OST-98-3436
Federal Express Corporation (US-Japan All-Cargo Service)
OST-98-3436 | February 5, 1998
Application
for Grant of an Exemption
Federal Express submits that grant of the foregoing exemption authority, as requested in this application, is wholly consistent with the terms of the 1952 U.S.-Japan Bilateral Agreement, as amended and/or confirmed by the 1998 MOC between the U.S. and Japan. Grant of the requested exemption is also consistent with the public convenience and necessity, in that it will afford immediate increased operating flexibility to enable Federal Express to adjust the routing and frequency of its U.S.-Japan services more quickly in response to shifting operational or traffic-demand considerations. That increased operating flexibility will enhance the ability of Federal Express to provide efficient, reliable and high-quality all-cargo service between the U.S. and Japan, on which thousands of its customers rely to meet their U.S.-Japan expedited air express and time-definite air freight transportation requirements.

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.
