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.

WHEREFORE, United urges the Department to finalize its tentative selection of United's 

proposal for first-ever nonstop U.S. carrier service between United's San Francisco hub gateway 

and Tokyo Haneda and thereby maximize the public benefits available to the traveling and 

shipping public through this proceeding.
