Re: Amended US and Canada Codesharing Lists

United hereby amends the list of U.S. and Canada code-share markets in which it may display TAP's "TP" designator code. Attached hereto is a copy of Attachment A, which was previously filed by United Express carriers in their joint application for code-share authority with TAP. See, OST-2008-0069. Since these markets may be served interchangeably by United and United Express services, this notice will enable United and United Express carriers to operate code-share services interchangeably to the points listed without the need to file repetitive notices as services shift from one carrier to another. United and TAP plan to implement these services on or after July 18, 2008.
