Application for an Exemption

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and Subpart C of the Department’s Rules of Practice (14 C.F.R. Part 302), US Airways, Inc. hereby applies for an exemption and, to the extent necessary, designations in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between (i) Chicago, Illinois, and Cozumel, Mexico, (ii) Washington, D.C., and Cancun, Mexico, and (iii) Denver, Colorado, and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, pursuant to its code-share agreement with United Air Lines. To the extent warranted, US Airways also seeks integration authority to combine this exemption authority with US Airways’ other authorities. US Airways requests expedited processing of this application so that it can begin marketing the code-share services proposed herein as soon as possible.

US Airways' proposed code‑share service with United will further enhance its growing presence in the region by offering additional competition in the Chicago‑Cozumel, Denver‑San Jose del Cabo, and Washington, D.C.‑Cancun markets.
