S carriers equally to Trans World Airlines for its code-share services with Delta and to Continental for its code-share services with Northwest Airlines. We will afford interested parties ten days to object to our tentative decisions and seven calendar days for replies to any objections filed. Also, we have decided, by final action in this order, to allocate the 21 weekly frequencies available for beyond-Japan code-sharing services to Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines for services beyond Japan to Seoul, Korea (or, alternatively.
