner will automatically be included as part of the carrier’s certificate authority without the need for further action by the Department or the carrier.

OST-2007-29308 - Exemption - Phoenix-Mexican Points
September 20, 2007
US Airways hereby applies for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41101 and a designation in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Phoenix, Arizona, and Acapulco, Mexico City, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, San Jose del Cabo, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, and Manzanillo, Mexico. The carrier requests that this exemption take effect not later than 12:00 a.m. September 26, 2007, in order to allow uninterrupted service in these markets after America West Airlines, Inc. ceases existence as an operating carrier and US Airways assumes its operations.
The final step in the merger process will occur at 12:00 a.m. on September 26, 2007, when America West ceases to exist as an operating carrier. At that time, US Airways will assume all operations conducted by America West. Although US Airways already has virtually all the authority needed to assume these operations, service to the seven Mexican points named above still requires action by the Department. Accordingly, the exemption authority requested herein is needed in order to permit uninterrupted operation of the Phoenix, Arizona - Mexico service now being conducted by America West.
US Airways further requests that the United States Government designate it under the Agreement for service on the above-referenced city-pair routes. America West will, once the subject application has been granted, lodge a request by letter to the Department surrendering its designation, effective September 26, 2007.

Re: Partial Cancellation of Codesharing
On November 4, 2005, the Department authorized US Airways, Inc. to code-share on flights operated by America West Airlines, Inc. and Mesa Airlines, Inc. between various points in the United States and Mexico. (See Erratum, Docket OST-2005-22645). On September 26, 2007, America West and US Airways combined their operations under US Airways' Operating Certificate, and all international air service is now being conducted pursuant to certificate and exemption authority previously granted to US Airways.
Accordingly, US Airways hereby requests that the Department cancel its exemption authority to codeshare on flights previously operated by America West in the markets listed:
US Airways intends to continue to place its code on Mesa-operated flights in these markets, as evidenced by its renewal application. (See Application of US Airways for Renewal of Exemptions, September 6, 2007, Docket OST-2005-22645).
Counsel: US Airways, Howard Kass
OST-2005-22645 - Exemption - Various US-Mexico City-Pairs Codesharing with America West
October 4, 2007
Amended Application for Renewal of Exemptions
US Airways timely filed its initial application for renewal of exemption authority to codeshare in various U.S.-Mexico markets on September 6, 2007. Subsequent to its filing, the Department granted US Airways exemption authority to operate its own flights between "Phoenix, Arizona, on the one hand, and Acapulco, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Manzanillo, Mazatlan, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, on the other hand." (Notice of Action Taken, September 21, 2007, Docket OST-2007-29308.) This grant of exemption authority rendered US Airways' Initial Application moot with respect to these markets. Accordingly, the attached Exhibit A contains an amended list of U.S.-Mexico city-pairs for which US Airways seeks renewal of its exemption authority to provide codeshare service.
US Airways' request to provide service between Phoenix, Arizona and Cancun, Mexico, pursuant to a codeshare with America West Airlines, Inc. is also now moot in light of the September 26, 2007, operational consolidation of America West and US Airways. US Airways separately holds exemption authority to operate its own aircraft in this market. (See Notice of Action Taken, May 26, 2006, Docket OST-2006-24613.)
US Airways currently provides scheduled air service between the coterminal points listed in Exhibit A pursuant to a code-share relationship with Mesa Airlines, Inc. d/b/a US Airways Express. Renewal of US Airways' exemption will enable US Airways to continue developing its presence in Mexico.

Renewal of scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between the coterminal points Washington, DC and Chicago, Illinois, on the one hand, and Mexico City, Mexico, on the other hand. US Airways states that it continues to provide this service pursuant to a codeshare arrangement with United Air Lines, whereby US Airways places its code on flights operated by United in these markets.

OST-2007-0025 - Exemption - Phoenix-Guadalajara
October 22, 2007
US Airways, Inc. hereby applies for an exemption and, to the extent necessary, a designation in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Phoenix, Arizona and Guadalajara, Mexico. US Airways requests expedited processing of this application so that it can begin implementing schedule changes and marketing as soon as possible.
US Airways already holds authority to provide code-share service between Phoenix and Guadalajara pursuant to its code-share arrangement with Mesa Airlines, Inc. (See Erratum, Notice of Action Taken, November 4, 2005, Docket OST-2005-22645 (renewal timely filed on September 6, 2007).) US Airways now seeks exemption authority to operate between PHX and GDL using its own aircraft.
US Airways plans to commence service on or about January 5, 2007, using Airbus A-319 aircraft. US Airways will operate this service six times per week on a year-round basis.
US Airways will continue to codeshare on flights operated by Mesa in this market. Mesa currently provides daily scheduled air service in the PHX-GDL market using CRJ-900 regional jet aircraft. Mesa will continue to operate flights between Phoenix and Guadalajara one day per week.
Mesa is the only U.S. carrier currently providing scheduled, non-stop service in the Phoenix-Guadalajara market, and US Airways is unaware of any other U.S. carriers with authority to serve this market. By granting the requested authority, one designation for a U.S. carrier to provide scheduled air service in the PHX-GDL market will remain available.

Counsel: US Airways, Howard Kass
Filed October 22, 2007 | Issued November 1, 2007
Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Phoenix, Arizona, and Guadalajara, Mexico.
US Airways states that it already holds exemption authority to serve the market pursuant to a code-share arrangement with Mesa Airlines, Inc. (see Notice of Action Taken dated November 4, 2005, in Docket OST-2005-22645), but now seeks authority to serve the market as a direct carrier (own-aircraft) operator. US Airways states that it will also continue to place its code on Mesa flights in the market. We note that the authority granted to US Airways here would allow the carrier to offer both direct carrier and code-share service on the Phoenix-Guadalajara route.

OST-2005-22645 - Exemption - Various US-Mexico City-Pairs Codesharing with America West
Filed September 6, 2007 | Amended October 4, 2007 | Issued November 1, 2007

In its September 6, 2007, application US Airways included, among other things, requests for renewal of exemption authority to provide code-share services in certain U.S.-Mexico city-pair markets where US Airways has subsequently obtained exemption authority to serve the markets in its own right. The October 4, 2007, amendment provides a revised listing of the requested authority.
Previously, in Docket OST-2005-22645, US Airways was also granted exemption authority to provide certain code-share services in the Phoenix-Mexico City, Phoenix-Mazatlan, Phoenix-Puerto Vallarta, Phoenix-San Jose del Cabo, Phoenix-Acapulco, Phoenix-Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Phoenix-Manzanillo, Phoenix-Cancun, Los Angeles-Acapulco, Los Angeles-Mazatlan, and Oakland-San Jose del Cabo markets. US Airways now holds exemption authority to serve the following markets with its own aircraft: Phoenix-Mexico City, Phoenix-Mazatlan, Phoenix-Puerto Vallarta, Phoenix-San Jose del Cabo, Phoenix-Acapulco, Phoenix-Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, and Phoenix-Manzanillo (see Notice of Action Taken dated September 21, 2007, in Docket OST-2007-29308); the Phoenix-Cancun market (see Notice of Action Taken dated May 26, 2006, in Docket OST-2006-24613); and the Phoenix-Guadalajara market (see Notice of Action Taken dated November 1, 2007, in Docket OST-2007-0025).
