United Air Lines, Inc. and Lufthansa German Airlines (Exemption and Statement of Authorization, Germany-Riga, Latvia)

OST-97-3109 | November 10, 1997

Joint Application

HTML

United is planning to offer code-share service with Lufthansa on the latter's flights between Germany and Riga, Latvia. Lufthansa presently operates services between Frankfurt and Riga which connect with United/Lufthansa flights to Frankfurt from the U.S. The code share will enable United to hold out services between the U.S. and Riga, the major city and capital of Latvia. These services will begin as soon as all necessary government approvals have been received. United also requests route integration authority. This will enable United to integrate its new authority to serve Riga with its existing Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity and exemption authority.
