|
Air One S.p.A OST-2005-22809 - Exemption - US-Italy Codeshare with US Airways October 20, 2005 Application for Exemption and Statement of Authorization - Bookmarked Air One and US Airways entered into a Codeshare Agreement on September 1, 2005. Under the terms of this agreement, each party may put its designator code on the other party's flights; thus, Air One may sell seats for travel to or from the United States under its own name. However, at this time the parties contemplate only that Air One's flights within Italy will carry US Airways' code; US Airways flights will not carry the Air One code, nor will Air One will not operate its aircraft to or from any United States point. Air One is the leading Italian private airline company, and is the second largest airline in Italy. The Rome-based carrier operates over 1400 scheduled and charter passenger flights per week with a fleet of 30 Boeing 737s. The Air One network covers 25 cities in Italy, including the country's main economic and industrial areas. The company served over 5,730,000 passengers in 2004. Air One currently has in place codeshare agreements with a number of other foreign carriers, including Lufthansa and Air Canada. Air One is duly licensed by the Italian aviation authorities and has an excellent safety record. The codeshare activities contemplated are authorized by the bilateral aviation treaty between the United States and Italy. Approval of this application would be consistent with established Department of Transportation policies and past practices. Counsel: Sher & Blackwell, Mark Atwood

By letters dated January 3 and February 6, 2008, the applicants stated, among other things, that they were not, at this time, requesting authority to carry the United designator code on transatlantic flights that may be operated by Air One.

We will handle these requests separately By: Paul Gretch
OST-2005-22809 - Exemption - US-Italy Codeshare May 2, 2008 Hereby seeks to amend the exemption authority and Statement of Authorization granted to it in the above-captioned dockets in order to expand its scheduled foreign and domestic air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to a codeshare agreement with United Airlines, by allowing the placement of United's designator code on Air One's transatlantic flights and amending Air One's exemption authority to allow Air One to place its AP designator code on United flights between Brussels and Washington D.C.. Air One also hereby provides notice of additional markets that Air One and United intend to serve under previously granted Department authority. Air One hereby seeks to amend its current exemption authority, granted in Docket OST-2005-22809 to allow it to codeshare with United on flights operated by United between Brussels, Belgium and Washington D.C., (and United's connecting U.S. and international flights). Air One further seeks to amend the Statement of Authorization granted in Docket OST-2008-0001 to allow it to display United's UA* designator code on flights operated by Air One between any point in Italy and any point in the United States. Air One and United also intend to serve additional markets under their previously‑granted codeshare authority. Attachment A contains (i) additional city pairs to be served under previously granted authority, and (ii) city pairs to be served under the additional authority requested herein. Should the Department have concerns about granting a statement of authorization that surpasses Air One's current exemption authority to operate Milan-Boston and Milan-Chicago, Air One asks in the alternative to amend the Statement of Authorization granted in Docket OST-2008-0001 to allow it to display United's UA designator code on flights operated by Air One between Milan and Chicago and between Milan and Boston, and to defer the remainder of this request until Air One's Foreign Air Carrier Permit for open E.U. -U.S. foreign air transportation has been granted. On February 25, 2008, Air One filed in Docket OST-2008-0073 an application for exemption authority' to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail, using its own aircraft, (i) between Milan, Italy (Malpensa Airport) and Boston, Massachusetts; and (ii) between Milan, Italy (Malpensa Airport) and Chicago, Illinois. This application was granted by Notice of Action Taken dated March 17, 2008. Counsel: Sher & Blackwell, Mark Atwood |
