OST-2005-21162 - Exemption - Denver-Cozumel, Mexico

May 18, 2005

Answer of Frontier Airlines

On April 18, 2005, Frontier Airlines filed an application with the Department of Transportation seeking an exemption and a U.S.-Mexico designation to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Salt Lake City and Puerto Vallarta. (Docket No. OST-2005-21033). Since there are two available designations and two interested applicants, Frontier does not object to United's application, provided that Frontier's application is approved as soon as possible.

Frontier does note, however, that United, which is attempting to emerge from bankruptcy, applied to serve this market only after another carrier offering fares and services that are desired by the public originally applied for authority to serve the market.

Motion for a Dormancy Waiver

United Air Lines, Inc. hereby requests a waiver of the dormancy condition applicable to United's exemption authorizing it to provide scheduled combination service of persons, property and mail between Denver, Colorado and Cozumel, Mexico, so that the 90-day dormancy period will begin on October 31, 2006.

Due to the devastation of Cozumel caused by Hurricane Wilma, United has determined that it is not feasible to start new service in this market until next year. The requested waiver will enable United to promptly implement the new service when conditions warrant.
