Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana, S.A.
OST-1998-3626 - Exemption - US-Spain Codesharing with American
March 13, 1998
Iberia's authorization to serve DCA would also inject a healthy element of competition in service offerings between Spain and the Baltimore-Washington area. Such competitive service will provide consumer benefits by making available service, fare and quality options that do not now exist. That is, an Iberia service from DCA to Madrid via JFK would offer U.S. passengers in the Washington metropolitan area an option other than Spanair's service from Dulles.

Air Europa and TWA have been waiting several months for the Department to approve their proposed codeshare operations; it would be unfair to these carriers, and deleterious to the public interest. were approval to be further delayed while the Department analyzes the complexities of American/Iberia.

Consolidated Answer of Delta Air Lines
The American/Iberia alliance is an integral part of American's strategy to dominate Latin America by consolidating traffic of its code-share partners moving among the United States, Europe and Latin America. Iberia provides service not only between the U.S. and Spain, but also between the United States and Central America. Iberia currently serves six Miami-Central America routes, including Panama City, Managua, Guatemala City, San Jose, San Pedro Sula and San Salvador. These are the same city-pairs in which America plans to form a code-share alliance with the TACA Group.
Counsel: Delta and Shaw Pittman, Robert Cohn, 202-663-8060
Consolidated Answer of United Air Lines
United urges the Department to withhold approval of Iberia's request for exemption authority to offer code-share service to Tampa or Washington (DCA). United also urges similar action with respect to any exemption or statement of authorization being granted to Air Nostrum or Aviaco that would allow American to offer code-share service to extrabilateral points in or beyond Spain.

Consolidated Reply of Iberia, Air Nostrum and Aviaco
United's position confuses Third/Fourth Freedom codesharing, which is bilaterally authorized under the U.S.-Spain agreement, and "third-country" codesharing, which is not. The extrabilateral authority at issue here involves services that will be operated as an incident to Third and Fourth Freedom services, which constitute the primary subject matter of the bilateral. The extrabilateral aspects are de minimis. Iberia seeks to serve only two additional U.S. points on a Third and Fourth Freedom basis. American seeks to serve eight additional Spanish points on a Third/Fourth Freedom basis and two additional points beyond Spain but only in conjunction with its Third/Fourth Freedom services on agreed routes between the U.S. and Spain.

Response of United Air Lines and Motion for Leave to File
Iberia has wholly failed to address the issue of reciprocity for the type extrabilateral code sharing authority it requests. It merely repeats its erroneous assertions that thirdcountry carrier code sharing is not covered by the bilateral, an assertion United has already refuted in documents which were served on Iberia. In these circumstances, Iberia's request for extrabilateral code-share authority should be denied for the reasons already cited by United.

Petition of United Air Lines for Review of Staff Action
Specifically, United requests the Department to review the staff's oral approval of statements of authorization issued to the Spanish carrier applicants to display the code of American Airlines, Inc. ("American") on services between Madrid and Rome, Italy. Such approval is inconsistent with Department precedent and raises a substantial and important question of policy. On review, that action should be reversed and the applications for statements of authorization should be dismissed with respect to Madrid-Rome service.

Joint Answer of American, Iberia, Air Nostrum and Aviaco to Petition for Review of United Air Lines
United's 1994 application to serve eleven points in Italy on a third-country codeshare basis involved a far different situation from the joint applicants, plan to provide codeshare service beyond Madrid to Rome. The dismissal of thatapplication is not a reason to grant United's instant petitionfor review. The staff's action should be upheld.

By Order 98-12-6, the Department confirmed action of its staff in the above-referenced proceedings with respect to code sharing by American and Iberia taken in a Notice of Action Taken dated April 30, 1998. United Air Lines, Inc., ("United") by Petition dated May 20, 1998, in Dockets OST-97-2965, OST-98-3626 and Undocketed sought review of staff action taken in the April 30, 1998, Notice as it related to the purported approval of code sharing by American between the U. S. and Italy via Spain.

December 18, 1998 | Response of American and Iberia | US-Spain Codesharing |
United's petition seeks review of the NOAT's award of authority to Iberia and its affiliated carriers to carry American's, "AA", code on flights between Madrid and Rome on the ground, inter alia, that the authority is outside the scope of the U.S.-Italy bilateral. In a joint answer submitted on June 1, 1998, American and Iberia opposed United's petition. Among other things, they noted the imminence of U.S.-Italy Open Skies negotiations and argued that it would be imprudent and premature to disturb the limited Madrid-Rome codeshare award before the outcome of these negotiations was known. By way of response to United's letter of December 17, American and Iberia hereby adopt their joint answer of June 1, 1998. In addition, they note a material development not mentioned by United in its letter: On November 12, 1998, the U.S. and Italy announced that they had initialed an Open Skies protocol amending the existing U.S.-Italy air transport agreement. Article 9 BIS of the amended agreement authorizes precisely the kind of third-country codesharing to which United has objected as being extra-bilateral. Although not yet in effect, the successful negotiation of the U.S.-Italy Open Skies agreement lends further strength to the previous arguments of American and Iberia against disturbing the NOAT's award of Madrid-Rome codeshare authority, recently confirmed by Order 98-12-6.

Renew for five years certificate authority (Route 733) authorizing scheduled combination services between the United States and the United Kingdom, excluding London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports.

Petition for review of staff action and request that the Department reverse the award of code-share authority to American Airlines and Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana to the extent that it permitted code-share service between Madrid and Rome (See Notice of Action dated April 30, 1998, in Dockets OST-97-2965 and 98-3626, and Order 98-12-6). United stated that American's proposed service in this market was not consistent with the aviation agreement between the United States and Italy. American and Iberia filed a response. Subsequent to the petition, the United States and Italy signed an open-skies agreement, and U.S. carrier service, including American's service at issue here, is now covered by this more liberal arrangement. United's petition, therefore, is now moot.

By Order 2000-10-14, the Department determined that Delta's authorization was available for allocation since Delta proposed to change its code-share partner from Swissair to Air France. Subsequently, by Order 2000-11-2, we selected Delta and Air France for the available authorization (Docket OST-2000-6982). Against this background, Delta's application to renew its authorization in Docket OST-97-2803 is now moot.
