OST-2008-0106 - Avianca - Bogota-Dulles
|
OST-2008-0106 - Exemption - Bogota-Dulles March 14, 2008 Avianca S.A. hereby requests an exemption from U.S.C. § 41301 and such other relief as may be necessary to permit it to engage in foreign scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail between Bogota, Colombia, on the one hand, and Washington, D.C., on the other. Avianca requests that this exemption authority be granted for a period of at least one year. Avianca intends to begin service on June 12, 2008, and therefore respectfully requests prompt approval of this application so that it may begin marketing these services immediately. Avianca plans to commence daily nonstop Bogota-Dulles service on June 12, 2008 using A319 equipment. The Department most recently reviewed Avianca's fitness when it granted it exemption authority on August 15, 2003 in Docket OST-2003-15898 (Bogota-Ft. Lauderdale). Counsel: Zuckert Scoutt, Richard Mathias, 202-973-7917, rdmathias@zsrlaw.com
March 20, 2008 This is to advise that Avianca S.A. has completed polling of carrier representatives as to their position on the above-referenced application, filed on March 14, 2008. No objections were received. Accordingly, Avianca urges that the requested authority be granted as soon as possible. Counsel: Zuckert Scoutt, Richard Mathias, 202-973-7917, rdmathias@zsrlaw.com
March 24, 2008 Answer of Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority | Word The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, proprietor of Washington Dulles International Airport, hereby answers in strong support of the application of Avianca S.A. for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. sec. 41301 and such other relief as may be needed to permit Avianca to inaugurate important new air service between Bogota, Colombia and Washington, D.C. by June 12, 2008. Linking the nation’s capital to this key South American market is clearly in the public interest, and fully consistent with the letter and spirit of the recent steps toward liberalization of air service between the U.S. and Colombia. Despite the current limitations on air service between the two countries, ties between them are strong and important both economically and geopolitically for both countries. Counsel: MWAA, Edward Faggen, 703-417-8615, edward.faggen@mwaa.com
