OST-2006-26485 - South African Airways - Johannesburg-Chicago
|
South African Airways (PTY) Limited d/b/a South African Airways OST-2006-26485 - Exemption - Johannesburg-Chicago November 28, 2006 South African Airways (Pty) Limited d/b/a South African Airways hereby applies for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301, in order that SAA may provide scheduled foreign air transportation of passengers, property and mail between Chicago, Illinois and Johannesburg, South Africa. Because SAA would like to commence sale of this service in the near future, SAA is seeking expedited relief on this Application. SM proposes to introduce scheduled service from Johannesburg to Chicago on or before May 1, 2007 using A 340-300 aircraft. SM currently operates daily scheduled service between Johannesburg and New York, and between Johannesburg and Washington, D.C., for a total of 14 weekly frequencies. SM's new service will initially be operated four times per week. The Agreement authorizes carriers of South Africa to operate up to 21 weekly South Africa-US frequencies, which means that sufficient frequencies are available for SM to operate the service it proposes. Counsel: Holland & Knight, Anita Mosner, 202-419-2604, anita.mosner@hklaw.com OST-2006-26485 - Exemption - Johannesburg-Chicago November 30, 2006 By Application dated November 28, 2006, South African Airways applied in this Docket for authority to provide scheduled international service between points in South Africa via intermediate points to Chicago, Illinois. South African Airways has polled all interested parties. No party has objected to shortening the answer date, or to the Application itself. Thus, SAA respectfully requests that the Department promptly grant the authority it requests, so that it can hold our scheduled service between Johannesburg and Chicago via Dakar. SAA presently holds authority to serve Dakar, Senegal as an intermediate point to its authorized US gateways. See Notice of Action Taken dated March 21, 2005 (Docket OST-2002-13366). Counsel: Holland Knight, Anita Mosner, 202-419-2604, anita.mosner@hklaw.com OST-2006-26485 - Exemption - Johannesburg-Chicago Filed November 28, 2006 | Issued December 6, 2006 Exemption from 49 USC § 41301 to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Johannesburg, South Africa, and Chicago, Illinois, via intermediate points. By letter dated November 30, 2006, and filed in this Docket, SAA states that it initially plans to operate its Johannesburg-Chicago service via the authorized intermediate point of Dakar, Senegal. SAA also states that it intends to offer service to points beyond Chicago pursuant to its code-share arrangement with United Air Lines, Inc. See Notice of Action Taken dated October 11, 2006 in Dockets OST-2005-22618 and OST-2005-22619, and Notice of Action Taken dated December 23, 2005, in Dockets OST-2005-22618, OST-2005-26619, OST-1999-6555 and OST-2000-6756. By: Paul Gretch OST-2005-22618 - US-South Africa Codesharing January 4, 2007 Application for Amendment of Exemption On September 29, 2005, South African Airways (Pty) Limited applied in Docket OST-2005-22618 for authority to implement its code-sharing relationship with United Airlines, Inc., and in Dockets OST-1999-6555 and OST-2000-6756 to amend its underlying exemption authorities to permit these cooperative services. By Notice of Action Taken dated December 23, 2005, the Department approved these requests, including granting SAA authority to hold out service to 25 points in the United States beyond its US gateways pursuant to its code-share arrangement with United. In the December 2005 NOAT, the Department granted SAA's request to code-share on United flights to authorized points beyond SAA's US gateways. In a footnote in that NOAT, the Department expressly recognized that certain of the "beyond" points at issue might be serve either by United itself or by a United Express commuter carrier. SAA believes that the authority it holds contemplates SAA's holding out service to points in the United States by code-sharing on services operated by United or a United Express commuter carrier. However, out of an abundance of caution, and to the extent necessary, SAA hereby requests that the Department amend its exemption authorities to expressly authorize SAA to hold out service to points in the United States pursuant to a codeshare arrangement with United or any current or future United Express carrier. Approval of this authority would be entirely consistent with the public interest. By granting SAA the flexibility to hold out service to its authorized points in conjunction with either United or any current or future "United Express" commuter carrier, the Department will eliminate the need to grant successive approvals necessitated by changes in the service patterns offered by United and/or its commuter partners. Accordingly, this Application should be granted without delay. Counsel: Holland & Knight, Anita Mosner, 202-419-2604, anita.mosner@hklaw.com OST-2005-22618 - US-South Africa Codesharing January 10, 2007 On behalf of South African Airways (Pty) Limited, I have polled the representatives of all carriers on the service list attached to the Application of SAA filed January 4, 2007, in the above-referenced dockets. All carriers' representatives have advised me that they have no objection to the granting of this application. Counsel: Wilmer Hale, Caryn Garvin, 202-663-800 OST-2007-26817 - Statements of Authorization - Codesharing with South African Airways Filed January 4, 2007 | Issued January 30, 2007 Amendment: Scheduled service to 25 named U.S. points beyond SAA’s U.S. gateways on a code-share basis in conjnnction with any current or future United Express carrier.
Blanket Statements of Authorization: Display SAA’s “SA“” designator code on flights operated by any of the Joint Applicants as a United Express carrier between SAA’s coterminal U.S. gateways, as well as between each of those U.S. gateways, on the one hand, and points in the United States, on the other hand, and beyond to points in third countries without local traffic right.
