, Mesa Airl ines, In c. (“Mesa ”)

request ed that the Department regist e r the trade names “Continental Express” and

“Continental Connection ” for use in certain air transportation operations

.

Part 215 (14 CFR § 215) of the Department’s regulations provides that any air carrier

wishing to use an alternative trade name must first register that name with the

Department. The rule further states that the Department may register such name after the

air carrier gives notification to similarly named air carriers of the proposed use of the

name. In this case, Mesa states that Continental Airlines (“Continental ” ) and United Air

Lines 2 (“United”) consent to the registration of these trade name s

.

We note that Mesa state s that the United and Continental will make all required

discl osures of the identities of the operating air carriers and trade names in accordance

with the provisions of Part 257 of the Department’s regulations (14 CFR § 257)

. In

addi tion, Mesa states that the aircraft to be used to operate service on behalf of United or

Continental will clearly indicate that Mesa is the operating carrier.

Since Mesa has complied with the requirements of Part 215, we acknowledge the

registration of the trade names “Continental Express ” and “Cont inental Connection ” for

immediate use in its operations.
