Re: Will Not Renew Seasonal Market Services

In accordance with Condition 10 of Alaska Airlines, Inc. 's Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Route 559 (San Francisco-Mazatlan, Docket OST-1999-6276), and Condition 7 of Appendix A of Order 1988-10-2 applicable to Alaska's exemptions to serve San Francisco-Zihuatanejo/lxtapa (Docket OST-2003-16713) and San Francisco-Cancun (Docket OST-2006-25077), Alaska hereby notifies the Department of Transportation that Alaska will not resume seasonal service in these markets. Alaska has no objection to cancellation of its designations to serve San Francisco-Mazatlan, San Francisco-Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, and San Francisco-Cancun.

Alaska hereby withdraws its pending applications for renewal of its exemptions in Dockets OST-2003-16713 and OST-2006-25077. Alaska also withdraws its pending request for renewal of its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Route 559 in Docket OST-1999-6276, but only to the extent its request seeks renewal of its authority to serve San Francisco-Mazatlan.

Alaska's certificate for Route 559 contains authority to serve a number of U.S.-Mexico routes. Alaska withdraws only its request for renewal of its certificate authority to serve San Francisco-Mazatlan.
