|
Kitty Hawk Aircargo, Inc. OST-2005-22751 - Exemption - US-Mexico Scheduled Cargo Service October 17, 2005 Kitty Hawk proposes to operate all-cargo flights between its Fort Wayne, Indiana hub, on the one hand, and Mexico Pity (Benito Juarez International Airport) Guadalajara and Monterrey, Mexico, on the other hand. Kitty hawk plans to operate these services five times per week on a year-round basis. Kitty hawk intends to commence service to Mexico City, Coadelajara and Honterrey on or about February 1, 2006 (or within 90 days alter Kitty Hawk receives authoriry from the Department and all other required approvals, whichever is later) with B-727 aircraft. Kitty Hawk's B727 aircraft have a payload capacity of approximately 50,000 pounds. Kitty hawk already possesses the B-727 aircraft to be used for its proposed Mexico services and will not have to reduce or terminate any of its other services to support its new flights operating to Mexico. Kitty Hawk requests this authority be effective for a minimum two-year period. Counsel: Silverberg Goldman, Robert Silverberg, 202-944-3300 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.

Kitty Hawk Aircargo - Scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between Ft.

By: Paul Gretch OST-2005-22751 - US-Mexico Scheduled Cargo Service April 5, 2006 Application for Waiver of Dormancy Condition Singed by the Governments of the United States and Mexico on December 12, 2005. Under the amended bilateral, restrictions remain on scheduled all-cargo service to Mexico City and Guadalajara that prevented the Department from approving Kitty Hawk's request to serve the Ft. Wayne-Mexico City market as well as certain portions of the requests of Florida West International Airways, Inc. and Centurion Air Cargo, Inc. to serve Mexico City and Guadalajara. Authority to serve Mexico City is an important component of the service Kitty Hawk intends to provide between its Ft. Wayne hub and Mexico. Without grant of this authority, Kitty Hawk will be required to reevaluate whether it could profitably serve Guadalajara and Monterrey absent the authority to serve Mexico City. Thus, Kitty Hawk is not currently in a position to initiate service in the Ft. Wayne and Guadalajara /Monterrey markets without knowing whether or not it will also be granted authority to serve Mexico City. Counsel: Silverberg Goldman, Robert Silverberg OST-2005-22751 - US-Mexico Scheduled Cargo Service Filed April 5, 2006 | Approved May 1, 2006 Department Action on Application We waive the dormancy conditions on the subject authority until further notice. By: Esta Rosenberg OST-2005-22751 - Kitty Hawk - Exemption - US-Mexico Scheduled Cargo Service May 23, 2006 Motion of Kitty Hawk Aircargo for Leave to Withdraw Application While Kitty Hawk applied for the Mexico City authority last October believing that scheduled service to Mexico would be a significant revenue opportunity for the carrier, the passage of time since the initial application filing and subsequent events have caused Kitty Hawk to now determine that it must focus its efforts away from Mexico City and toward the completion of a recent transaction acquiring a substantial less-than-truckload ground network serving a seven state area. This transaction, just announced on May 10, 2006, has required management to devote a significant amount of time and resources to integrate the trucking operation into the existing Kitty Hawk ground network. Given the limitations on management time and the capital resources of the company, it is with regret that Kitty Hawk seeks leave to the extent necessary to withdraw its application for exemption authority to serve Mexico City now consolidated in Docket OST-2006-24671. The Department has granted Kitty Hawk exemption authority to service the Ft. Wayne-Guadalajara and Ft. Wayne-Monterrey markets (OST-2005-22751), including corresponding route integration authority. On May 1, 2006, the Department granted the application of Kitty Hawk for waiver of the dormancy condition imposed on this exemption authority until further notice. Kitty Hawk stated in its dormancy waiver application that its service to Guadalajara and Monterrey is liked with it providing service to Mexico City. Kitty Hawk is now in the process of evaluating its use for the Ft. Wayne-Guadalajara/Monterrey exemption authority without also providing service to Mexico City and will advise the Department as soon as it makes a determination.
