OST-2005-21156 - 2005 Chicago-San Jose del Cabo Exemption Proceeding
|
2005 Chicago-San Jose del Cabo Exemption Proceeding OST-2005-21156 Issued and Served May 3, 2005 Notice on Procedures and Consolidation of Exemption Applications We intend to issue Chicago‑San Jose del Cabo exemption authority for a two‑year period, subject to a 90‑day startup condition, and subject also to certain dormancy notice requirements routinely imposed on U. S.‑Mexico air transportation services. Except where service in the market is seasonal/intermittent in nature, the dormancy conditions will apply as specified above. In light of the U.S.‑Mexico dormancy conditions, and consistent with our standard policy, we will only grant Chicago‑San Jose del Cabo route authority to an applicant presenting firm service plans. We intend to resolve issues on the basis of the pleadings filed, and to award the immediately-available Chicago-San Jose del Cabo authority by proceeding directly to final order. As the applications filed are already ripe, and all interested parties have had an opportunity to file competing requests, we will not provide for additional applications here. We will give USA 3000 and United an opportunity to file any other pertinent information to support their Chicago-San Jose del Cabo applications. The additional information should be filed no later than five (5) business days from the date of service of this Notice, and should be served on all parties in the captioned docket. By: Paul Gretch
May 10, 2005 Supplemental Information of United Air Lines United has proposed to operate three times as many frequencies and nearly two and one‑half to three times as much capacity than USA 3000. The Department has repeatedly recognized that authorizing a carrier proposing the greatest amount of capacity "better serves the public interest." As the Department stated in its recent decision selecting Ryan International Airlines over USA 3000 for a designation in the Milwaukee‑Cancun market, capacity is a determining factor in selecting a carrier to serve the limited‑entry U.S.‑Mexico market. In that case, the Department chose Ryan based on the carrier's proposal to offer slightly more seats and one more weekly frequency than USA 3000." In this case, United is offering substantially more capacity than USA 3000. Counsel: United and Wilmer Cutler, Jeffrey Manley, 202-663-6670, jeffrey.manley@wilmerhale.com
Order 2005-7-28 Served July 28, 2005 We have decided to select United for the subject authority in this proceeding. The available Chicago‑San Jose del Cabo route right constitutes a valuable economic right obtained in exchange for granting Mexico route opportunities for its airlines to serve the United States, and the public interest calls for the prompt use of this right. If we had an opportunity to do so, we would approve the applications of both carriers to serve the Chicago‑San Jose del Cabo market. However, only one designation opportunity is available at this time. American Airlines currently offers two weekly flights in the Chicago-San Jose del Cabo market. USA 3000 has received approval from the Department to conduct a public charter program in the Chicago-San Jose del Cabo market that appears identical to the services proposed in this proceeding (see Public Charter Number: PC-04-328).
