Order 2005-2-6 - US-Ecuador All-Cargo Frequencies - Order to Show Cause


US-Ecuador All-Cargo Frequencies

Order 2005-2-6
OST-2002-12503

Issued and Served February 8, 2005

Order to Show Cause

We have tentatively decided to select Amerijet and allocate it two weekly frequencies for all‑cargo services in the U.S.‑Ecuador market. In addition, we have tentatively decided to award backup authority to Arrow.

Both Arrow and Amerijet would use both available frequencies, and both carriers would serve from Miami, the largest U.S. gateway to Ecuador. The record shows, however, that Amerijet's use of the two frequencies would provide service to a greater number of points in Ecuador than would Arrow. Amerijet would serve three points in Ecuador (Quito, Guayaquil, and Manta) compared to one point (Guayaquil) for Arrow. In addition, the record shows that Amerijet would be a new-entrant carrier in the U.S.-Ecuador market. Thus, allocating the two frequencies to Amerijet would add a new choice of air carrier for the benefit of the shipping public. Based on these tentative findings, we have tentatively concluded that Amerijet's proposal would offer the greatest public benefits in this case.
