April 25, 2003 FAA-03-14904 By letter filed April 8, 2003, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Euroatlantic for an exemption from § 129.28 of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). The proposed exemption, if granted, would permit Euroatlantic to operate one Lockheed L-1011 aircraft after April 9, 2003, without meeting the requirements of §129.28 (c). You asked for an exemption until September 2003. By: Louis C. Cusimano April 28, 2003 FAA-03-14975 - Reagan Washington National Airport-Detroit/Fort Lauderdale Comments of ComAir to Application of Spirit Airlines The FAA must either (i) engage in a comparative selection process to evaluate the merits of the respective service proposals; see, Ashbacker Radio Corp. v. FCC, the permanent slot pool and allocate the service opportunities by established lottery procedures. Comair' s service will dramatically cut travel time on the DCA-Lexington and DCA-Savannah routes, saving travelers at least an hour in each direction and reducing round-trip elapsed travel times by up to fifty percent. No similar service benefits can be attributed to Spirit's proposal, since both the DCA-Detroit and DCA-Ft. Lauderdale routes already have nonstop service and would experience no time savings. Counsel: Delta and Shaw Pittman, Robert Cohn, 202-663-8060 |
