Antillean Airlines N.V. (Exemption, Curacao-Ft. Lauderdale)
OST-96-1814 / Filed September 27, 1996
A liberal bilateral regime exists between the U.S. and the Netherlands Antilles; Ft. Lauderdale does not receive single--plane U.S. carrier passenger service to the Netherlands Antilles; and ALM is prepared to start Curacao-Ft. Lauderdale service December 1, 1996. This commencement date would allow this attractive transportation alternative to be available to passengers and shippers during the peak of the winter season, when travel to the Caribbean from the U.S. is most popular.

Letter
of Intent between American and ALM
The purpose for this exemption is to implement a Code-Share Agreement made between ALM and American Airlines, Inc. Petitions the Department to grant by exemption economic operating authority to operate flights between San Juan and Miami as coterminal points and St. Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles, and between Miami and Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York/Newark, and Philadelphia as points beyond Miami and between San Juan and Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York/Newark, and Philadelphia as points beyond San Juan.

Answer of United Air Lines
The adverse consequences that would result from allowing American and ALM to code share exceed by a wide margin any consumer benefits that might be claimed from the alliance. Approval would, therefore, not be consistent with the pubic interest and the applications of American and ALM should be denied. United would urge that it consolidate these American code share applications with those now under consideration in the American/TACA Group Reciprocal Code Share Services Proceeding.

Instead of offering a single reason why it is unable to serve these markets, United complains about what it calls American’s strength in the Caribbean region. American’s strong position in US-Caribbean markets comes from its willingness to invest aircraft, facilities, and personnel to provide service. American’s position in these open-entry markets stands in sharp contrast to United’s highly protected dominance in US-Asia markets where competitors are kept out by governmental agreement.
Counsel: American, Carl Nelson, 202.496.5647
The DOT should not sabotage ALM’s interests and the interests of the public because of competitive concerns among US carriers or because they lost the competition. United says it lost its ability to participate in these markets. How? United can operate and compete in these markets today and tomorrow. The objections of United and TWA are without substance.

Response of United Air Lines and Motion for Leave to File
The results of America’s domination of service in the Caribbean/Latin American region are evidenced by the higher yields its dominant position is producing from its operations in this area as compared to other international markets. Thus, in the most recent quarter American’s yields from its U.S.-Caribbean/Latin American services were 14.20 cents per mile, or 27 percent higher than the overall U.S. carrier yield from international services of 11.17 cents per mile. And while overall international yields declined by two percent in third quarter 1996 over third quarter 1995, America’s Caribbean/Latin American yields increased by one percent. American is now seeking to further enhance and entrench its dominance in this region by entering into cooperative marketing relationships with Caribbean and Latin American foreign flag carriers.
