Consolidated Answer of Northwest Airlines
Northwest believes for several reasons that this "blanket authority" approach is preferable to granting authority to the incumbent carriers on a market-by-market basis, and has followed that approach in its own recently filed certificate application in Docket OST-98-3441. First, this approach is consistent with the broad language of the MOC provisions relating to the incumbent U.S. and Japanese carriers. Second, it reduces the volume of paperwork that the incumbent carriers otherwise would have to prepare (and that DOT decision makers would have to address) if a separate application had to be filed for each pair of countries or cities. Third, because it reduces the volume of such application paperwork, this approach enables the incumbents to continuously revise their routes and schedules in response to changes in consumer demand without having to continuously return to DOT to secure the necessary authority.

To the extent that the Department is prepared to entertain applications for authority to serve new third-country points intermediate to or beyond Japan in response to the conclusion of the new U.S./Japan Memorandum of Consultations ("MOC") dated January 30, 1998, then United also takes this opportunity to seek authority to serve all points in IATA Region TC3.
United also continues to seek route integration authority, as well as the authority to serve all points in Asia via Japan. This route integration is needed in order to operate services between Japan and third-country points outside Asia. With respect to service between Japan and points in IATA Regions TC1 (the Americas) and TC2 (Europe/Africa), United's route integration authority would allow it to operate combination and all-cargo service over its new U.S.-Japan route in conjunction with service authorized in all of its outstanding certificates of public convenience and necessity and exemption authorizations consistent with applicable international agreements

May 7, 2002 | Application for Renewal of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity | U.S.- Japan, The Philippines, and Vietnam on Route 130 |
| Service List |
By Orders 97-10-8 and 98-6-22, the Department renewed and amended United's certificate for Route 130, segments 1, 4, 6 ,7, 9 and 10, authorizing United to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between points in the United States and Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam. That authority was issued for periods of five years. By this application, United asks that this certificate authority be renewed indefinitely or at a minimum for a period of five years.
The Department has previously deferred action on United's request to renew its Vietnam authority. See Orders 97-10-8 and 92-3-38. However, in March 2000, the U.S. and Vietnam entered into an agreement allowing, inter alia, third country code sharing between the U.S. and Vietnam. The Department subsequently awarded third-country code-sharing frequencies to United, Northwest and Delta and granted Northwest and Delta exemption authority to serve Vietnam, noting that United already holds the underlying authority. Order 01-8-21 at 2, n.4, and 3. United is operating code-share services to Vietnam and requests that the Department now act to renew its Vietnam certificate authority for at least the same term as its other temporary certificate authority herein.
Pursuant to its certificate for Route 130, United currently offers scheduled transportation between the United States and Japan, directly and via codeshare, and between the United States and Vietnam, via codeshare. United plans to continue such In the Japan market, United currently flies daily nonstop service between Honolulu/Los Angeles/New York-JFK/Seattle and Narita, double daily between Chicago/San Francisco and Narita and daily between San Francisco and Osaka. United also places its code on daily nonstop flights operated by All Nippon Airlines between Narita and Honolulu/Los Angeles/New York-JFK/San Francisco and Washington-Dulles.
United is continually reviewing the U.S.-Philippines marketplace and hopes to re-enter the market either in its own aircraft or under a codeshare arrangement, or both, pursuant to its authority in this certificate for Route 130. Before restarting service in its own aircraft, United will request an appropriate allocation of frequencies from the Department under the U.S./Philippines bilateral air services agreement. Renewal of United's authority to serve Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam is clearly in the public interest. United does not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining adequate supplies of fuel for the operations.
