America West Airlines, Inc. and Royal Jordanian Airlines Order 05-01-23 Issued and Served January 27, 2005 Order Granting Approval and Antitrust Immunity for a Comercial Cooperation Agreement | Word By this Order, we grant final approval of and antitrust immunity for a Commercial Cooperation Agreement between America West Airlines, Inc. and Royal Jordanian Airlines under 49 U.S.C. §§ 41308 and 41309. The Department’s action is subject to conditions, as explained further in this Order. The U.S.-Jordan market is an important part of the U.S‑Middle East market. The U.S.‑Jordan open skies agreement eliminated barriers to new entry, expansion, and competition created by government regulation. It was the thirteenth open skies agreement signed and the first open skies agreement with a Middle Eastern country. The agreement creates unrestricted competitive opportunities for all U.S. and Jordanian airlines, including the flexibility to operate their own direct services, or joint services with another airline. The agreement recognizes the value of airline networks and provides opportunities for competing airlines and alliances.
