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.

July 27, 2006

Application for Renewal

Continental Micronesia applies, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41102 and Subpart B of the Department's Rules of Practice, to renew its Segment 10 (Guam-Tokyo) Route 171 certificate authority to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Guam and Tokyo, Japan. Continental Micronesia asks that its Segment 10 (Guam-Tokyo) Route 171 certificate authority be renewed for a period of no less than five years and that this application be processed by expedited non-hearing procedures.

Continental Micronesia is currently utilizing the Route 171 Segment 10 authority for which it seeks renewal to operate three daily Guam-Tokyo flights and an additional flight operated five days per week.

Continental Micronesia's Route 171 Segment 10 authority to operate between Guam and Tokyo was originally transferred to it from Continental by Order 1992-9-29 and made effective-by Order 1992-11-46 in Docket 48238. Segment 10 of Continental Micronesia's Route 171 was first renewed by Order 1996-10-11 and most recently renewed by Order 2002-2-1. Absent renewal, the authority on Route 171 Segment 10 will expire on January 7, 2007.
