| Service List |
US Airways currently serves many destinations in the Caribbean, including Aruba, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cancun, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and the Dominican Republic. US Airways has recently made a substantial commitment to expand further its Caribbean services. As part of that expansion, US Airways intends to inaugurate nonstop services between Charlotte, North Carolina, and New York (LGA), New York, on the one hand, and Freeport, Bahamas, on the other. These proposed services will complement US Airways' current Bahamas services. US Airways operates approximately 520 daily mainline and Express departures at its Charlotte gateway, and approximately 205 daily mainline, Shuttle, and Express departures at LaGuardia Airport. These extensive services enable US Airways to offer convenient, on-line connections to Freeport from a large number of communities in the eastern United States (supporting the development and flow of tourism and commerce between the Bahamas and the many communities served by US Airways at Charlotte and LaGuardia).

Answer of Gulfstream International Airlines
Gulfstream International Airlines, Inc. would not normally object to the application of Bahamasair Holdings Limited and US Airways, Inc. and its codeshare partners to engage in codesharing between the U.S. and the Bahamas, but Gulfstream is constrained to object to this application because of the extraordinary delinquency of Bahamasair in reporting traffic data required of it by 14 C.F.R. § 217.3 and 241. So far as Gulfstream can ascertain, Bahamasair failed to submit the T-100 traffic information required from October of 2002 through at least December of 2003, creating a significant competitive disadvantage for other airlines offering U.S. - Bahamas service which have dutifully reported their traffic. Under these circumstances, Gulfstream asks the Department to defer action on the instant application until Bahamasair brings its T-100 reports up to date by submitting the required information for the period October 2002 through December 2003 and beyond through April 2004.

Reply of Bahamasair Holdings Limited
In its June 18, 2004 answer to the Joint Application, Gulfstream International Airlines, Inc. asserted that it was necessary for the Department to defer acting on the Joint Application, because Gulfstream believed that Bahainasair had not submitted certain T-100(f) traffic reports to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. However, the truth of the matter is that Bahamasair did submit those T--I 00(f) reports for the periods from October 2002 through December 2003.
Bahamasair learned that there were some data quality problems with a number of its reports from that period, and the carrier worked diligently with BTS officials to resolve those data problems.
