Application for Amendment of Statement of Authorization

Under the codeshare agreement between Alaska and Qantas, Qantas will place its two-letter designator code on scheduled flights operated currently by Alaska between Los Angeles and Vancouver/Calgary, and between San Francisco and Seattle/Portland/Vancouver. Codeshare service to Canada from Los Angeles will begin upon receipt of the Department's approval; codeshare service from San Francisco will begin March 26, 2006. Alaska's Los Angeles-Vancouver/Calgary and San Francisco-Seattle/Portland/Vancouver flights will connect with Qantas' flights arriving in Los Angeles and San Francisco, providing Qantas' passengers with convenient connections to the Pacific Northwest and Canada. These services will be in addition to existing Alaska-Qantas codeshare operations on the Los Angeles-Seattle/Portland routes.

Qantas currently holds a foreign air carrier permit from the Department permitting Qantas to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between points in Australia and Los Angeles and San Francisco, and beyond to points in Canada. Qantas is also authorized to serve as many as eight U.S. points beyond its U.S. gateways chosen by the Government of Australia. Alaska understands these eight points include Seattle and Portland. See, Order 94-3-27, March 7, 1994.

Alaska is separately filing in this docket its revised and expanded codeshare agreement with Qantas. The revised agreement supersedes and replaces the codeshare agreement filed by Alaska in this docket on April 15, 1999.
