Queen Air was formed in order to increase the passenger travel and shipping options in the U.S.-Dominican Republic passenger and cargo market. U.S. carriers continue to dominate the U.S.-Dominican Republic scheduled operations from New York and Miami. Three (3) U.S. carriers (American Airlines, Continental and TWA) operate scheduled combination service from New York and Miami to Santo Domingo. Only two Dominican carriers, APA International and Air Atlantic, provide service to Santo Domingo. While cargo options from Miami have grown in number, American Airlines virtually monopolize the cargo service from New York. Queen Air will therefore enhance the existing scheduled passenger services by offering additional scheduled passenger flights from Miami, New York and San Juan to Santo Domingo. No Dominican carrier is directly serving San Juan. This additional service will provide passengers and shippers from both the Dominican Republic and the United States another carrier option to U.S. gateways.

Answers are due by November 9, 1998, Subpart Q
