OST-1998-3950

http://www.cathaypacific.com/


Cathay Pacific Airways Limited (Exemption, Hong Kong-San Francisco)

OST-1998-3950 | June 11, 1998

Application for an Exemption

By this exemption request, Cathay seeks authority to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Hong Kong and San Francisco. Cathay proposes initially to provide one daily Hong Kong-San Francisco round-trip with A-340-300 aircraft commencing December 1, 1998.  The Hong Kong- San Francisco passenger market currently is served by United Air Lines and Singapore Airlines, so the grant of exemption authority to Cathay will provide competitive service in that market, and will be the first service by a Hong Kong airline. Thus, the proposed services clearly will result in significant service benefits to Hong Kong-U.S. passengers and is pro-competitive.

Answers are due by June 26, 1998
