OST-2005-22241 - Exemption - Indianapolis-Cancun

August 25, 2005

Application for an Exemption

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and Subpart C of the Department of Transportation's Procedures and Regulations, Frontier Airlines, Inc. hereby applies for a two-year exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41101 and any other provision of the Department's rules to the extent necessary to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Indianapolis, Indiana (IND) and Cancun, Mexico (CUN) with services beginning in the first quarter of 2006.

Frontier is fit, willing, and able to perform the U.S.-Mexico services proposed herein using Airbus A-319-111 aircraft, with an average seat configuration of 132 seats. Frontier plans initially to operate this service on a three times per week basis during peak season with fewer flights during the remainder of the year. Frontier intends to eventually increase services in peak seasons.

Northwest provided IND‑CUN service on Saturdays between February 18, 2004 through April 30, 2005 and thereafter cancelled the service. Northwest will restore its Saturday service in March of 2006. On December 1, 2004, ATA Airlines, Inc. filed for a renewal of its authority to serve IND‑CUN. The application did not state how and when ATA would serve the market. ATA's application has not been approved. ATA has no current or future service scheduled.

Amended Application for an Exemption

On August 25, 2005, Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and Subpart C of the Department of Transportation's Procedures and Regulations, Frontier Airlines, Inc. applied for a two-year exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41101 and any other provision of the Department's rules to the extent necessary to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Indianapolis, Indiana (IND) and Cancun, Mexico (CUN) with services beginning in the first quarter of 2006. 

Frontier is fit, willing, and able to perform the U.S.-Mexico services proposed herein using Airbus A-319-111 aircraft, with an average seat configuration of 132 seats. Frontier reserves the right to serve this route with other aircraft from its fleet. In addition to promoting this new service to its customers and in all markets, Frontier will also work with tour operators to sell these flights.

October 13, 2005

Second Amended Application for an Exemption

In the application, Frontier noted that its proposed IND-CUN service is fully consistent with the aviation agreement between the United States and Mexico. Northwest Airlines has the authority to serve the IND-CUN market. Frontier also noted in its application that on December 1, 2004, ATA Airlines, Inc. filed for a renewal of its authority to serve IND-CUN. One opportunity to serve IND-CUN is available. On August 29, 2005, counsel for ATA Airlines advised the Department that ATA is no longer serving the IND-CUN route and that it would have no objection to the Department awarding that route to another carrier
