**ANSWER OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.**

American Airlines, Inc. hereby answers the
applications for U.S.

- Haneda authority filed on August
27, 2012 by Delta Air Lines (Detroit), United Air Lines,
(San Francisco), and Haw aiian Airlines (Kona).
As we show below, the Department should promptly
conclude this proceeding by granting American’s
application to operate daily nonstop service between Los
Angeles and Haneda.
o Los Angeles is the largest U.S. Mainland

g ateway to Tokyo , two times larger than San Francisco and
six times larger than Seattle

. o Selection of American will provide oneworld’s
first entry in the Los Angeles

- Haneda nonstop market,
which is already served by Star and SkyTeam, thus

enhancin g competitive balance among the global alliances

. o Via the Los Angeles gateway, American and
American Eagle will provide convenient on

- line roundtrip

### - 2

-

connections to 22 U.S. behind cities, including the 10
largest traffic generators to Tokyo.
o American’s immunized cooperative relationship
with Japan Airlines will provide connecting opportunities
beyond Haneda to 29 cities in Japan as well as to
Shanghai, Beijing, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul, Singapore , and Taiwan.

DELTA

Ha ving failed to succeed with service to Haneda

from its large hub at Detroit, Delta now wishes to give
Seattle a try. The Department should not gamble the
public interest by enabling Delta to experiment with
another gateway where Delta’s presence is minima l.

Seattle is not a Delta hub. From Seattle, Delta

operates to only six M ainland cities (Atlanta,
Cincinnati, Detroit, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, and
Salt Lake City). All of the other on

- line service
behind Seattle that Delta claims in its ap plication is
DL* operated by Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air under
codeshare agreements (Exhibit AA

- R

- 101 ). Delta has no
control over Alaska’s scheduling decisions and thus can

offer no assurance that the claimed Delta

- to

- DL*
connections operated by Alask a via Seattle will continue
to exist in the future. We cannot recall any carrier

### - 3

-

selection proceeding where an applicant has relied so
heavily on codeshare connecting service operated by

another carrier.
Moreover, Delta presents the unusua l situation
where a carrier, having failed with an international

route from a large hub, now seeks to transfer the route

to a non

- hub. At its Detroit hub , Delta operates to 3 8
U.S. cities, but at Seattle , as noted above , operates to just 6 (Exhibit AA

- R

- 1 02 ).
For the year ended July 2012 , Seattle accounted for
82,596 passenger bookings to Tokyo, one sixth of the
481,518 bookings for Los Angeles (Exhibit AA

- 111 )

. Among all Mainland gateways, Seattle ranks sixth in Tokyo
bookings, while Los Angeles ranks first.

Seattle is the smallest M ainland

- Tokyo market
proposed by any of the applicants (Exhibit AA

- R

- 103 ).
While Delta says that Seattle is the largest Mainland
market without nonstop service to Haneda (DL appl., p. 3) , that assertion is i ncorrect. Chicago

- Tokyo and Las

Vegas

- Tokyo are both larger and lack nonstop flights to
Haneda (Exhibit AA

- R

- 104 ).
Delta has proposed the smallest aircraft (22 5

- seat B767) among the applicants (Exhibit AA

- R

- 105 ). The
Department used aircraft size as a carrier selection

### - 4

-

factor in the initial decision in this docket. See Order

2010

- 5

- 7, p.10 (citing D elta ’s significant capacity
advantage )

. Delta, as the applicant proposing the least
amount of capacity, should not be favored.

UNITED

Un ited and its Star Alliance partners (ANA and
Singapore Airlines) command the largest presence in the

U.S.

- Japan nonstop market. United operates nonstop to
Tokyo from 8 U.S. gateway cities ( Chicago, Honolulu,
Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco, Se attle, and
Washington ), to Osaka from San Francisco and Guam, and to

10 cities in Japan ( Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Niigata,
Okayama, Okinawa, Osaka, Sapporo, Sendai and Tokyo ) from

Guam . ANA operates nonstop to Tokyo from 7 U.S. gateway
cities ( Chicago, Honolulu, Los Angeles, New York,
Seattle, San Fra ncisco, and Washington ), and Singapore
Airlines operates nonstop between Los Angeles and Tokyo
(Exhibit AA

- R

- 106 ).

American serve s Tokyo nonstop from 4 U.S.
gateways ( Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles and New

York ) and Japan Airlines serves Tokyo from 7 U.S.

g ateways ( Boston, Chicago, Honolulu, Los Angeles, New

York , San Francisco, and Guam ) and also serves Nagoya and

Osaka from Honolulu (Exhibit AA

- R

- 107 ).

### - 5

-

Star operates 210 we ekly nonstop frequencies
between the U.S. and Japan, while oneworld operates 118
(Exhibit AA

- R

- 108 ). Star operates 53,895 weekly nonstop
seats between the U.S. and Japan, while oneworld operates
33,249 (Exhibit AA

- R

- 109 ). For the year ended July

2012 , Star accounted for 1, 037,316 p assenger bookings

between the U .S. and Tokyo , while oneworld accounted for
912,510 (Exhibit AA

- R

- 110 ).
In the interest of competitive balance among the
three global alliances, American’s application for Los
Angeles

- Han eda authority should be favored over United’s
application for a San Francisco

- Haneda award. See Order

2010

- 5

- 7 in this docket, p. 11 (“in the overall U.S.

- Asia
market, the Star and SkyTeam alliances currently hold
significant positions. Thus, an award of Haneda rights
to American here should enhance alliance competition by
improving the competitive posture of American and

oneworld in the U.S.

- Asia market as compared to the
SkyTeam and Star alliances”)

. Los Angeles is the largest U.S. Mainland gat eway

to Tokyo , and t wice the size of San Francisco (Exh ibit

AA

- 111). Balancing competition among global alliances is
particularly important in the largest Mainland market.

### - 6

-

See 2005/2006 U.S.

- China Frequencies Case and
Designations , Order 2005

- 2

- 14, February 22, 2005, p. 24
(“an award to American in this case would provide inter

alliance competition, which has become an important
component of competition in international markets. An award to American will allow oneworld to better compete
with Sky Team and Star and extend the benefits of enhanced

inter

- alliance competition to the traveling public”).

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES Hawaiian has applied to operate between Kona,
Hawaii and Haneda. Hawaiian’s application is the
weakest among the contenders a nd should be disfavored for

several reasons

. Only eight U.S.

- Haneda opportunities are available

under the U.S.

- Japan air transport agreement (four for
U.S. carriers and four for Japanese carriers).
Three of the eight (37.5%) are already being used to
serve Hawaii (HA, JAL, and ANA each operate s to Haneda

from Honolulu ) (Exhibit AA

- R

- 111 ) . If Hawaiian were to
prevail here, 50 percent of all Haneda opportunities
(four of eight) and 50 percent of U.S. carrier Haneda
opportunities (two of four) would be used at a Hawaii
gateway (Exhibit AA

- R

- 112 ).

### - 7

-

Destinations in Hawaii account for 36 percent of
passenger bookings in the U.S.

- Tokyo market (Exhibit AA

R

- 113 ) , which is less than the 3 7.5% Haneda slot share
now enjoyed by Hawaii . In these circu mstances it would
clearly be contrary to the public interest to select

Hawaiian Airlines.
Moreover, of all the passenger traffic carried
between Hawaii and Japan, the overwhelming majority ( 94
percent) is Japan

- originating (Exhibit AA

- R

- 114 ).

We do not believe that the U.S. Government, in
negotiating valuable Haneda rights for U.S. carriers,

intended that half of the allotment would be used for the
benefit of Japanese leisure passengers.
Finally, Hawaiian would offer behind gateway on

line connections to only 2 destinations ( Honolulu and

Maui ) (Exhibit AA

- R

- 115 ). Coupled with the other
factors weighing against Hawaiian cited above, a public
interest justification for granting Hawaiian’s
application is lacking.

### - 8

-

CONCLUSION

F or the foregoing reasons, the Department should
select American to operate nonstop service between Los
Angeles and Haneda. Los Angeles is the largest Mainland
gateway to Tokyo and is without nonstop service to Haneda
by oneworld. To remedy such a competi tive imbalance among
global alliances, American’s application should be
granted.
