OST-2004-19546 - Exemption - Phoenix-Guadalajara

October 29, 2004

Applications for Exemption and Notice of Freedom Airlines

America West seeks an exemption authorizing it to serve the PHX‑GDL market for at least two years. America West will serve these markets only through its codesharing relationship with Mesa. Pursuant to this relationship, Mesa will conduct the operations and display the "HP" designator code.

Mesa seeks an exemption authorizing it to serve the PHX‑GDL market for at least two years using a CRJ Model 900 (86 or 90‑seat equipment).

Freedom will withdraw from the PHX-GDL market by November 7, 2004, and Mesa, d/b/a America West Express, will operate flights in the PHX-GDL market using CRJ Model 900 (86 or 90-seat) equipment.

The Department previously granted America West authority (effective through February 25, 2005) to provide service in the PHX-GDL market pursuant to its codeshare agreement with Freedom, by placing its airline designator code on combination flights operated by Freedom using large aircraft. See Notice of Action Taken, Docket OST-2003-14394 (February 26, 2003).

Re: Partial Cancellation of Codesharing

On November 4, 2005, the Department authorized US Airways, Inc. to code-share on flights operated by America West Airlines, Inc. and Mesa Airlines, Inc. between various points in the United States and Mexico. (See Erratum, Docket OST-2005-22645). On September 26, 2007, America West and US Airways combined their operations under US Airways' Operating Certificate, and all international air service is now being conducted pursuant to certificate and exemption authority previously granted to US Airways.

Accordingly, US Airways hereby requests that the Department cancel its exemption authority to codeshare on flights previously operated by America West in the markets listed:

US Airways intends to continue to place its code on Mesa-operated flights in these markets, as evidenced by its renewal application. (See Application of US Airways for Renewal of Exemptions, September 6, 2007, Docket OST-2005-22645).

Counsel: US Airways, Howard Kass
