OST-2005-20122 - Continental - Blanket Codeshare with Air France, COPA, and KLM January 14, 2005 Applies for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41101 which will allow Continental to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to codeshare agreements with Air France, COPA and KLM between points in the United States and foreign points, subject only to standard codeshare notification requirements. Continental also asks the Department for authority to combine this authority with Continental's other certificate and exemption authority. Continental asks that this authority be awarded immediately so Continental and its codeshare partners will be free of requirements that no longer apply to competing codeshare partnerships. Counsel: Crowell & Moring, Bruce Keiner, Jr., 202-624-2615
OST-2005-20122 - Continental - Blanket Codeshare with Air France, COPA, and KLM January 26, 2005 Consolidated Answer of United Air Lines In Docket OST-04-19148, United has requested an amendment to its current code-share-related exemption authority that would enable it to introduce new services with multiple blanket code-share partners to and from points in third countries for which United does not already hold certificate or exemption authority. This would allow United to expand its service offerings to the public without the burden of having to apply for a separate exemption on each occasion when it wants to code-share with these blanket code-share partners, consistent with applicable air service agreements, in situations where it lacks underlying route authority. United agrees with Continental and Delta that the Department should consistently apply its code-share policy to all blanket code-share partnerships. As United has pointed out in Docket OST-2004-19148, the Department has recognized that due process requires it to extend "'similar treatment to similarly situated applicants" (Application of United, at 6, quoting Order 96-7-21, at 14) and accordingly United has no objection to the Department contemporaneously granting other pending applications from "similarly situated" U.S. carriers seeking similarly broad code-share-related exemption authority so long as the Department also approves United's pending application for similar authority.

March 16, 2006 Notice of Additional Codeshare This is to notify the Department, pursuant to condition (h) of Statement of Authorization 98-65, that Continental and COPA intend to begin codeshare service on the following route segment 30 days from the date of this notice or immediately upon receipt of any necessary foreign approvals later than 30 days from the date of this notice:
Counsel: Crowell & Moring, Bruce Keiner, 202-624-2615, rbkeiner@crowell.com
December 29, 2006 Application for Renewal of an Exemption Renewing the requested blanket exemption for Continental will serve the public interest since it will give Continental broad flexibility to continue providing services that will enhance international competition, increase the service options available for passengers and shippers between the U.S. and foreign points, eliminate the burden on carrier and Department staffs of requiring specific certificate or exemption authority for each codeshare point added, and allow Continental to benefit fully from the rights available to U.S. airlines under the relevant bilateral air transport agreements. Continental and Air France hold authority to place Continental's CO code on flights operated by Brit Air, City Jet and Regional (see Department Action of November 12, 2004, in Docket OST-2004-19115), and Continental asks that its renewed exemption be broad enough to permit codeshare service on those carriers' flights. Continental also offers codeshare service on flights operated by KLM regional codeshare partner KLM CityHopper (See Notices of Action Taken, Docket OST-2001-10880, November 7, 2003 and Docket OST-2002-11945, April 17, 2002) and asks that its exemption continue to be broad enough to cover codeshare service on flights operated by KLM CityHopper as well as by KLM. Counsel: Continental and Crowell & Moring, Bruce Keiner, 202-624-2615
OST-2002-11945 - Continental and Air Exel - Statement of Authorization - US-Netherlands Codeshare March 5, 2007 Withdrawal of Renewal Application and Will Not Seek Codesharing Renewal Air Exel is no longer operating, and the services it provided previously are now being provided by KLM Cityhopper. Consequently, the parties withdraw the March 18, 2004, application for renewal of Air Exel's exemption authority permitting it to codeshare with Continental and urge the Department to dismiss it. For the same reason, Continental has not sought renewal of its exemption authority for codesharing with Air Exel in Docket OST-2005-20122. Counsel: KLM, Paul Mifsud, 202-861-5867, pmifsudklm@aol.com for KLM / Crowell & Moring, Bruce Keiner, 202-624-2500, rbkeiner@cromor.com
Filed December 29, 2006 | Issued March 9, 2007 Renewal of scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between points in the United States and points worldwide on a third-country code-share basis pursuant to blanket code-sharing statements of authorization previously approved by the Department. The authorized foreign carriers are: Societe Air France, and the regional carriers Brit Air, City Jet Limited, and Regional; Compania Panamena de Aviçicion, S.A.; and Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, and its regional carrier KLM CityHopper. We note here that originally the authority granted to Continental in the present docket included authority to provide code-share services with KLM's regional code-share partner, Air Exel (see Notice of Action Taken dated March 1, 2005). However, by letter dated March 5, 2007, Continental advises the Department that Air Exel is no longer operating and, thus, Continental does not seek renewal of its exemption authority for code-share services with Air Exel. See Notices of Action Taken dated November 12, 2004 (Docket OST-2004-19115, Continental-Air France/Brit Air/City Jet/Regional); July 9, 1998 (98-65 undocketed, Continental-COPA); and November 29, 2001 (Docket OST-2001-10880, Continental-KLM and KLM CityHopper). Continental will need to have conducted code-share safety audits of its foreign partners prior to receipt of authority for such code-share services. By: Paul Gretch

September 5, 2008 This is to notify the Department, pursuant to condition (b) of Statement of Authorization 98-65, that Continental and COPA intend to begin codeshare service on the following route segments no earlier than 30 days from the date of this notice:
COPA is already operating Panama City-Port of Spain service, and it will institute Panama City-Santa Cruz and Panama City-Aruba service in December. Continental holds authority to place its designator code on flights operated by COPA in foreign air transportation "between points in the United States and points worldwide." (See Statement of Authorization No. 98-65, July 9, 1998 and Notice of Action Taken, Docket OST-2005-20122, March 1, 2005) COPA holds authority to offer the proposed service. (See Order 1998-3-16 and renewal application pending in Docket OST-1997-2675). Counsel: Crowell & Moring, Bruce Keiner, 202-624-2615
January 8, 2009 Application for Renewal of an Exemption Applies pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and Rule 302 of the Department's Rules of Practice for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41101 which allows Continental to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to codeshare agreements with Air France, COPA and KLM between points in the United States and foreign points. Continental and Air France hold authority to place Continental's CO code on flights operated by Brit Air, City Jet and Regional (s Department Action of November 12, 2004, in Docket OST-04-19115), and Continental asks that its renewed exemption remain broad enough to permit codeshare service on those carriers' flights. Continental also offers codeshare service on flights operated by KLM regional codeshare partner KLM CityHopper (See Notices of Action Taken, Docket OST-01-10880, November 7, 2003 and Docket OST-02-11945, April 17, 2002) and asks that its renewal exemption continue to be broad enough to cover codeshare service on flights operated by KLM CityHopper as well as by KLM.

For the sake of administrative convenience and efficiency, Continental suggests that the Department grant the blanket codeshare exemption authority requested here by amending Continental's worldwide blanket exemption authority for codesharing with Air France, COPA and KLM in Docket OST-2005-20122, which expires on March 5, 2011 (see Notice of Action Taken on March 5, 2009), to add Air Canada and Jazz, subject to the current March 5, 2011 expiration date, rather than by issuing a separate exemption in a different docket with a different expiration date. Granting the requested exemption authority by amending Continental's authority in Docket OST-2005-20122 with a common expiration date will conserve administrative resources by reducing the Department's burden and eliminating the need to review multiple renewal requests on multiple dates.

Continental also applies for amendment of its blanket exemption from 49 USC § 41101 authorizing Continental to provide codeshare services at points served by Asiana which are neither in open-skies countries nor listed in Continental's certificate or exemption authority upon 30 days' notification to the Department, just as Continental has been allowed to do with other codeshare partners. Continental and Asiana request that the codeshare statements of authorization be granted for an indefinite period, and Continental requests that its exemption authority be granted through March 5, 2011, to coincide with the expiration date of its existing blanket codeshare exemption authority. Continental and Asiana plan to institute codesharing service on or about December 1, 2009, at open skies points and on the non-open skies routes listed in Appendix A. Continental and Asiana will notify the Department no later than 30 days before commencing any additional codeshare services to other non-open skies points not specified in their certificate, permit or exemption authority, and they accept the Department's standard conditions on limitedentry third-country codeshare services.

OST-2010-0020 - Statements of Authorization - US-EU and US-Norway Codesharing Applications for Statements of Authorization and Exemption The Applicants request authority to provide valuable U.S.-Denmark/Norway/Sweden and third country codeshare services which will serve the public interest. Continental and SAS codeshare service will expand airline competition on international routes to benefit passengers and shippers and expand the Continental and SAS networks. Continental and SAS seek statements of authorization permitting Continental to display the SK* code on Continental flights and permitting SAS to display the CO* code on SAS flights in conjunction with foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail: (i) between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in a Member State of the European Union or Norway (on a nonstop basis and on routings via intermediate open skies points); (ii) between any point or points in the United States and any other point or points in the European Common Aviation Area and Switzerland where an open skies agreement is being applied; (iii) between U.S. points; (iv) between EU points; (v) between points in Norway; (vi) between points in the EU and points in Norway; (vii) between the EU or Norway, and any open-skies point or points; and, (viii) beyond the EU or Norway to any point or points; and (xi) beyond the U.S. to any point or points. Continental requires supplemental exemption authority to implement the proposed codeshare agreement and maximize its flexibility to provide global, codeshare service by placing its code on SAS flights serving points for which Continental does not otherwise hold authority. Thus, Continental requests exemption authority to provide codeshare service at points served by SAS which are neither in open skies countries nor listed in Continental's certificate or exemption authority upon 30 days' notification to the Department, as Continental has been allowed to do with other carriers.

Specifically, the European Carriers seek statements of authorization permitting them to display the CO* designator code of Continental on flights operated (i) between European Union points; (ii) between points in Norway; (iii) between points in the EU and points in Norway; (iv) between points in the EU and points in Norway and points in the European Common Aviation Area where an open skies agreement is being applied; (v) between the EU or Norway, and any open skies point or points; and (vi) beyond the EU or Norway to any point or points. In addition, the European Carriers request underlying parallel exemption authority authorizing them to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail in support of their codeshare operations with Continental. Similar blanket codeshare and exemption authority has been granted to numerous codeshare partnerships involving US and foreign airlines, including between Continental and SAS. See, eg., Notice of Action Taken dated March 11, 2010 (ContinentaI/SAS) in Dockets OST-2005-20122 and OST-2010-0020; Department Action, Docket OST-1999-5251, May 24, 1999 (United/SAS); Department Action, Docket OST-2002-11459, April 26, 2002 (Delta/China Airlines).
