Notice of Action Taken | Word

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between (1) the terminal points Boston, Massachusetts; Charlotte, North Carolina; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the one hand, and the terminal point Cancun, Mexico, on the other hand; (2) the terminal points Charlotte, North Carolina and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the one hand, and the terminal point Cozumel, Mexico, on the other hand and (3) the terminal point Charlotte, North Carolina, and the terminal point Mexico City, Mexico.  America West also requests authority to combine this exemption authority with all of American West’s existing certificate and exemption authority, consistent with applicable international agreements.

America West states that it requests this authority in order to expand services under a code-share arrangement with US Airways, Inc., whereby America West will place its “HP” code on flights operated by US Airways in the respective city-pair markets.

America West states that on September 27, 2005, America West Holdings Corporation merged with US Airways Group, Inc.  As a result, America West became a subsidiary of US Airways Group.  Although selling tickets, advertising, and marketing itself under the “US Airways” brand name, America West will continue to operate under its own certificate of public convenience and necessity and authorities until America West and US Airways are integrated under a single certificate.

Re: Partial Cancellation of Codesharing

On November 4, 2005, the Department authorized US Airways, Inc. to code-share on flights operated by America West Airlines, Inc. and Mesa Airlines, Inc. between various points in the United States and Mexico. (See Erratum, Docket OST-2005-22645). On September 26, 2007, America West and US Airways combined their operations under US Airways' Operating Certificate, and all international air service is now being conducted pursuant to certificate and exemption authority previously granted to US Airways.

Accordingly, US Airways hereby requests that the Department cancel its exemption authority to codeshare on flights previously operated by America West in the markets listed:

US Airways intends to continue to place its code on Mesa-operated flights in these markets, as evidenced by its renewal application. (See Application of US Airways for Renewal of Exemptions, September 6, 2007, Docket OST-2005-22645).

Counsel: US Airways, Howard Kass
