Frontier Airlines, Inc.

OST-2006-25993 - Certificate and Exemption - San Jose/Sacramento-San Jose del Cabo

October 2, 2006

Application for Exemption and Certificate Authority

Frontier applies for a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to conduct scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between San Jose, California and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico and between Sacramento, California and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.

Frontier proposes using Airbus A-319-111 aircraft with an average seat configuration of 132 seats. Frontier reserves the right to serve this route with other aircraft from its fleet. In addition to promoting this new service to its customers and in all markets, Frontier will also work with tour operators to sell these flights.

Frontier plans to commence service to SJC-SJD and SMF-SJD in March 2007. The SJC-SJD service will operate on a four day per week basis (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat) in the peak season, effective March 1, 2007, while the SMF-SJD service will operate on a three day per week schedule (Tue/Thu/Sat) in the peak season, effective March 1, 2007. Both markets will operate on a one day per week basis during the remainder of the year.

Answer of Sacramento County Airport System in Support of Exemption and Certificate Application

On October 2, 2006, Frontier Airlines filed an application for exemption and certificate authority to operate nonstop service from Sacramento International Airport to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. The Sacramento County Airport System enthusiastically supports this application.

Sacramento International Airport constantly pursues opportunities to increase its international service. This additional service will benefit the traveling public by bringing lower fares to a route that was first inaugurated in June of 2004 and is still served by a single carrier. International traffic has increased dramatically in the last four years and has led the Customs and Border Protection to create a fully funded Port of Sacramento effective October 5, 2006.

Frontier Airlines would provide much needed competition in the San Jose del Cabo market and we respectfully urge the Department to move expeditiously to grant Frontier the requested authority so that marketing and promoting of the service can begin as soon as possible.

Answer of The City of San Jose and The San Jose International Airport in Support of Exemption and Certificate Application - Bookmarked

Like most U.S. cities, San Jose is constantly pursuing opportunities to increase its international services. The City has worked closely with Frontier to demonstrate the strength and viability of its aviation market for international travel in general and for travel to Mexico, in particular. Frontier's proposed nonstop service between San Jose and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, is a response to the City's committed marketing efforts. The proposed service will further enhance the breadth of the Airport's international service offerings. It will provide the only nonstop service to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, from San Jose. Indeed, it will constitute San Jose's only nonstop service to any of the Mexico beach resort communities and its only U.S.-flag carrier service to Mexico. In addition, it will provide inter-gateway competition to the San Jose del Cabo services offered by United Air Lines and Alaska Airlines at San Francisco International Airport.

Filed October 2, 2006 | Issued November 7, 2006

Notice of Action Taken

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail to serve between (1) San Jose, California, and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico; and (2) Sacramento, California, and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, and to combine this authority with Frontier's existing certificate and exemption authority, consistent with applicable international agreements. Frontier states that it will provide service on the routes on a year-round basis, offering a combination of peak and off-peak services.

Frontier also requests certificate authority for the subject routes. We will handle that request subsequently.

The carrier's request for route integration authority is superseded by Order 2006-1-1, where the Department awarded the carrier a blanket route integration certificate.
