OST-2000-7287 - Exemption - US-Canada	April 25, 2000	Application for Exemption Scanned Copy	U.S.- Canada
		Service List

Midwest Express requests exemption authority to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in Canada. In the near-term, Midwest Express intends to offer service between Boston, on the one hand, and Halifax, Ottawa and Quebec on the other, in accordance with the terms of a codeshare agreement between Midwest Express and American Eagle. Under this agreement, Midwest Express will only act as the marketing carrier. All aircraft operations will be conducted by American Eagle. American Eagle will not place its code on any flights operated by Midwest Express in any U.S.-Canada or any other market.

Although Midwest Express initially only intends to codeshare in the three markets discussed above, it seeks broad exemption authority to avoid the need to seek new exemption authority each time a new market opportunity develops, either on a code-share basis or otherwise. In this manner Midwest Express will be responsive to the needs of its passengers for increased international service. Additionally, this authority will strengthen Midwest Express' competitive position with respect to the U.S. and foreign air carriers that now dominate the U.S.-Canada passenger and cargo markets.

Application for Renewal of Exemption Authority

Midwest requests further renewal of its exemption authority to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in Canada.

Currently, Midwest only holds out scheduled service between Milwaukee and Toronto, in accordance with the terms of a code‑share agreement with its affiliate Skyway Airlines, Inc. Although Skyway possesses its own authority to serve Canada, Midwest seeks renewal of this exemption authority to permit it to more quickly and efficiently react to other business opportunities to serve points in Canada either directly or through a code‑share arrangement.
