Motion for Temporary Dormancy Waiver

American Airlines hereby moves for a temporary dormancy waiver with respect to the following US-Cancun city-pairs:

• St. Louis-Cancun, granted by certificate for Route 794, Order 2001-4-7, April 7, 2001, renewal application filed November 24, 2004 in OST-2001-9027 (pending)
• Boston-Cancun, most recently renewed by Notice of Action Taken in OST-2002-13389, August 10, 2004

Due to the destruction of Cancun caused by Hurricane Wilma, American will not operate 2005-2006 seasonal winter service in the Boston-Cancun and St. Louis-Cancun markets. We request a dormancy waiver through December 1, 2006.

Counsel: American, Carl Nelson, 202-496-5647, carl.nelson@aa.com

OST-2001-9027 - Exemption - St. Louis-Cancun
OST-2002-13389 - Exemption - Boston-Cancun

Filed November 14, 2005 | Issued December 28, 2005

Notice of Action Taken | Word

American holds authority to provide scheduled services in the St. Louis-Cancun and Boston-Cancun markets. The authority in each case is subject to a dormancy condition whereby if the carrier discontinues services on a route segment for 90 days or longer, the carrier must notify the Department of its decision.  On November 14, 2005, American filed an application in the captioned dockets for a waiver of the dormancy condition through December 1, 2006.  American states that due to the destruction caused by Hurricane Wilma in Cancun, it will not operate 2005-2006 seasonal winter service in the St. Louis-Cancun and Boston-Cancun markets.  American notes that its Cancun service has been disrupted since Hurricane Wilma struck Cancun on October 22, 2005

We have decided to grant the application filed by American for a temporary dormancy waiver for scheduled services in the St. Louis-Cancun and Boston-Cancun markets through December 1, 2006.  We will require American to institute services no later than December 1, 2006.  We find that granting American’s request is in the public interest due to the circumstances of Hurricane Wilma’s effects on service to Cancun.  No party opposed American’s request for a waiver.

Any future request to extend the waiver at issue here will have to be considered in light of any specific arguments offered and responses thereto, and in the context of the circumstances presented at that time, including whether another carrier seeks to use the designation at issue.
