Dear Secretary Foxx:

I write to you today to express my enthusiastic support for American Airlines and its application to acquire a slot pair from t he Department to serve Tokyo's Haneda Airport from Los Angeles International Airport.

Nonstop flights to Haneda are a scarce national resource that should be distributed amongst U.S. carriers to obtain the maximum consumer and economic benefits. Yet, toda y three U.S. carriers operate the four daily flights at Haneda, limiting travel options for U.S. consumers and shippers who want convenient access to Tokyo. A merican's proposed daily service from Los Angeles to Haneda will have the effect of increasing cu ltural, tourism and business ties between the United States and Japan.

American would provide important consumer and competitive benefits in the Haneda market, not only by competing head

- to

- head with other carriers on the Los Angeles

- Haneda route, but also by enhancing the overall competition for service between the U.S. and Tokyo. Los Angeles is the largest continental U.S. gateway to Tokyo and demand in the Los Angeles

Tokyo market is almost five times larger than Seattle

- Tokyo. A new U.S. entrant into Haneda would provide additional consumer choice and important competition in the Tokyo market.

I strongly believe American's application for nonstop service between Los Angeles and Haneda will increase competition and maximize public benefits by ensuring t he full use of this valuable Haneda slot pair. Therefore, I urge you to approve American's proposal to serve Haneda from Los Angeles.

Signed,

## Re: Application for American Airlines in the U.S.-Haneda Combination Services Allocation Proceeding, Docket DOT-OST-zoro-oor8

Dear Secretary Foxx:

I represent VYT Viajes y Turismo, that provide Airline Tickets, located in Montevideo, Uruguay.

We employ r8 workers to provide our product/service and the service proposed by American Airlines will
contribute to continued growth of our business/customer base. lt is in this context that we write to

express our enthusiastic support for American Airlines' application to acquire a slot pair from the Department to serve Tokyo's Haneda Airport ("Haneda") from Los Angeles lnternational Airport ("LAX").

The nonstop flights 

### to Haneda are scarce national resources that should be distributed amongst U.S.

carriers to obtain the maximum consumer and economic benefits. Yet, today three U.S. carriers operate
the four daily flights at Haneda, limiting travel options for U.S. consumers and shippers who want

convenient access to Tokyo. We are convinced that American's proposed daily service from LAX to

Haneda will have the effect of increasing the existing cultural, tourism, and business ties.

As you may be aware, California and Japan enjoy strong business and cultural ties that further underscore
the necessity for American Airlines' service to Haneda. ln 

### 2ott, Japan was the largest source of Foreign
Direct lnvestment into Los Angeles County while travel demand between the two countries was sustained
by the approximately z5o,ooo Japanese Americans and 5o,ooo Japanese nationals living in Southern
California. American Airlines' LAX-Haneda flight will not only better connect travelers and businesses, but

it will help stimulate new business opportunities and create much needed jobs for other California companies.

Re : American Airlines’ LAX

- HND Application ( Docket DOT

- OST

- 2010

- 0018 )

– SUPPORT

Secretary Foxx:

On behalf of the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), an organization dedicated to promoting job growth, ec onomic expansion and increasing the overall global competitiveness of Los Angeles County, I am writing to urge the Department of Transportation (DOT)

to support American Airlines’ (AA) application to acquire a slot pair to operate daily, year

- round, nonstop service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Tokyo’s Ha neda Airport (HND).

This new LAX

- HND frequency will strengthen AA ’ s international hub operations at LAX and help

secure Southern California ’s status as America ’ s economic and cultural gateway to the Pacific Rim

I. The Current Challenge

At present, t ravel options in to HND

, Tokyo’s downtown airport, for Southern California business and

leisure travelers are extre mely limited. American Airlines, the largest carrier out of LAX serving mor e than 12.6 million annual passengers

, remains shut out of Haneda Airport

, leaving its Southern

California customers without direct access to downtown Tokyo. Compounding matters, there are only f our daily nonstop flights operating today from the United States to H ND

, with only three

American flag carriers granted the right to op erate the four daily flights . And with capacity stretched,

the already limit ed travel options for business and leisure purposes are essentially capped in to this highly strategic Asian market. This is most troubling and prob lematic for a Southern California regional economy that is at

- once dependent upon and serves as the gateway to Japan and other

Pacific Rim nations.

II. S ignificant Economic and Cultural Ties: Japan and Los Angeles Region

The six

- county S outhern California region is home to the largest Japanese and Japanese

- American population in the entire U.S. More than 250,000 Japanese

- Americans are living in Southern California, and Los Angeles County has the largest Japanese and Ja panese

- American community of any county in the U.S. with over 100,000 people of Japanese heritage liv ing in the County.As the leading gateway to the Pacific Rim, the L. A. region has emerged as the n atural epi center of

Japan

- U.S. commerce

. Candidly

, Japan ’ s economic importance to the Los Angeles region cannot be

overstated. Japan is Los Angeles County’s top source o f foreign direct investment. In additi on, Japan

i s the Los Angeles Custom District ’ s (LACD) second largest trading par tner with total two

- way trade valued at $43.5 billion (2013)

. Japan also represents the LACD ’ s fourth largest export destination

, with the [ LACD ’ s ] top export to Japan being high

- value, “ just

- in

- time ” pharmaceuticals ( and other

medicine s ) , which are typically transported in the “ bellies ” of airplanes.

III. The Importance of the LAX

- Haneda Frequency

LAX

– with a catchment area of over 20 million people

– serves approximately 70 million annual passengers and rank s as the world’s busiest origin and destination airport

. P roviding American

Airlines with the right to comp ete in the LAX

- HND market will not only i nject a new competitor into

HND and increase the L.A. region’s overall connectivity to Asia

, but will conspicuously maximiz e options for Southern California consumers , businesses, exporters and shippers travelling to, and doing business with, Japan.

Adding this daily LAX

- HND route will also allow our region to reap all the economic benefits directly

attributable to this LAX

- HND frequency and its associated increased economic activity . According to
a 2007 LAEDC report, a s ingle daily transoceanic flight , s uch as HND to LAX, contribute s over the course of a year an additional $623 million annually in economic output to the Southern California economy, including 3,120 direct and indirect jobs with $156 million in wages

. These are significant

economic an d job impacts which our region still desperately needs, as our county ’ s unemployment

rate (8.0 percent) remai ns more than two percentage points above the national rate (5.8 percent).

In conclusion , t he importance to our region’s global competitiveness and economic success of having convenient , nonstop and direct air access from Los Angeles to Tokyo cannot be overblown

. For all of the reaso ns noted above, we respectfully urge your support of American Airlines ’ LAX

- HND application

.

Sincerely,

David Flaks, Chief Operating Officer Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC)

RE: American Airlines’ Los Angeles

- Haneda Application, Docket DOT

- OST

- 2010

- 0018

Dear Secretary Foxx:

I write to urge the Department of Trans portation to support American Airlines’ application to acquire a slot pair to serve Tokyo’s Haneda Airport (“Haneda”) from Los Angeles International Airport (“LAX”).

Today, there are four daily nonstop flights from the United States to Haneda, Tokyo’s d owntown airport. The Haneda flights are scarce national resources that should be distributed to carriers that will maximize consumer and economic benefits.

Yet, travel options for U.S. consumers are limited. Only three U.S. carriers were granted the ri ght to operate the four daily flights to Haneda, and not all of the currently allocated Haneda flights are even being utilized to the fullest extent.

American Airlines, the largest U.S. carrier, remains shut out of Haneda, leaving its customers without direct access to downtown Tokyo. Giving American Airlines the right to compete in the LAX

- Haneda market will inject a new competitor to Haneda maximizing options for California consumers and shippers travelling to, and doing business with, Japan.

Ameri can Airlines has a rich history as Southern California’s premier airline to domestic and international destinations. And California and Japan enjoy strong business and cultural ties that underscore the need for American Airlines’ service to Haneda. Ameri can Airlines’ LAX

- Haneda flight will not only better connect travelers and businesses, but it will help stimulate new business opportunities and create jobs for California companies.

American Airlines’ application for nonstop service between LAX and H aneda will fully utilize the valuable Haneda slots while bolstering the cultural and economic relationship between California and Japan. I urge you to approve American Airlines’ application.

John Echeveste

Dear Secretary

Foxx:

I represent

ATN Viajes S.A. that provide

Travel Services located in Santiago

Chile. We employ 40 workers

to provide

our product/service

and the service

proposed

by American Airlines will contribute

to continued

growth of our business/customer base. lt is in this context that we write to express

our enthusiastic

support for American

Airlines' application to acquire

a slot pair

from the Department

to serve Tokyo's Haneda Airport ("Haneda")

from Los Angeles International

Airport ("LAX"¡.

The nonstop flights to Haneda

are scarce national resources

that should be distributed

amongst U.S. carriers to obtain the maximum

consumer

and economic

benefits. Yet, today three U.S. carriers operate the four daily flights at Haneda,

limiting travel options for U.S. consumers

and shippers who want convenient

access to Tokyo.

We are convinced that American's

proposed

daily service from LAX to Haneda

will have the effect

of increasing the existing

cultural, tourism, and business

ties.

As you may be aware,

California

and Japan enjoy strong business and cultural ties that further underscore

the necessity

for American

Airlines' service to Haneda.

ln 2OII, Japan was the largest

source of Foreign

Direct Investment

into Los Angeles County while travel demand between the two countries

was sustained

by the approximately

250,000 Japanese

Americans

and 50,000

Japanese

nationals

living in Southern

California.

American Airlines' LAX-Haneda

flight will not only better connect travelers and businesses,

but it will help stimulate

new business opportunities

and create

much needed jobs for other California companies.

We strongly believe American

Airlines' application

for nonstop

service between LAX and Haneda

will not only have a positive

impact on both our constituents

and our state's economy,

but will best utilize

the scarce

Haneda slots. Therefore,

we urge you to approve American

Airlines' proposal to serve Haneda from LAX

without further delay.

Dear Secretary Foxx:

I represent the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center (JACCC) located in Los Angeles. The JACCC ’ s mission is to present, perpetuate, transmit and promote Japanese and Japanese American arts and culture to diverse audiences, and to provide a center to enhance community programs. In service to this mission, we conduct cultural exchange projects bringing artists and cultura l workers both from the U.S. to Japan and from Japan to the U.S. The service proposed by American Airlines will contribute to

c ontinued growth of our busine ss as a cultural bridge builder

. It is in this context that we wr it e to express

our enthusiastic support for American Airlines ’ application to acquire a slot pair from the Department to serve Tokyo ’ s Haneda Airport ( “ Haneda ” ) from Los Angeles International Airport ( “ LAX ” )

.
The nonstop flights to Haneda are scarce national resources that should be distributed amongst U.S. carriers to obtain the maximum consumer and economic benefits. Yet, today three U.S. carriers operat e the four daily flights at Haneda , limit ing travel options for U.S. consumers and shippers who want convenient access to Tokyo

. We are convinced that American ’ s proposed daily service from LAX to Haneda will have the effect of increasing the existing cultural, tourism, and business ties.

As you may be aware, California and Japan enjoy strong business and cultural ties that further underscore the ne cessity for Ame rican Airline s ’ service to Haneda

. In 2011, Japan wa s the largest source of Foreign Direct Investment into L.A. County while travel demand between the two countries was sustained by the approximately 250,000 Japanese Americans and 50,000 Japanese nationals liv ing in Southern California

. American Airlines ’ LAX

- Haneda flight will not only better connect travelers and businesses , but it will help stimulate new business opportunities and create much needed jobs for other California companies.

We strongly believe American Airlines ’ application for nonstop service between LAX and Haneda will not only have a positive impact on both our constituents and our state ’ s economy , but will best utilize the scarce Haneda slots

. Therefore, w e urge you to approve American Airlines ’ proposal to serve Haneda from LAX without further delay

.

RE: American Airlines’ Los Angeles

- H aneda Application, Docket DOT

- OST

- 2010

- 0018

Dear Secretary Foxx:

I writ e to urge the Department of Transportation to support American Airlines’ application
to acquire a slot pair to serve Tokyo ’s Haneda Airport (“Haneda” ) from Los Angeles International Airport (“LAX”)

.
Today, t here are four daily nonstop flights from the United States to Haneda, Tokyo’s downtown airport. The Haneda flights are scarce national resources that should be distributed to carriers t hat will maximize consumer and economic benefits.

Yet, travel options for U.S. consumers are limited. Only three U.S. carriers were granted the right to operate the four daily flights to Haneda, and not all of the currently allocated Haneda flights are even being utilized to the fullest extent. The result is a
squa ndering of the already limited opportunities for consumer access to this highly strategic Asian market.

American Airlines, the largest U.S. carrier, remains shut out of Haneda

, leaving its customers without direct access to downtown Tokyo. Giving Amer ican Airlines the right to comp ete in the LAX

- Haneda market will inject a new competitor to Haneda maximiz ing options for California consumers and shippers travelling to, and doing business with, Japan.

American Airlines has a rich history as Southern California’s premier airline to domestic and international destinations. American Airlines is the largest carrier at LAX serving more than 12.6 million passengers annually. It has nearly 200 daily departures to more than 6 0 destinations today, with plans to grow both domestic and international service offerings.

California and Japan enjoy strong business and cultural ties that underscore the need for American Airline s ’ service to Haneda

. In 2011, Japan wa s the largest source of ForeignDirect Investment into Los Angeles County while travel demand between the two

countries was sustained by the approximately 250,000 Japanese Americans and 50,000 Japanese nationals liv ing in Southern California

. American Airlines’ LAX

- Han eda flight will not only better connect travelers and businesses , but it will help stimulate new business opportunities and create jobs for California companies.

American Airlines’ application for nonstop service between LAX and Haneda will fully utilize the valuable Haneda slots while bolster ing the cultural and economic relationship between California and Japan

. I urge you to approve American Airlines’ application

.

Sincerely,
