Delta Connection Carriers; Comair, Inc., Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc., and Atlantic Coast Jets, Inc.

Counsel:  Shaw Pitman, Robert Cohn, 202.663.8060, and Silverberg Goldman, Robert Silverberg, 202.944.3300

Continental Express, Inc., Delta Connection Carriers; Comair, Inc., Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Inc., and Atlantic Coast Jets, Inc.

Thus it is obvious that these two applications attempt to use slot exemptions to obtain new service for the largest markets that have already received good service. Markets historically lacking good service are excluded, even where, as in the case of South Bend, they already have high New York traffic and are at good distances (New York-South Bend is 645 miles, Asheville is 592, and Wilmington, NC, is only 496).  For the foregoing reasons, the Department should carefully consider the nature of the service proposed by Continental Express and the Delta Connection Carriers herein and encourage these carriers and others to use the expanded LaGuardia slot authority provided by the Air 21 Act to meet the needs of small and non-hub communities such as South Bend that are truly starved for nonstop New York service.
