in the matter of 2010 U.S.-Haneda Combination Service Allocation Proceeding Docket DOT-OST-2010-0018

COMMENTS OF UNITED AIRLINES, INC.

United' applauds the Department's well-considered decision tentatively allocating one U.S.-Haneda daily slot pair to United to provide first-ever U.S. carrier service between the nation's premier trans-Pacific gateway, San Francisco, and Tokyo Haneda, to the benefit of United's customers, coworkers and communities. The Department recognized the overall superior merits of United's service proposal, finding "that the potential benefits of new competition in the San Francisco-Haneda market, and the broader West Coast-Haneda market, outweigh the potential benefits that might be achieved by introducing [Hawaiian's proposed] service to the substantially smaller Kona-Haneda market." Order 2014-2-23 at 5. United's proposed San Francisco-Tokyo Haneda service will also provide new or competitive connecting opportunities throughout the Western U.S. Id. at 4. Against this backdrop, United asks that the Department issue a final order confirming its tentative selection so that United may begin to make the necessary arrangements for its Tokyo Haneda service well in advance of start-up.

Respectfully submitted,
CROWELL & MORING LLP
