Re: Codeshare Notice with Star Alliance Members

Shuttle America hereby notifies the Department that it will display the designator codes of Air Canada, All Nippon Airways, British Midland Airways Limited, Qatar Airways, Q.C.S.C., TACA International Airlines, S.A., and Lineas Aereas Costarricenses S.A. on flights operated by Shuttle America, d/b/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 Shuffle America 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.
