OST-99-5614

The Community of Shreveport, Louisiana

Application of The Community of Shreveport, LA, requesting the Department withdraw the four O'Hare slots utilized by American Eagle Airlines in the Shreveport/O'Hare market and reallocate slots to the community for a period of 180 days after on of the following dates, whichever is last: when American Eagle terminates its service on June 1, 1999 or when the Department issues an order awarding the four slots to the commnity. The community believes that other carriers are willing to operate the service to O'Hare if those four slots remained with the community. If another carrier agrees to provide the service, Shreveport is prepared to accept the identical conditions on the reallocation of American Eagle's four O'Hare slots as those inspired by the Department's Orders. If the community is unable to find a carrier within a reasonable period of time (180 days) to operate that service or that carrier's operations are not viable, the slots would be returned to the Department.

The Community of Shreveport, LA

As United has emphasized in prior pleadings, it well understands the desire of communities, Shreveport among them, for nonstop service to O'Hare, because access to O'Hare provides not just a link to Chicago but also a link to communities throughout the U.S. and around the world. It is because of that appreciation for the importance of service to O'Hare that United has worked closely with the several independent carriers that operate under the "United Express" service mark, and with numerous local communities, to assist these carriers in adding additional underserved communities to the United Express network at O'Hare. Nevertheless, United must oppose this application as it has opposed similar applications.
