OST-2004-19673 - Exemption - Philadelphia-Puerto Vallarta; Cleveland-Puerto Vallarta; Hartford-Cancun

November 15, 2004

Application for an Exemption

  • Philadelphia, PA - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

  • St. Louis, MO - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
  • Richmond, VA - Cancun, Mexico

  • Buffalo, NY - Cancun, Mexico

USA 3000 would propose to initially operate this route on a seasonal basis. USA 3000 plans to begin service to Mexico on these routes on or about December 21, 2004, or as soon thereafter as all necessary Mexican licenses have been obtained. USA 3000 intends to operate these services with its growing fleet of new, state-of-the-art, Airbus A-320 aircraft.

Answer of State of Maryland in Support of Application

Maryland submits that USA 3000 Airlines' application is consistent with the public interest and should be granted for the following reasons. First, the service would benefit passengers and shippers, as well as the Baltimore community and the entire Washington/Baltimore region. The service would also benefit passengers connecting at BWI on flights to other U.S. cities. Second, this new service would create additional opportunities for expanded tourism, international trade, and business for Maryland.

Third, approval of USA 3000 Airlines' application would be consistent with the U.S.‑Mexico bilateral aviation agreement. Under the bilateral, "Washington/Baltimore" is treated as one "city" for purposes of the two designations allowed for each "city pair" market. For example, then, the U.S. and Mexico may designate up to two airlines each to operate scheduled combination services between Washington or Baltimore and Puerto Vallarta. Maryland strongly supports USA 3000 Airlines' proposed service in this "city pair" market.
