1 The joint applicants state that they will carry traffic of the other carrier between the Republic of Korea and Peru only, 

and the code-sharing services will not be available to either carrier's passengers originating at or destined for points in 

the United States; points in the United States will only serve as a transit point at which traffic between the Republic of 

Korea and Peru will connect. 
The code-share operations authorized here are subject to the following conditions: 

(a) The statement of authorization will remain in effect only as long as (i) Korean and LAN Peru continue to 

hold the necessary underlying authority to operate the code-share services at issue, and (ii) the code-share 

agreement providing for the code-share operations remains in effect. 

(b) Korean and /or LAN Peru must promptly notify the Department if the code-share agreement providing 

for the code-share operations is no longer effective or the carriers decide to cease operating any or all of the 

approved code-share services.2 Such notice should be filed in Docket DOT-OST-2014-0161. 

(c) Korean and/ or LAN Peru must notify the Department no later than 3 0 days before they begin any new 

code-share service under the code-share services authorized here. Such notice shall identify the market(s) to 

be served, which carrier will be operating the aircraft in the code-share market added, and the date on which 

the services will begin. Such notice shall be filed in Docket DOT-OST-2014-0161.3 

(d) The code-sharing operations conducted under this authority must comply with 14 CFR 257 and with any 

amendments to the Department's regulations concerning code-share arrangements that may be adopted. 

Notwithstanding any provisions in the contract between the carriers, our approval here is expressly 

conditioned upon the requirements that the subject foreign air transportation be sold in the name of the 

carrier holding out such service in computer reservation systems and elsewhere; that the carrier selling such 

transportation (i.e., the carrier shown on the ticket) accept responsibility for the entirety of the code-share 

journey for all obligations established in its contract of carriage with the passenger; and that the passenger 

liability of the operating carrier be unaffected. 

(e) The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that neither Korean nor LAN Peru shall give any force 

or effect to any contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these conditions. 

(f) We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted at any time without hearing at our discretion. 

2 We expect this notification to be received within 10 days of such non-effectiveness or of such decision. 3 The joint applicants provide initial code-share notice in their application indicating that Korean will display the LA* 

code on flights operated by Korean in the Los Angeles-Seoul market and LAN Peru will display the KE* code on 

flights operated by LAN Peru in the Los Angeles-Lima market.
