OST-2006-24079 - Statement of Authorization - Blind Sector Codeshare for Air Canada

February 27, 2006

Application for a Statement of Authorization

United requests a statement of authorization under 14 CFR Part 212 to display the "AC" designator code of Air Canada on a blind-sector basis on United's flights between Denver, Colorado and Cancun/Mexico City/Puerto Vallarta/San Jose del Cabo/Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico; between Los Angeles, California and Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and; between San Francisco, California and Puerto Vallarta/San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.

Air Canada proposes to offer services between points in Canada and Cancun/Mexico City/Puerto Vallarta/San Jose del Cabo/Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Air Canada will transport passengers in its own aircraft or in existing code-share flights operated by United between points in Canada and Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco. That traffic will then connect with United's U.S.-Mexico flights. United will display Air Canada's "AC" designator code on the U.S.-Mexico flights, enabling Air Canada to offer online connecting services between Canada and these five Mexican points.

Air Canada's code will be displayed on United's U.S.-Mexico flights only on a blind-sector basis for Air Canada traffic moving between Canada and these points. Air Canada will not sell service under its designator code to local U.S.-Mexico traffic.
