Consolidated Answer of United Air Lines

US-Mexico Codesharing

HTML

United is not opposed to grant of the American/Aero California applications so long as the pending code-share applications of United and Compania Aviacion de Mexicana are granted concurrently. The recent resolution of the U.S.-Mexico transborder code-share dispute offers the opportunity for all outstanding U.S.-Mexico code-share applications, including those of United and its code-share partners, to be immediately granted.2 United has been seeking to significantly expand its code-sharing with Mexicana for over three years, but the majority of United's application pending in Docket OST-97-3237 and a portion of its application pending in Docket OST-96-1988 have been deferred pending resolution of bilateral code-share issues. On February 12, 1999, United and Mexicana amended their application pending in Docket OST-97-3237 to conform their request to the new bilateral agreement, and are today supplementing their application to affirm that they seek interior code-share authority of the same scope requested by American and Aero California.

Order 99-6-6 OST-97-2477 Undocketed OST-99-5112 OST-99-5113	Issued and Served June 4, 1999	Order Approving U.S.- Mexico Codeshare Services Scanned Copy	U.S. - Mexico Codeshare Services
		Codeshare, U.S. Carrier and Foreign Air Carrier Conditions

As is our normal practice in these matters, we will impose our standard conditions on the codeshare authorizations, along with our standard dormancy notice conditions for U.S. carriers on the new exemption authority for nonstop transborder U.S.-Mexico services granted by this order. We have decided not to apply the dormancy conditions to the broad exemption authority awarded for the beyond gateway interior U.S. and interior Mexico code-share services authorized. The dormancy conditions were designed to maximize U.S. carrier opportunities under the U.S.-Mexico aviation agreement to ensure that limited-entry routes not being served would be readily available for service by other carriers. Because there are now no limits on the beyond gateway code-share operations under the February 1999 agreement, we do not find that it is necessary, or in the public interest, to apply the dormancy condition to those services.
