OST-2003-16735 - America West - Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta Codeshare with Mesa
OST-2003-16718 - Mesa Airlines Exemption
|
America West Airlines, Inc. OST-2003-16735 - Exemption - Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta Codeshare with Mesa December 16, 2003 Respectfully requests an exemption effective for at least two years from 49 U.S.C. 41101 and any other relief necessary to authorize America West to display its "HP" designator code on combination flights operated by Mesa Airlines, Inc. between Los Angeles, California and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico using a CRJ Model 900,86- to 96-seat aircraft' America West intends to begin the codeshare operations on or about June 1, 2003, and therefore respectfully requests the Department grant it an exemption effective immediately to allow the Company to pursue advance marketing and sales activities. In addition, America West respectfully requests that the Department issue a notification of its authorization to codeshare with Mesa on the LAX- PVR route. Counsel: America West and Baker & Hostetler, Joanne Young, 202-861-1532
Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Los Angeles, California, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. America West states that it will use the requested authority pursuant to a code-share arrangement with Mesa Airlines, Inc., whereby America West will place its “HP” code on flights operated by Mesa in the subject market. Under the U.S.-Mexico aviation agreement, up to two U.S. carriers may be designated to operate direct-carrier service (own-aircraft flights), and up to four U.S. carriers may be authorized to provide code-share services in a given city-pair market. At the time this application was filed, Alaska Airlines, Inc., held one of the designations to serve the Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta route, and the second designation was available. However, four carriers already held the Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta code-share authorizations (Continental Airlines, Inc.; Delta Air Lines, Inc.; Northwest Airlines, Inc.; and Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian)). Thus, there were no code-share authorizations available for the America West/Mesa code-share proposal here. Subsequently, Hawaiian filed a dormancy notice for the Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta market, and we withdrew Hawaiian’s code-share authorization. As a result, both the requisite designation and code-share authorizations were available to allow us to proceed with the instant application. By: Paul Gretch
