Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.

OST-01-10736	September 28, 2001	Application for Exemption	U.S.- Mexico Codeshare w/Alaska Airlines
		Service List

The proposed service will be offered as a code share with Alaska Airlines between the United States and Mexico. Granting of the underlying authority will provide additional U.S. carrier competition in the important U.S. bilateral markets of Mexico. It will provide new opportunities for connecting passengers from Hawaii and the West Coast, improved connections and expand choices for consumers not only in carriers, but in frequent flyer programs, together with increased service options. Code share services between Mexico and the United States are specifically allowed under the bilateral on a city pair by city pair basis. Approval of Hawaiian’s application is clearly consistent with the public interest as well as under the bilateral agreement with Mexico.

Hawaiian plans to commence daily service in the code share markets as soon as DOT approval is received. Code share service on Alaska will be offered to five destinations in Mexico from Los Angeles: Cancun; Ixtapa; Manznillo; Mazatlan; and Puerto Vallarta with Hawaiian placing its two letter designated code (HA) on flights operated by Alaska Airlines.

Application for Renewal of Exemption | Word

Hereby submits this Application for Renewal of Exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41101 for scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail to specified cities in Mexico. The Department issued its Notice of Action Taken approving Hawaiian's original request on October 18, 2001. That authority expires October 18, 2003. Even though Hawaiian is not presently using this authority, it anticipates commencing service to these destinations this calendar year.

The service will be offered as a code share with Alaska Airlines between the United States and Mexico. Renewal of the underlying authority will provide additional U.S. carrier competition in the important U.S. bilateral markets of Mexico. It will provide new opportunities for connecting passengers from Hawaii and the West Coast, improved connections and expand choices for consumers not only in carriers, but in frequent flyer programs, together with increased service options.
