OST-2004-17986 - Air Wisconsin / Chautauqua / Mesa / Republic / Shuttle America / SkyWest / Trans States - United Express Carriers - Codeshare with United
|
Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation / Chautauqua Airlines, Inc. / Mesa Airlines, Inc. / Republic Airline, Inc. / Shuttle America Corp. / SkyWest Airlines, Inc. / Trans States Airlines, Inc. OST-04-17986 - Codesharing Statement of Authorization May 28, 2004 Over the forthcoming weeks, ACA is due to terminate all of its services as a United Express carrier. United has entered into agreements with each of the Joint Applicants to operate those flights in place of ACA. The foreign carrier partners, however, (with a few exceptions') do not have pre-existing code-share relationships with any of the Joint Applicants and, therefore, additional authorization from the Department is required to enable them to continue to display their designator codes on established United Express routes currently operated by ACA. In order to ensure continuity of service for the foreign carrier partners' passengers who wish to utilize those United Express services as part of itineraries in foreign air transportation, the Joint Applicants request a statement of authorization for a limited duration of 90 days. Prior to the expiration of that initial period, the Joint Applicants expect to file with the Department in this docket definitive code-share agreements with the foreign carrier partners along with a request that the Department, subject to its review of those agreements and consistent with Department policy, grant a statement or statements of authorization of indefinite duration, subject to the usual conditions the Department generally attaches to such code-share authority. In addition to facilitating continuity of existing code-share service for passengers, approval of this joint application will help to minimize the regulatory burden on the Department arising from the operational change-over of United Express services from ACA to the Joint Applicants.

All carriers' representatives have advised me that they have no objection to the granting of the request contained in the Application. Counsel: Wilmer Cutler, Caryn Garvin, 202-663-6000 OST-04-17986 - Codesharing Statement of Authorization Filed May 28, 2004 | Issued July 6, 2004 For a 90-day period, enable the Joint Applicants to carry the codes of certain foreign carriers (described below) on services that Joint Applicants operate as United Express, pending finalization and Departmental review of relevant contractual agreements. The Joint Applicants state that such Statement of Authorization will facilitate continuity of code-share services offered by certain foreign carriers, all of which are members of the Star Alliance and code-share partners of United Air Lines, Inc., on United Express flights heretofore operated between U.S. points by Atlantic Coast Airlines, Inc. (ACA) Each of the Joint Applicants requests authorization to display the two-letter designator code of any of the foregoing foreign carrier partners on flights operated by that Joint Applicant as United Express between any points in the United States. The Joint Applicants notify the Department that they intend to code share between Chicago (ORD) and/or Washington, DC (IAD), on the one hand, and other U.S. points, on the other, as listed in Attachment A, as initial points of service.

Date of Action August 31, 2004 Department Action on Application (Tran States and bmi) By: Linda Senese OST-04-17986 - Codesharing Statement of Authorization September 17, 2004 Joint Application for Extension of Interim Statement of Authorization Hereby jointly apply for a 90-day extension of the blanket statement of authorization the Department issued to them on an interim basis pursuant to the Notice of Action Taken dated July 6, 2004 in the above-captioned docket. That statement of authorization is due to expire on October 4, 2004. The Joint Applicants and the foreign carrier partners have been working to conclude formal code-share agreements between and among them. In accordance with the terms of the July 6 NOAT, once each of those agreements is signed, it is submitted to the Department for review, along with a request that the Department issue to the signatory carriers a definitive blanket statement of authorization of indefinite duration. Although that process is ongoing, it has taken longer than United and the Joint Applicants originally anticipated. As a result, the Joint Applicants do not anticipate that all of these code-share agreements will be completed, signed, and submitted to the Department in sufficient time to enable it to issue definitive statements of authorizations with respect to each agreement before the interim statement of authorization expires on October 4, 2004.

This agreement is submitted pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Action Taken, dated July 6, 2004, as extended by the Notice of Action Taken, dated October 4, 2004, in the above-referenced docket. Under the terms of the NOAT, the parties were authorized to begin code sharing on July 6, 2004, subject to submission of this contract and its review by the Department. To the extent necessary, this is to request an indefinite extension of the Statement of Authorization granted by the NOAT once the Department's review has been completed.

These agreements were submitted pursuant to the terms of a Notice of Action Taken dated July 6, 2004 (as extended by Notice of Action Taken dated October 4, 2004), which authorizes Trans States, Mesa, and certain other U.S. carriers to carry the designator codes of certain foreign carriers on services operated as United Express. Attachment A to the NOAT contains an initial list of U.S. city pairs in which such code sharing is authorized. Pursuant to Condition (b) of the NOAT, the carriers subsequently filed a revised list of U.S. city pairs (Joint Application, Sept. 17, 2004, Attachment) and included in the above-referenced September 30 letter a notification for code sharing between Washington, D.C. and Toronto. This letter confirms that, because Trans States/Lufthansa and Mesa/Lufthansa do not presently contemplate code sharing in any city pairs other than those already notified to the Department in this docket, their code-share agreements do not reference any specific city pairs. If, however, Trans States/Lufthansa or Mesa/Lufthansa intend to code share in any city pair not previously notified to the Department, they will furnish such notice no later than 30 days in advance, as required by the Condition (b) of the NOAT.
