By this order, we tentatively select Delta Air Lines, Inc., Northwest Airlines, Inc., and United Air Lines, Inc., to serve Prague, and we tentatively allocate seven weekly frequencies to Delta, and fourteen weekly frequencies each to Northwest United for these carriers to conduct their service under code-sharing arrangements with third-country carriers.

We tentatively conclude that the proposals of Northwest, United, and Delta offer the greatest benefits to the traveling public due to the larger number of U. S. cities that would receive daily nonstop-to-nonstop connecting service to and from Prague with convenient connecting times at the intermediate point and should, therefore, be selected for the three available designations for third-country code-share services in the U.S.-Czech Republic market. Specifically, Northwest would provide daily same-day nonstop-to-nonstop connecting service via Amsterdam for twelve U. S. cities both eastbound to Prague and westbound from Prague. United would provide daily same-day nonstop-to-nonstop connecting service via Frankfort for ten U. S. cities both to and from Prague. Delta would provide daily same-day nonstop-to-nonstop connecting service via Zurich for eight U.S. cities both to and from Prague.
