US-Romania |
The Department has fully considered and rejected Continental's arguments and correctly determined that Continental's proposal will provide the fewest service and competitive benefits of any applicant. Collectively, the proposals of Delta, United and Northwest will offer 41 weekly flights to Romania, providing online connecting service to 16 different U.S. gateways. No combination that includes Continental's proposal would match this level of service benefits.

March 1, 1999 | Answer of United Air Lines |
US-Romania |
Continental objects to its slightly deferred start-up on the basis of the alleged benefits it would bring by adding an additional code-share network for services between the U.S. and Eastern Europe to compete with the networks which carriers such as United, Delta and Northwest already have in place. There is no analysis offered as to why service to Romania is essential to Continental's establishment of this regional code-share network. Continental already offers code-share service to the Czech Republic and is eligible to do so to Poland and Hungary. There is no suggestion that Continental requires access to Bucharest as a means of serving other countries in this region. Indeed, Bucharest is poorly located to provide such access, and Continental proposes to serve it as an end-point, not a hub.
