Order 99-2-26

Reno Air, Inc. / America West Airlines, Inc.

Order 99-2-26 OST-97-2771 OST-99-5030

Issued and Served February 23, 1999

Order on Motion to Reopen the Record

High Density Rule - Chicago O'Hare

HTML

By this Order, we are denying the motion of United Air Lines to reopen the record in Docket OST-97-2771 and reallocate to another qualified airline the slot exemptions now held by Reno Air.  We dismiss the America West Airlines' application for slot exemptions in the Reno-Chicago-O'Hare market. Whether the Department exercises its discretion to rescind an award of slot exemptions depends on public interest considerations. Our public interest assessment of this case weighs in favor of allowing Reno Air to continue these operations. Among other things, the record indicates that withdrawal of these services by the Department would have a severe and adverse impact on the economy of Reno/Tahoe and the State of Nevada.
