Order Instituting Proceeding and Inviting Applications - Bookmarked

We have decided to institute the 2009 U.S.-China All-Cargo Designation and Frequency Allocation Proceeding to award the available designation to a U.S. air carrier to operate all-cargo services between the United States and China and to allocate 15 all-cargo frequencies to serve points in China Zone 1 or China Zone 2. These rights become available on March 25, 2009.

Incumbent carriers designated to provide all-cargo service between the United States and China Zone 1 or China Zone 2 are invited to apply for the 15 all-cargo frequencies that become available on March 25, 2009, and should request new or amended certificate authority, as needed, to operate the frequencies.

In awarding the rights available in this proceeding, our principal objective will be to maximize the public benefits that will result from the various awards of authority in this case. In this regard, we will consider which applicants will be most likely to offer and maintain the best service for the shipping public. We will consider the effects of the applicants’ service proposals on the overall market structure and level of competition in the U.S.-China market, and any other market shown to be relevant, in order to promote an air transportation environment that will sustain the greatest public benefits. In addition, we will consider other factors historically used for carrier selection where relevant. Based on the material in the record, we will consider whether it is in the public interest to award backup authority in this case.
