United is planning to offer code-share service with Lufthansa on the latter's flights between points in Germany and both Sarajevo and Zagreb. Lufthansa presently operates services from both Frankfurt and Munich to Zagreb and will be starting Munich-Sarajevo service on March 29, 1998. These flights will connect with United/Lufthansa flights to Frankfurt and Munich from the U.S. The code share will enable United to hold out services between the U.S. and Sarajevo and Zagreb, the major cities and capitals of Bosnia and Croatia, respectively.

United seeks (1) to renew each of the above-detailed exemption authorities for a minimum period of two years or until the Department grants United's corresponding application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, as amended, currently pending in Docket OST-95-625 and, with respect to United's U.S.-Kiev, Ukraine authority, until the Department grants United's application for renewal of a certificate of public convenience and necessity filed January 18, 2000 in Docket OST-96-1375; and (2) amendment of United's exemption granted in Docket OST-98-3476 to permit United to serve Sarajevo, Bosnia and Zagreb, Croatia via points in third countries, and to integrate these services with United's existing certificate and exemption authority.

By this application, United seeks to renew each of the above-detailed exemption authorities for a minimum period of two years or until the Department grants United's corresponding applications for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, as amended, currently pending in Dockets OST-95-625, OST-98-3853 and OST-99­6385. United also requests that the Department give each of the above-detailed exemption authorities a common expiration date so there will not be a need for multiple renewals.  In the case of United's exemption in Docket OST-99-5097 to serve Windhoek, Namibia, via points in Germany, United requests an amendment to include the right to operate via any intermediate points in third countries which United is authorized to serve. Such an amendment would give United additional flexibility to serve Windhoek consistent with its broad exemptions in other markets.

Counsel:  Wilmer Culter, Jeffrey Manley, 202.663.6670, jmanley@wilmer.com

United wishes to clarify its renewal request with respect to Dockets OST­99-5097 (U.S.-Namibia) and OST-99-6720 (U.S.-Accra, Ghana, and U.S.-Lagos, Nigeria). United seeks renewal and amendment of the authority to operate these services pursuant to authorized code-share arrangements with any of its foreign code-share partners, not just Lufthansa. In Notice of Action Taken dated July 13, 2000 (Docket OST-99-6720) and Notice of Action Taken dated February 7, 2001 (Docket OST-99­5097), exemption authority was granted to perform the above services. Both notices state that United intends to operate or will operate this service under a code-share arrangement with Lufthansa. United believed that this wording describing its initial plans for providing these services was merely illustrative and did not restrict United's ability to code share with any of its foreign partners. United wishes to clarify for the record its intention in the renewal and amendment application dated January 23, 2002, to seek the flexibility to offer services to these points in conjunction with any of its authorized code­share partners.

In addition, United also wishes to clarify that it seeks authority to integrate its U.S.-Lagos/Accra exemption authority in Docket OST-99-6720 with other outstanding certificate and exemption authority. The Notice dated July 13, 2000 in that docket refers to route integration authority "by virtue of either the present action or other action of the Department." Because that Notice itself contained no specific route integration authority, United urges that the U.S.-Lagos/Accra authority, as renewed, specifically contain the Department's standard route integration provision applicable to exemption authority.
