United Air Lines, Inc. (Exemption, US-Japan)
OST-98-3624 | March 13, 1998
Application for Grant of an Exemption
The sole purpose of this exemption application is to enable United to take immediate action on opportunities that present themselves prior to the date of final action on its application for amendment of its certificate in Docket OST-96-1131, as previously mentioned . This will give United the same flexibility as its competitors which have broader U.S.-Japan authorizations.
Answers are due by March 30, 1998

Consolidated Answer of Delta Air Lines
Unless the Department is prepared to adopt a new policy for future exemptions and revise its well-settled policy of granting exemptions only for actual service proposals in discrete city-pairs, then these applications for blanket exemption authority should be denied.

Delta has offered no basis for limiting United's U.S.-Japan exemption authority except by reference to a policy that has already been abandoned. In these circumstances, the Department should immediately grant United the full exemption authority it has requested. The concerns of Delta with respect to the scope of exemption authority have already been fully addressed in the FedEx notice.

Awarding blanket exemption authority to Northwest and United is fully consistent with the Department's policy with respect to the new U.S.-Japan MOU, and will serve the public interest by facilitating earlier start-up of these valuable new services and reducing the Department's (and the carriers') administrative burden while the carriers' certificate applications are being processed. The Department should not permit Delta's unfounded objection to hinder the ability of Northwest and United to promptly begin advertising and selling new U.S.-Japan services. Northwest urges the Department to orally grant blanket U.S.-Japan exemptions to both Northwest and United today, and confirm that action with a written Notice of Action Taken as soon as practicable.
