OST-2005-22579 - JetBlue Airways - New York-Cancun
|
JetBlue Airways Corporation OST-2005-22579 - Exemption - US-Cancun September 26, 2005 JetBlue Airways Corporation respectfully submits this application for certificate authority authorizing JetBlue to engage in foreign scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41102 to Cancun, Mexico from New York, New York. JetBlue requests that such authority be effective for a period of at least two years or until final certificate authority is granted. The exemption requested herein is for the tranportation of persons, property and mail in combination service between JFK Airport and Cancun, Mexico. JetBlue will operate these routes with Stage 3 compliant airbus A-320 aircraft, the same air craft it presently operates to all its destinations. JetBlue's A-320 aircraft are configured to carry 156 customers. Counsel: Dow Lohnes, Jonathan Hill, 202-776-2000, jhill@dlalaw.com OST-2005-22576 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - US-Cancun September 26, 2005 JetBlue Airways Corporation respectfully submits this application for certificate authority authorizing JetBlue to engage in foreign scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41102 to Cancun, Mexico from New York, New York. The exemption requested herein is for the tranportation of persons, property and mail in combination service between JFK Airport and Cancun, Mexico. JetBlue will operate these routes with Stage 3 compliant airbus A-320 aircraft, the same air craft it presently operates to all its destinations. JetBlue's A-320 aircraft are configured to carry 156 customers. Counsel: Dow Lohnes, Jonathan Hill, 202-776-2000, jhill@dlalaw.com OST-2005-22551 - Exemption - New York-Cancun September 26, 2005 Answer of JetBlue to Application of Delta and Motion to Consolidate JetBlue's application on its face demonstrates the superiority of its proposed service to Cancun over that of Delta's not only through JetBlue's award winning customer service but because of JetBlue's financial and operational strength. JetBlue's service and its proven success over the past five years in both domestic and international service have allowed it to successfully face unprecendented obstacles and requires the selection of JetBlue for this service. Counsel: Dow Lohnes, Jonathan Hill, 202-776-2000, jhill@dlalaw.com
OST-2005-22551 - Delta Air Lines - Exemption - New York-Cancun September 28, 2005 Answer of Continental Airlines Delta and JetBlue have applied for New York-Cancun authority and requested expedited action on their applications. Continental does not object to the Delta and JetBlue requests for New Yor-Cancun authority or JetBlue's request for a carrier-selection proceeding so long as Continental's authority to provide New York-Cancun service remains effective and Continental can continue to serve the route. Counsel: Continental, Thomas Bolling, 713-324-5606, thomas.bolling@coair.com; OST-2005-22576 - JetBlue Airways - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - US-Cancun October 5, 2005 Consolidated Reply of Delta Air Lines Delta Air Lines, Inc. hereby submits this Consolidated Answer to the above-captioned applications of Jet Blue Airways Corporation and USA 3000 Airlines for exemptions and/or certificate authority and designations to serve New York/Newark-Cancun route. Delta has also filed an application with the Department seeking an exemption (and the third U.S. carrier designation) to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between New York and Cancun. Delta opposes the applications of JetBlue and USA 3000 to the extent they are mutually exclusive to Delta's application. Because only one additional U.S. carrier designation will become available for the New York/NewarkCancun route under the U.S.-Mexico agreement reached last month and there are three applicants for authority to provide service on this route, the opportunity is over-subscribed and the Department must conduct a carrier selection proceeding to evaluate the public interest merits of the competing applications. Counsel: Hogan & Hartson, Robert Cohn, 202-637-4999, recohn@hhlaw.com
OST-2005-22576 - JetBlue Airways - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - US-Cancun October 5, 2005 Consolidated Answer of USA 3000 Airlines As the Department is aware, USA 3000 has also filed an application seeking exemption authority as the 3rd U.S. carrier on the New York/Newark city-pair. See: USA 3000 Application of September 30, 2005, Docket OST 2005-22636. USA 3000 opposes the applications of JetBlue and Delta to the extent they are mutually exclusive to the application of USA 3000. Since only one (1) additional U.S. carrier designation will become available for this city-pair under the recently-concluded U.S-Mexico accord, and there are currently three (3) applicants for this single available designation, this valuable opportunity is therefore over-subscribed and a carrier selection proceeding must be conducted by the Department Counsel: Pierre Murphy, 202-776-3980, pmuprhy@lopmurphy.com Delta Air Lines, Inc. / JetBlue Airways Corp. / USA 3000 Airlines / Frontier Airlines, Inc. / Spirit Airlines, Inc. / United Air Lines, Inc. / ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. / America West Airlines, Inc. / Florida West International Airways, Inc. / Centurion Air Cargo, Inc. / Kitty Hawk Air Cargo, Inc OST-2005-22551 - Delta - Exemption - New York-Cancun Served October 20, 2005 Notice Suspending Further Procedures | Word By Notice dated October 5, 2005, we invited interested U.S. carriers to supplement already-filed applications and/or to file new exemption/certificate applications for new U.S.-Mexico combination and all-cargo air transportation services under the September 21, 2005, Memorandum of Consultations between the United States and Mexico. We instructed U.S. carriers to file their submissions within seven business days of the Notice, that is, not later than October 17, 2005. Our stated objective in issuing the October 5 Notice was to be in a position promptly to implement the new rights once they become effective (currently anticipated to occur on October 26, 2005), and to promote an orderly process for doing so. We have received numerous applications and supplements to existing applications for the newly available authority and, accordingly, have now identified the service markets for which carrier selection proceedings will be necessary. Captioned above are those city-pair markets for which we will be instituting carrier selection proceedings. Also captioned above are dockets reflecting limited designation opportunities for all-cargo Mexico City services that will also require carrier selection proceedings. For each of the captioned city-pair markets we are suspending further procedures under 14 CFR part 302 (part 302). Instead, we intend to issue notices shortly, establishing procedures and timetables for the applicants and other interested parties to follow so that we may establish a decisional record for carrier selection as to each of the subject markets. Accordingly, for the city-pair and all-cargo markets captioned, we request that interested parties not file responsive pleadings at this time, but rather that they await the issuance of the aforementioned notices. We hereby suspend as to applications filed for those markets, and until further notice, the procedural requirements of part 302 to the extent consistent with this approach. For all other applications filed in response to our October 5 Notice (i.e., applications seeking authority in markets other than those listed above), the procedures set forth in part 302, including the time limits for filing responsive pleadings, will continue to apply.

We grant the motions to consolidate applications into the relevant proceedings as described in this instituting order, and we consolidate the applications for the four city-pair markets addressed in this instituting order into the four carrier selection cases described herein. We grant the motion of Spirit Airlines, Inc. to withdraw its application for exemption authority to serve the Chicago-Cancun market and hereby dismiss that application. Procedural Timetable:
