Hawaiian Airlines’ Motion to File an Otherwise Unauthorized Pleading 

and Sur-Reply to American Airlines 

 Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (“Hawaiian”) hereby respectfully requests leave to file an 

otherwise unauthorized document pursuant to 14 CFR Part 302.6(b), namely this Sur-Reply to 

the Consolidated Reply of American Airlines, Inc. in this proceeding. Specifically, Hawaiian 

disagrees with American’s assertion that the Department can grant American’s application 

without instituting a proceeding to reallocate the Seattle-Haneda slot. Good cause exists to allow 

this Sur-Reply because it will clarify Hawaiian’s position concerning the Department’s authority 

and Hawaiian’s intention to submit a competing, mutually exclusive application in any 

subsequent proceeding. 

 American’s argument that the Department has no obligation under the Ashbacker 

doctrine to hold a full reallocation proceeding to develop a full factual record is form over 

substance. American overlooks the terms of Order 2013-2-4 granting Delta the authority to fly 

Haneda-Seattle. In its Motion and Answer, Hawaiian did not submit an application but made 
3 

clear its intention to participate in any subsequent reallocation proceeding.1

 In doing so, 

Hawaiian recognized that the Department would need to start a proceeding to modify the terms 

of Order 2013-2-4 and the fact that in each instance that the Department has considered the 

award of a Haneda frequency, it has set a procedural order requesting applications and setting a 

briefing schedule.2

 Hawaiian has every intention of following through on its promise to 

participate in any subsequent proceeding, as it has on all of its Haneda commitments. If the 

Department believes that an application is required at this time, Hawaiian will submit one 

without delay.

Respectfully submitted,
