		Service List

SAS introduced a new daily roundtrip combination service between Chicago and Stockholm using Stage 3 Boeing B767 aircraft on October 25, 1998. On May 4, 1999, SAS filed with the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") a timely request for a single additional slot at Chicago O'Hare in order to maintain its re-timed Chicago-Copenhagen service for the upcoming winter 1999/2000 traffic season. SAS's request was for one daily ORD arrival slot at 5:40 p,m.(l740) SAS received a preliminary notification from the FAA this month after the June 10-16 Miami slot conference that SAS's request could not be approved. It appears that SAS's request, along with the request of other carriers for new or additional slots, exceeds the total number of slots that the FAA is able to allocate at O'Hare.

In all but one case, the Department had previously granted slot exemption authority for the requested services on a seasonal basis. The instant applications seek to renew the same exemption authority for the 1999-2000 winter season.
