OST-98-3449
Japan Airlines Company, Ltd. (Implementation of 1998 MOU)
OST-98-3449 | February 9, 1998
Application
for Emergency Exemption Authority
Specifically, JAL asks, in keeping with Tab A (Paragraph A) and Tab C (Paragraph A) of the 1998 MOC, that it be granted immediate exemption authority permitting it to operate both combination and all-cargo services between any point or points behind Japan, any point or points in Japan, any intermediate point or points, any point or points in the territory of the United States, and any point or points beyond the United States, without any limitation on frequency or capacity. JAL also asks that such authority be granted consistent with the provisions of Tab F ("Operational Flexibility") and Tab G ("Change of Gauge") of the 1998 MOC. Finally, JAL asks that this exemption authority be granted for a period not less than one year in duration.] The exemption authority sought herein would not affect JAL's existing permit authority; it would merely bridge the gap between JAL's existing permit authority and the broader operating rights accorded JAL under the 1998 MOC.

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.
