1 The carriers plan to implement codeshare service on March 29, 2015. 2 The applicant states that no local traffic will be carried between San Juan and Santo Domingo. 
The authority granted is subject to the following conditions: 

(a) The statement of authorization will remain in effect only as long as (i) Seaborne and Air Europa 

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) Seaborne and/or Air Europa must promptly notify the Department (Office oflnternational Aviation) if 

the code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations is no longer effective or if the carriers 

decide to cease operating all or a portion of the approved code-share services. Such notices should be 

filed in Docket OST-2015-0024.3 

(c) 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 the 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. 

(d) The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that neither Seaborne nor Air Europa shall 

give any force or effect to any contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these 

conditions. 

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