US Airways, Inc.

OST-04-18851 - Exemption - US-Select European Open Skies Countries

August 5, 2004

Application for an Exemption

US Airways currently operates service with its own aircraft and crews to France, Germany (Frankfurt, Munich), Ireland (Shannon, Dublin), Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom (London, Manchester, Glasgow).

In order to have the flexibility to implement such services with its own aircraft or through code-sharing as conditions warrant, US Airways requests an exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41101 and, to the extent necessary, designations permitting US Airways to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail from a point or points in the United States, on the one hand, via intermediate points or directly, to a point or points in Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic, and Sweden, on the other hand, and beyond. US Airways also applies for route integration authority to combine this exemption authority with US Airways’ other authorities.
