Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Northwest Airlines, Inc. OST-2004-19670 - Statements of Authorization and Exemption - Korea-US Cargo Codeshare November 15, 2004 Joint Application for Statements of Authorization and an Exemption The Joint Applicants request authority to provide reciprocal codeshare services. The granting of such authority will serve the public interest by enabling the two carriers to expand their respective networks, by enhancing competition in the transportation of passengers and cargo between the U.S. and the Republic of Korea, and by affording the carriers greater flexibility to adjust and respond to the demands of the air transportation marketplace. Korean and Northwest request blanket statements of authorization that permit: (a) Korean to display the Northwest NW* code in conjunction with the foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on Korean flights between (1) points in the Republic of Korea, (2) points in the Republic of Korea and points in the United States (either nonstop or via intermediate points in third countries), (3) points in the Republic of Korea and points in third countries, and (4) points in the United States and points in third countries; and (b) Northwest to display the Korean KE* code in conjunction with the foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on Northwest flights between (1) points in the United States, (2) points in the Republic of Korea and points in the United States (either nonstop or via intermediate points in third countries), (3) points in the United States and points in third countries, and (4) points in the Republic of Korea and points in third countries.

November 29, 2004 Re: Codeshare Agreement between Korean Air Lines and Northwest Airlines Enclosed for submission in the referenced docket is a redacted version of (i) the Codeshare Agreement between Northwest Airlines, Inc. and Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and (ii) the Cargo Commercial Cooperation Agreement between Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Northwest Airlines, Inc. Counsel: Zuckert Scoutt, William Callaway, Jr., 202-298-8660, whcallaway@zsrlaw.com
November 30, 2004 If Northwest is seeking the same type of unconditional blanket exemption authority in this docket that it has requested in docket OST-03-15191 and that United has requested in docket OST-04-19148, United does not oppose Northwest's exemption request so long as the Department grants United's application before (or, at the latest, contemporaneously with its approval of) Northwest's application. Such an outcome would only be fair because United's request, which is for similar authority, was filed two months before Northwest's. Northwest cites two cases to support the assertion that its requested exemption "is comparable to the authority that has been granted to other U.S. air carriers." (citing exemptions granted to US Airways and Southern Air to serve Korea and third-country points beyond Korea). That US Airways exemption, which relates to code sharing with United, contains the limitation referenced above in text regarding points in third countries that have not signed an open skies agreement with the United States or for which US Airways does not already hold certificate or exemption authority. Notice of Action Taken dated July 9, 2003 (Docket OST-03-15399). The Southern Air exemption is inapposite (at least with respect to this issue) because, unlike Northwest's instant application (and the US Airways exemption), it does not involve passenger code sharing, but rather authorizes Southern Air to operate all-cargo service using its own aircraft. Notice of Action Taken dated May 28, 2002 (Docket OST-02-12262).

December 3, 2004 A number of U.S. air carriers, including Northwest, have asked the Department to award them comparable blanket exemption authority. Thus far, however, the Department has not granted these requests, denying the U.S. carriers a level regulatory playing field. In the context of this present proceeding, Northwest would like to receive blanket exemption authority comparable to the authority that the Department granted to American. Nevertheless, Northwest does not want the Department to delay at all in granting Northwest and Korean the necessary authority for them to institute the new reciprocal codeshare services described in the Joint Application. Accordingly, Northwest requests that the Department immediately proceed to:
