We will amend United's certificate for Route 603 to reflect renewal of authority to serve Spain on segment 6 for another five years, and will add a new condition authorizing route integration. We will dismiss United's request that its certificate authority be renewed for an indefinite duration. Although, as United notes, there may be some flexibility under the U.S.-Spain aviation agreement for additional U.S.-Spain services, that regime still technically remains a limited-entry regime. In these circumstances, we are not persuaded that it is in the public interest to deviate from our standard practice to limit U.S. carrier route authority to five years in countrypair markets where U.S. carrier rights are not fully open.
