January 10, 2006

Application for a Statement of Authorization - Bookmarked

SkyWest Airlines hereby applies for a statement of authorization pursuant to Part 212 of the Department's regulations to facilitate codeshare services offered by British Midland Airways Limited d/b/a bmi, which is a member of the Star Alliance and codeshare partner of United Air Lines, on United Express flights. SkyWest Airlines requests authorization to display bmi's two-letter designator code on flights operated by SkyWest Airlines as United Express and to and from the cities in the market list attached hereto as Exhibit A. SkyWest Airlines hereby notifies the Department that it will codeshare with bmi to the cities listed on Exhibit A beginning on or about January 1, 2006. SkyWest Airlines respectfully requests prompt approval of this application so that the marketing and sale of codeshare services by United and bmi can begin without delay. SkyWest Airlines requests that any statement of authorization approved by the Department be granted for an indefinite period.

Counsel: SkyWest, Todd Emerson, 435-634-3530



Filed January 10, 2006 | Approved March 9, 2006

Department Action on Application

The statement of authorization will remain in effect only as long as (i) Skywest and bmi continue to hold the necessary underlying authority to operate the code-share services at issue, and (ii) the code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations remains in effect.

The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that neither Skywest nor bmi shall give any force or effect to any contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these conditions.

Re: Codeshare Notice with Star Alliance Members

SkyWest hereby notifies the Department that it will display the designator codes of Air Canada, Asiana Airlines, British Midland Airways Limited, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Qatar Airways, Q.C.S.C., TACA International Airlines, S.A., and Lineas Aereas Costarricenses S.A. on flights operated by SkyWest, dlb/a United Express, between and among the cities listed in Exhibit A hereto. Since these markets may be served interchangeably by United and United Express services, a similar notice is being filed on this date for United in the appropriate dockets. This notice will enable United and United Express carriers such as SkyWest to operate code-share services interchangeably to the points listed without the need to file repetitive notices as services shift from one carrier to another. The proposed code-share services are fully consistent with the applicable bilateral air transport agreements.

See, Department Action on Application of SkyWest/Air Canada, Docket OST-2004-17955, dated June 16, 2004; Department Action on Application of SkyWest/Asiana, Docket OST-2003-15204, dated June 5, 2003; Department Action on Application of SkyWest/British Midland, Docket OST-2006-23627, dated March 9, 2006; Department Action on Application of SkyWest/Lufthansa, Docket OST-2003-16724, dated January 6, 2004; Department Action on Application of SkyWest/Qatar, Docket OST-2007-29161, dated October 4, 2007; and Department Action on SkyWest/TACA International Airlines, S.A., and Lineas Aereas Costarricenses S.A., Docket OST-2007-28788, dated August 8, 2007.

Re: Receipt of 30-Day Notices

We are in receipt of five 30-Day Notices from United each dated January 17, 2008, notifying the Department of the carrier's proposed expanded code-share services involving (1) United and various foreign carriers; (2) United's affiliate, Mesa Airlines, Inc., and various foreign carriers; (3) United's affiliate, GoJet Airlines, LLC, and various foreign carriers; (4) United's affiliate, Shuttle America Corporation, and various foreign carriers; and (5) United's affiliate, Sky West Airlines, Inc., and various foreign carriers.

We have reviewed the services proposed and have no objection to the Notices. In this regard, however, we note that no services that become newly available under the first phase U.S.-EU Air Transport Agreement can be implemented before March 30, 2008.
