APPLICATION OF GOJET AIRLINES, LLC TO

AMEND A STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION

GoJet Airlines, LLC, d/b/a United Express (“GoJet”) hereby applies 1 to amend its

blanket state ment of authorization issued in the above

- referenced proceeding to allow GoJet

to provide code

- share service between points in the United States and points in third

countries with All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd. (“ANA”), Austrian Airlines (“Austrian”),

British Midland Airways Limited ( “bmi”), and Deutsche Lufthansa AG (“Lu fthansa”)

(collectively “Foreign Partners”)

. GoJet is seeking expedited treatment of this application in

order to operate code

- share services pursuant to this amend ed authority as soon as possible.

On behalf of GoJet, United will poll carrier representat ives in the attached service list and

advise the Department of the results.

In support of its request, GoJet submits the following:

1. By Department Action dated November 3, 2005, the Department granted

GoJet a blanket statement of authorization to code sh are between points in the United States

and gave notice of service in specific markets pursuant to its code share with the Foreign

1 United is filing this application on behalf of and with the permission of GoJet

Page 2

Partners. Through various notices, GoJet advised the Department of the expansion of its

code share with these Foreign P artne rs to encompass other U.S. points, which was consistent

with its certificate authority and services as a UAX carrier at that time. See, e.g, N otices

dated April 16, 2006 and January 18, 2008 filed in the above

- referenced docket

.

2. At the initial stages o f its code share with these Foreign Partners, GoJet’s

underlying authority and services as a UAX carrier were limited to services within the United

States. GoJet has since expanded its authority and UAX service to include Canada. See,

Notice of Action Ta ken dated January 5, 2010 in docket DOT

- OST

- 2009

- 0348 (granting

GoJet exemption authority to serve Canada.) In order for the Foreign Partners to code share

on GoJet’s expanded service, GoJet requests amend ment of its blanket statement

authorization to inc lude flights it operates as a UAX carrier between U.S. points and points in

third countries.

3. GoJet is already party to UAX carrier blanket code

- share notices for services

to open skies countries. This includes notice s with its Foreign Partners herein. At the time

those notices were filed it was explained that GoJet would code share only in markets where

it held appropriate authority. See , e.g., Notice of ANA and, inter alia , GoJet

, dated April 5,

2011, p.2, footnote 3 , and Notice of Austrian and

, inte r alia

, GoJet, dated May 27, 2009, p. 1,

n.2, both in this docket . Now that GoJet has U.S.

- Canada exemption authority and is codeApplication of GoJet

sharing for United and other foreign carriers , it wishes to amend its blanket statement of

authorization to encompass such se rvices for its Foreign Partners as well. 2

4. GoJet’s requested amendment would align its code

- share authority for these

Foreign Partners with the statements of authorization which the Department granted it for

other foreign carrier partners of United Airlin es. See, e.g. Department Action dated June 11,

2009 in docket DOT

- OST

- 2009

- 0131 (GoJet

, et al

., code sharing with Aer Lingus). The

public interest supports this conforming amendment for the same reasons supporting the

grant of GoJet’s authority to code s hare with Aer Lingus on similar routes as well as with the

Foreign Partners in its original application herein. The Foreign Partners are all from Open

Skies countries and GoJet’s initial third

- country services for them will operate to Canada,

another Open Skies country

.

5. GoJet accepts the Department’s standard terms and conditions with respect to

the code

- share service it will provide under the amended statement of authorization it

requests herein.

6. GoJet is not a CRAF participant and approval of the req uested amendment

will not affect the CRAF program.

WHEREFORE, on the basis of the foregoing, GoJet respectfully requests expedited

approval for the amendment of its blanket statement of authorization described above and

2 GoJet will obtain the necessary authority and f ile the necessary notice with the Department in the

event that it expands its international UAX service to other countries, including non

- Open Skies

countries

further requests that the Departme nt grant it such other relief as the Department may deem

appropriate.
