– Haneda

Combination Services Allocation Proceeding Docket DOT

- OST

- 2010

- 0018

APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

On October 2, 2014, American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) filed a Motion before

the Department seeking review of the usage of one U.S.

- Haneda slot pair by Delta Air

Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) on the Seattle

- Tokyo (Haneda) route allocated by Order 201 3

- 2

- 4

.

T he Department agreed that a review was warranted and instituted this proceeding to

determine “the disposition of the U.S.

- Haneda slot pair currently allocated to Delta

. . .

for services between Seattle, Washington and Tokyo’s Haneda Airport.” 1 

### Because the

U.S.

- Japan bilateral limits U.S.

- Haneda service by U.S. carriers to only four slot pairs,

this proceeding is essential to protecting the public interest. As the Department stated:

“Th e principal objective in this proceeding will be to maximize public benefits with this

scarce resource.” 2 

### Maximizing public benefits means greater travel options

, more

choices for consumers

, and increased competition among airlines and alliances.

### Application o f American Airlines, Inc.

Page 2 of 1 2

American hereby submits this application for one slot pair to be used in the Los

Angeles

- Haneda market pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109, 14 C.F.R. Part 302, subpart C of

the Department’s regulations, and Order 2014

- 12

- 9. Our service proposal provides:

 Year

- round dai ly service in the largest U.S.

- Tokyo market, Los Angeles

Haneda

.

 Convenient connections in both directions to 2 5 markets at Los Angeles,

American’s W est C oast gateway

, in the Summer season and to 32 connections

in both directions in the Winter season

– mor e than any other Los Angeles

Haneda carrier.

 Boeing 777

- 200 equipment with 247 seats: 16 First Class, 37 Business Class,

and 194 Economy ; planned 2015 configurations will increase seats to 260. 3



###  Significant addition of cargo capacity to this important Asian market.

 Commencement within 60 days of issuance of a F inal Order by the

Department

.

To achieve the benefits described in this A pplication , the Department should reallocate to

American the U.S.

- Haneda slot pair currently us ed by Delta for Seattle

- Haneda service to

allow American to offer its proposed Los Angeles

- Haneda service.

I. Adding Service to Haneda Is Critical to American’s International Strategy

A merican’s top international priority is building its Asia n presence

, which will

allow it to compete more effectively in that region. As American ’s President

, Scott

Kirby

, and Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer

, Andrew Nocella

, testify

in Exhibits AA

- T

- 1 and AA

- T

- 2 , gaining access to Tokyo Haneda is a cornerstone of that

strategy. By achieving Haneda service

, American will be able to provide greater network

- 103. American is currently reconfiguring its B77 7

- 200 s to have 260 seats, with

45 Business Class seats, 55 Main Cabin Extra seats, and 160 E conomy seats.

coverage for the travelling public and shippers

, and allow American to compete with the

incumbent U.S. airlines serving Japan

.

While the normal service start

- up conditions request ed by the Department is 90

days, American recognizes the value of this scarce resource and commits to start service

60 days after the issuance by the Department of a Final Order. American will make

every effort to start earlier than its 6 0

- day commitment, but, realistically and

operationally, accelerating this already accelerated schedule may not be possible.

Increasing American ’s presence at Haneda i s critical, and it is fully committed to

serving that market. Moreover, as our exhibits d emonstrate , American’s proposal will:

 provide substantial inter

- carrier competition to the two largest U.S. carriers

s erving Tokyo, and Japan

, and all of Asia

– Delta and United; 4



###  provide inter

- a lliance competition to SkyTeam and Star Alliance at Los

Angeles ; 5



###  provide real, meaningful inter

- gateway competition; 6 

### and

 provide real, meaningful intra

- gateway competition. 7



### Historically, American has repeatedly tried to secure a more comprehensive

network to Japan. Yet, American’s efforts have bee n either practically or legally

impeded by the incumbent carriers’ opposition and strong market position

, which is the

product of their many decades headstart in Asia on American, which in turn, is the

product of their privileged “incumbent” position

. M ore r ecently, American’s efforts to

provide competition to the incumbents has faced another challenge: Delta’s attempts at

the government negotiation table to block further U.S.

- Japan liberalization. As the

Department is quite aware, no U.S. carrier has been more vocal

, active in , and supportive

of U.S. Government attempts to further liberaliz e the U.S.

- Japan aviation market than

American.

II. American’s Proposed Los Angeles

- Haneda Service

American will provide year

- round daily nonstop service between Haneda and Los

Angeles . American’s proposed schedule will be:

Summer 2015 Schedule

Route Departure Time (local) Arrival Time (local)

LAX to HND 18:30 22:30 +1

HND to LAX 00:00 18:30

- 1

Winter 2015 Schedule

Route Departure Time (local) Arrival Time (local)

LAX to HND 17:00 22:30 +1

HND to LAX 00:00 17:00

- 1

American’s schedule compl ies with the Haneda curfew which , u nder the current U.S.

-

Japan Memorandum of Understanding, permits U.S.

- Haneda operations only between

22 : 00 and 07 : 00 . D epartures from Haneda to U.S.

- mainland points are not allowed

before midnight. American’s schedule depend s on actual slot availability at Haneda. Ex.

AA

- 103

.

American’s service will provide convenient both

- direction connections between

Haneda and 2 5 citi es through its W est C oast gateway, Los Angeles , in the summer

season

, and 3 2 cities in the winter season

. E x . AA

III. American’s Proposal Will Best Serve the Public Interest

The remainder of this A pplication and the accompanying exhibits explain how

American’s proposed Los Angeles

- Haneda daily service will improve competition and

maximize the public benefit s by ending Delta’s significant and appalling unde ruse of a

valuable slot pair for Seattle

- Haneda. It also outlines the supporting information that the

Department requested in Order 2014

- 12

- 9.

The accompanying direct testimonies of American’s President

, Sc ott Kirby

, a nd

Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer

, Andrew Nocella

, convey American’s

commitment to expanding Haneda access and the critical importance of Los Angeles

Haneda service to American’s future. Exs. AA

. The accompanying

direct exhibits also show that American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda proposal will provide vast

and immediate benefits to U.S. consumers and shippers in Southern California and

throughout the United States . Specifically:



#  Exhibit Series 100 identifies the contours of the proposed service, including

the best connecting

- market access of any airline.



#  Exhibit Series 200 explains why Los Angeles is an ideal Haneda gateway and

how American will bolster competition via a Los Angel es gateway.



#  Exhibit Series 300 shows that American’s service will provide far greater

public benef

it than Delta’s Haneda service.



#  Exhibit Series 400 summarizes the public benefits of American’s Los

Angeles

- Haneda proposal.



#  Exhibit Series 500 details the co nnecting information for American’s Los

Angeles

- Haneda proposal.



#  Exhibit Series 600 are letter s of support for American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda

proposal.

T he Department has two choices in this proceeding . I t can allow Delta to retain a

U.S.

- Haneda slot pair currently allocated to the Seattle

- Haneda route, despite no use at all

of that scarce resource for months at a time and underutilization in other months . Or, it

can reallocate that slot pair to American, which will operate a daily, year

- round B77 2

service on the Los Angeles

- Haneda route to the benefit of consumers

.

A. Delta’s Current Us e of a U.S.

- Haneda Slot Pair for Seattle

- Haneda

Does Not Maximize the Public Benefits

A short review of the history of Delta’s “use” of this slot pair is very telling. In

the original (first) U.S.

- Haneda Combination Services Allocation Proceeding in 2010,

Delta proposed Detroit

- Haneda service. It promised that the service would operate

### Application o f American Airlines, Inc.

Page 7 of 1 2

dai ly. 8 

### It promised that it would operate the service with B 747

- 400 aircraft with 403

seats. 9 

### It promised that the combination of Los Angeles or Seattle (for which it also

applied) and Detroit service to Haneda would enable it to cover the entire United State s

–

the U.S. western/mountain r egion via Los Angeles or Seattle and the U.S. eastern region

via Detroit. 10 

### The Department relied on Delta’s service promises and commitments in

allocating this slot pair to Delta to operate Detroit

- Haneda service. Ex s . AA

- 3 0 1

- 304

.

Delta did not deliver what it promised. No sooner was the ink dry on the

Department’s Order than Delta pulled the 403

- seat B747

- 400 from the Detroit route after

just 37 flights. After the two month service hiatus caused by the tragic tsunami, Del ta

resumed service but with a significantly smaller 269

- seat B777. Th e B777 aircraft also

proved too large for Detroit

- Haneda so, after just another three months of operations and

76 flights, Delta eliminated service for almost eight months . Then

, w hen it resumed

service for summer 2012, it once again downgauged the Detroit

- Haneda aircraft to a 241

-

seat A330

- 200 aircraft. Exhibit AA

- 302 shows the effects of the downgrade and Delta’s

performance over time.

Delta thus failed to follow through on its two “ Detroit P romises”

– B747 aircraft

and daily service. Additionally, Delta’s promised “dual gateway/dual geography/dual

access” plan never materialized due to the failure of the Detroit gateway

– a nother Delta

“Detroit P romise” unfulfilled.

### Application o f American Airlines, Inc.

Page 8 of 1 2

M onths later, De lta petitioned the Department to switch the U.S. gateway for this

Haneda slot pair from Detroit to Seattle. By applying for Seattle, Delta set up a situation

in which it had two west coast gateways that overlap and compete with one an other for

Haneda traf

fic ( i.e., Los Angeles and Seattle), 11 

### and two Seattle

- Tokyo routes (one to

Haneda, one to Narita) that also overl ap an d compete with each other. Exhibit Series 300

graphically shows the degradation in Delta’s U.S.

- Haneda services over time.

Delta’s prom ises about its Seattle

- Haneda service, like its promises about Detroit

service, were forgotten almost as soon as the Department’s approval was finalized.

Delta’s first “Seattle Promise”

– the promised B767

- 300ER

– was downgraded to a B767

with fewer seats

. Ex. AA

- 30 9

. Delta’s second “Seattle Promise”

– to operate daily, year

round service

– was not only broken, but broken in the extreme. In fact, Delta has not

operated daily scheduled Seattle

- Haneda service since November

. The result can only be

described as: SEATLESS IN SEATTLE

. Exhibits AA

- 304 and AA

- 310

- 314 show

graphically the story of a carrier allowing a service to deteriorate over time. Delta is

neglecting the Seattle

- Haneda route (evidenced by very low load factor s)

, but not the

Seattle

- Narita route, which Delta continues to operate on a daily scheduled basis (at very

high load factors)

. Exs. AA

- 322

- 323

.

Delta does not attempt to justify the abdication of its responsibility to the

Department and the travelling public to provide the promised daily scheduled service but,

instead, to provide no service at all in winter and irregular service patterns during other

parts of the year. Rather, Delta says that

, because it is meeting the Department’s

11 Ex . AA

- 318 , showing the overlap markets juxtaposed with the Seattle

- specific markets.

### Application o f American Airlines, Inc.

Page 9 of 1 2

dormancy rules , the Departm ent cannot do anything about its abuse of a valuable slot

pair , irrespective of the public interest. Indeed

, Delta now threatens that, if the

Department tries to do something about it, it will take the Department to court. ( See

Delta Pet. for Reconsidera tion at 8 , Dec. 23, 2014)

.

With respect to Delta’s Seattle

- Haneda performance, the facts show that:

 Delta down

- gauged the B767 configuration it promised

, to a configuration

with approximately six percent fewer seats; 12



###  Delta will have operated the route only 41 percent of the time

– 421 flights

in 1034 days (through March 31, 2015); 13



###  Delta will have gone for nearly three m onths without offering a single

flight

– from November 23, 2014 to February 13, 2015; 14



###  Delta will have operated seven or fewer flights in three months

– November 2014 (seven flights), February 2015 (seven flights) and March

2015 (three flights) ; 15 

### and

 Delta will have operated only 17 flights in a 182

- day period. 16



### Delta may have provided just enough service to keep the frequencies from

automatically reverting to the Department, but, nevertheless , it has eviscerated the public

interest of making full and effective use of a scarce resource. Delta’s use of a valuable

Haneda slot pair to operate a seasonal service, where it (1) operates a paltry 17 flights in a

182

- day span ; (2) does not operate for m onths at a time ; and (3) operates the smallest

aircraft type capable of nonstop Seattle

- Tokyo service is not maximizing the public

benefits of a scarce resource.

B

. Delta’s Self

- Se rving Retention of a Haneda Slot Pair, Which it i s Woefully Und erusing, i s Thwarting Department Goals of Increasing

Consumer Choice and Competition Among Carriers

Not only is the United States not realizing the maximum aviation or economic

benefits achieva ble by the proper use of this resource, but Delta’s non

- use/ underuse of

the slot pair and its unwillingness (or refusal) to return it also thwarts the public interest

by keeping it from being put to a higher and better use. Delta’s actions are inhibiting an

increase in robust competition in many ways.

First

, Delta is hindering inter

- U.S. carrier competition. American is the only U.S.

airline serving Japan that has no Haneda authority. By hoarding a Haneda slot pair that it

is using only sporadically (at best) , Delta is preventing American from using that slot pair

to provide daily year

- round service from Los Angeles and, in the process, inject a new

U.S. competitor to Haneda.

Second

, Delta is also thwarting overall carrier competition in U.S.

- Haneda

markets . Every U.S. and Japanese carrier serving the Transpacific route

, except

American, has Haneda authority

– Delta, United Air Lines, Inc. (“United”) , Hawaiian

Airlines, Inc. , J apan A irlines Co. Ltd. (“JAL”) , and All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd.

(“ ANA ” ). Ex. AA

- 207. By preventing American from operating Haneda service , Delta

is keeping a vigorous and importa nt competi tor out of the market, and depri ving

consumers of an additional travel option.

Third

, American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service will provide vi gorous and

beneficial U.S. carrier competition to the Los Angeles

- Haneda service s operated by Delta

and ANA. Ex. AA

- 400.

### Application o f American Airlines, Inc.

Page 11 of 1 2

Fourth , a t Los Angeles, both the SkyTeam and Star alliances (through the Haneda

services of Delta and ANA, respectively) are present. There is no Los Angeles

- Haneda

service available on one world, al though Los Angeles is the largest U.S.

- Haneda O&D

market. Ex s . AA

- 203 & AA

- 208. By allowing American to operate its proposed Los

Angeles

- Haneda service, the Department will be injecting complete, three

- way alliance

competition in the largest Haneda O&D market from the U.S.

Finally , b y preventing American from operating the Los Angele s

- Haneda route,

Delta is stymieing beneficial inter

- gateway and inter

- alliance competition between

American at Los Angeles and United at San Francisco

.

C

. American Will Make Full and Effective U se of the U.S.

- Haneda Slot

Pair

In contrast to Delta’s record of performance in both Detroit and Seattle,

American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service will fully utilize the slot pair and will provide

superior economic and public interest benefits:

 American will use the largest aircraft for Los Angeles

- Haneda service ( B772

with 247 seats)

– larger by 19 percent and 39 seats tha n Delta’s B767 and

larger by 11 percent and 2 4 seats than ANA’s B777 ; 17



###  American’s B772 at Los Angeles will be larger than the B767 that Delta uses

at Seattle

– by 3 6 seats and 17 percent ; 18



###  American’s B772 will provide nearly three times more cargo capaci ty than

Delta’s Seattle B767, which is an important and valuable benefit to shippers in

the largest trading region of the world

– Asia

– and, on an annual basis, one

million more pounds of ca rgo capacity than D elta’s Seattle B767 ; 19

### Application o f American Airlines, Inc.

Page 12 of 1 2

 American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service will provide more unique

connections in both directions than Delta’s Seattle

- Haneda service (all of
which, it should be noted, overlap and duplicate the connections on Delta’s

Seattle

- Narita service) ; 20 

### and

 The size of American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda unique connecting market

Tokyo O&D is twice the size of Delta’s Seattle

- Haneda unique connecting

market

. 21



### Clearly, under any measure of “maximizing public benefits,” American’s

propo sed daily year

- round B772 Los Angeles

- Haneda service is immeasurably superior

to Delta’s current irregular, sporadic Seattle

- Haneda service. American ’s service will

inj ect and increase competition among airlines and alliances and provide greater choice

fo r consumers.

W herefore, American respectfully urges the Department of Transportation to

expeditiously grant its application to use one U.S.

- Haneda slot pair at Los Angeles, and

to grant such other or further relief as the Department deems appropriate.

American’s Responses to the Department’s Information Requests

Information Request 1 ( S ervice P roposal). American will provide year

- round

daily nonstop service between Haneda and Los Angeles International Airport.

American’s proposed schedule complies with the Haneda curfew and times vary

according to seasonal weather patterns.

American’ s proposed schedule will be:

Summer 2015 Schedule

Route Departure Time (local) Arrival Time (local)

LAX to HND 18:30 22:30 +1

HND to LAX 00:00 18:30

### As well established, under the current U.S.

- Japan Memorandum of Understanding,

operations between the U.S. and Haneda are permitted between 22:00 and 07:00, except

that departures from Haneda to U.S.

- mainland points are not allowed prior to midnight.

These schedules also depend on actual slot availability at Haneda. While the normal

service start

- up conditions request by the Department is 90 days, American recognizes

the value of this scarce resource and commits to sta rt service 60 days after the issuance

by the Department of a Final Order

. American will make every effort to start earlier than

its 60

- day commitment, but, realistically and operationally, accelerating this already

accelerated schedule may not be possible.

Am erican’s service will provide convenient both

- direction connections between

Haneda and 2 5 U.S. cities through its W est C oast gateway, Los Angeles , in the summer

season and 32 cities in the winter season . The connections will serve consumers across

every r egion of the lower 48 states , including major U.S. population centers such as

schedules and elap sed times. There are no commercially viable beyond

- Haneda markets.

American proposes to operate using the service with B772 aircraft. Initially, the

aircraft will be in a 247

- passenger configuration: 16 First Class, 37 Business Class, and

194 Economy Cl ass. First and Business Class feature lie

- flat seats, and all classes feature

in

- seat entertainment. Ex. AA

.

Throughout 2015, American will continue the investmen t in its product and will

phase in a new 260

- seat configuration on the B772 fleet. The 260

- seat configuration will

consist of 45 Business Class, 55 Main Cabin Extra, and 160 Economy seats. The new

Business Class product will feature new, personal Business Suites, each having a larger

lie

- flat bed than existing seats and direct aisle access. Main Cabin Extra seating will

provide customers with up to six more inches of legroom. Finally, each seat on the

aircraft will be equipped with a power outlet, USB port, and on

Response s to DOT information requests

Page 3 of 5

shown in E xhibit s AA

- 103 and AA

- 22 2 , American’s B772 will have at least 20 tons of

cargo capacity.

Information Request 2 ( E xisting S ervice). Currently, American offers nonstop

service between Tokyo’s Narita airport and Chicago ( 5x/6x per week ), Dallas ( twice

daily), and Los Angeles (daily). American’s one world partner J apan A irlines Co. Ltd.

(“JAL”) operates both Haneda and Narita to the Uni ted States. Under a code

- sharing

arrangement between American and J AL , approved by the Department, JAL displays the

JL designator code on each of American’s U.S.

- Tokyo flight s on a year round basis

. ( See

DOT

- OST

- 1999

- 4994, Notice of Action Taken, Februar y, 18, 1999.) I n addition,

American places its AA designator code on a year round basis on flights operated by JAL

between Tokyo (Haneda) and Honolulu and San Francisco, and between Tokyo (Narita)

and other U.S. points, including Boston, Chicago, Honolulu , Los Angeles, and San

Diego.

Information Request 3 ( Public B enefits). The public benefits are more

thoroughly described at pages 5

- 11 of the Application and at Exhibit AA

- 401 . In

summary, American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service will provide competitive access to

many new U.S. markets, will increase consumer choice in existing markets, and will

proposed service wil l increase competition and maximize the benefits from the

Haneda slot pairs . At Los Angeles, American will compete with Delta and All
Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (“ ANA ”) , as well as with United Air Lines, Inc.
(“United”) at San Francisco. Additionally, the one world alliance will gain a Los

Angeles

- Haneda service for the first time, increasing inte r

- alliance competition

with Delta ( SkyT eam Alliance ) and ANA (Star Alliance).

American will provide access to more connecting markets from Los Angeles than

American ’ s service will contribute to American ’s expan sion of its Los Angeles

hub. Since 2013, it has added several new nonstop flights serving both domestic
and international destinations. As part of American’s efforts to cement its status

as a leading global airline, it is investing millions of doll ars to transform and

expand its Los Angeles operation. American will continue to make significant

investments at Los Angeles, including broadening its route network and

enhancing its facilities. Ex. AA

Testimony of J. 

## S cott Kirby

President

Ja nuary 5

, 2015

My name is J. 

### Scott Kirby and I am the President of American Airlines, Inc

. ("American").

On behalf of American

, and American's 1 00

, 000+ dedicated emp l oyees

, I am proud to su bmi t this

testimony in support of our ap pli cat ion to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the allocation

of one slot pair to serve Tokyo's Haneda International Airport on a daily basis from Los Ange l es, California, beginning promptly after the issuance of a Final Order by the Department.

Am e rican appreciates that the Department will make it s deci s ion in this carrie r- selection

proceeding on the basis of what is the highest and best use of the scarce and highly valuable Haneda

slot pair for the benefit of consumers and competition. The Department has consistently strived to

make deci s ions that allow more choices for consumers by creatin g an environment in which all

carrier s hav e opportunities to compe t e.



### In thi s proceeding

, the Department will have the ability not only to consider the best use of

this Haneda

. s lot pair

, but also will have the opportunity to enhance consumer benefits in the key

U.S.-Japan market by providing more competition for the incumbent carriers. My testimony

focuses on the commitment of American to provide a strong competitive balance in the U.S.-Asia

market and to maximize the publ ic benefits of the scarce resource ofHaneda slot pairs

.



### Background

After its merger with US Airways, American is the l argest U.S. airline, operating nearly



### 6,700 flights around the globe, to more than 

### 335 locations 

### in more than 

### 50 countries. While these

are impressive statistics

, we stil l have much to do to achieve our goal of reestablishing American as

the world ' s greatest airline, providing industry leading service to all parts of the world and offering

a great product for customers. Indeed

, our current marketing campaign centers on our " Going for

Great. "

We ha v e a lot of work in front of us and one of the greatest cha ll enges is increasing

American ' s footprint in Asia It is no secret that American trails Delta and United in terms of our

Asia presence and

, thus, our ability to provide our cu s tomers with greater service options and travel

choices. Some of this is due to historical reasons that have

, as a practical and legal matter,

precluded American from competing on an even footing with United and Delta, w hi ch, through

their acquisition of Pan American's Asian routes and Northwest

, respectively

, inh erited incumbencyPage 2 

### of 4



### status in Japan and a many decades headstart on American. It 

### is therefore absolutely necessary that

we build American's Asia presence so we can offer consumers greater choices and be able to

compete with Delta and United. This is, in fact, our top international priority at American.

No airline can have a strong presence in Asia without having a strong presence in Japan

, and

specifically in Tokyo- one of Asia's premier business and leisure destinations. Now that Han eda

has re-opened to services between Tokyo and the U.S., in order to have a meaningful presence in

Tokyo, service to Han eda is a necessity. Like LaGuardia in New York and Reagan National in

Washington, D.C.

, Haneda is close to downtown, and heavily business-oriented, making it a popular

airport for travel in and out of Tokyo. Today

, American is the only U.S. global network carrier that

cannot operate its own aircraft at Haneda, depriving our customers from the service options and

convenie nce available to Delta and United customers.

Moreover, as demonstrated in our exhibits, as I briefly describe below, and as more fully

explained in the testimony of Andrew P. Nocella

, American's Senior Vice President and Chief

Marketing Officer

, not only is the grant of American's application in this proceeding critical to our development of Tokyo

, and our overall Asia presence

, it also fulfills the Department's overriding

objective of maximizing the public benefits by providing: (1) superior consumer travel options and

choices; (2) superior competitive benefits by injecting a new competitor at Haneda; (3) new intragateway competition at LAX; (4) additional inter-gateway competition between LAX and SFO; (5)

first-time inter-alliance com petition at LAX among all three alliances ; and (6) a se rvice that will 

### use

the Haneda slot pair 365 days a year.

A New American Strategy for Asia Post-Merger with**~S Airways** 



### Before the American-US Airways merger was completed

, many hours were spent undertaking a thorough review of American and US Airways' services and strategy around the

world, including the Asia-Pacific region. This examination provided a blueprint of where the new

American was well-positioned, but also showed where we needed to improve the network. This

review, in which I was deeply involved

, permitted a fresh look and a new perspective to the service

deficit facing the new American in Asia. Completing this study enabled us to hit the ground

running, and to immediately begin implementin g an enhance d Asia-Pacific strategy for American.

Our analysis identified four major areas of improvement that would help us fulfill our goal

of achieving a market penetration le vel in As i a that is competitive with Delta and United: (1) a deeper overall Asia presence and service pattern; (2) a return as soon as possible to Toky o's most
important airport

, Haneda; (3) enhanced focus on American's Los Angeles hub as an Asian

gateway; and (4) and substant ial investment in product upgrade from airports to aircraft and checkin lobbies to inflight entertainment-- investments essential to attract new customers and retain our loyal customers for th ese long-haul flights and to enhance all of our customers' experience, from

before the flight is booked until their checked bags are delivered.

Consistent with our priorities, American has already made progress in 

### the first of these areas (see the next section) and the fourth (see the section below). Gaining access to Haneda in 

### this

proceeding would accomplish the second objective and is a key building block in the development

of the third objective.

### Page 3 of4



### American's Asia-Pacific Expansion

The first 1 2 months since the merger have seen American already expanding and

strengthening its presence in the Asia-Pacific**regio~** 

### one of the world's fastest growing aviation

areas

, and providing consumers greater travel options and opportunit ie s. Specifically, in 2014

alone

, American:

• Inaugurated new daily Dallas /Fort Worth (DFW) -Hon g Kong nonstop service to the

American route network;

• Inaugurated daily DFW-Shangbai service, complementing American's existing service

from Chicago and Los Angeles;

• Received Department of Transportation authority to begin a new daily flight between

DFW and Beijing in May 2015; and,

• Improved schedules, beginning in summer 2015, on our current U .S.-China services,

with t h e acquisition of better slot times in Beijin g and Shanghai.

The next step is to fill the remaining critical gap

- service to Haneda, where American

currently bas no slot pair allocation, and

, thus

, is unable to provide its own service, unable to provide consumers with greater travel options and unable to provide competition to Delta and

United.
·



### American's Investment and Expansion at its Los Angeles Hub

American is the largest carrier at Los Angeles, and i s developing LAX as its West Coast

gateway to better compete l ong-term with Delta and United, both which already benefit from strong

gateways on the West Coast- Seattle and San Francisco

, respectively, as well as the large number

of Asian airlines serv ing LAX. Indeed, in 2014, we added five new destinations and seven new flights to our Los Angeles hub. We have also invested in our infrastructure by transforming and

reinventing our Los Angeles facilities, all to provide more effic ient and more enjoyable travel
experiences for all consumers.



### American's Investment in 

### Fleet Overhaul

After taking delivery of nearly 100 new aircraft in 2014, American already has the youngest

fleet of the globa l U.S. air carriers. Yet, our work i s not done. American is investing billions in

creating a fleet that offers our customers a world-class travel experience, and will enable the new

American to more proudly represent the United States around the g lobe. This year, American will

take delivery of 112 new aircraft, including the B787

, and an additional 84 new aircraft in 

### 2016.

### Page 4 of4



### In addition to taking delivery of new aircraft

, we are refurbishing our Boeing 777

- 200, 767-

300, and 757 fleets with new seats, refreshed cabins, and onboard power outlets

- improvements

that will enhance the inflight experiences of all consumers. When complete

, nearly every American

intercontinental wide-body jet will 

### feature fully lie-flat seats with direct aisle access in premium

cabins, and nearly all American aircraft, including our large regional jets, will 

### have WiFi capability.

We have made great progress in our goal of enhancing the travel experiences available to

both bu s iness and leisure passengers. Yet, what American has achieved so far in the Asia-Pacific

region, at Los Angeles International Airport, and in renewing and upgrading its product is not the

culmination of our work, it is only the start. We have much more work to do, and we will do it; but

the first international network priority we must address to provide greater options to the traveling

public is the lack of any Haneda service by American.

American's Superior Haneda Proposal



### This proceeding is a critical step, not only to fulfill our objective to compete directly at

Haneda

, but to ensure that the public benefits from these limited resources are maximized.

Our proposed daily year-round Boeing 777 service wi ll give millions of travelers and

shippers a new , v iable travel option to Haneda that th ey don ' t have t oday. As more fully explained

by Mr. Nocella, American's proposed Haneda service also will pro v ide substantial inter-carrier

competition to the two largest U.S. carriers serving Asia, Delta and United, as we ll as to the

Japanese and third country airlines serving LAX; provide inter-alliance competition to SkyTeam

and Star A lli ance; and provide real, meaningful inter- and intra-gateway competition. Only an

allocation
· to American will maximize the public benefits and produce the greatest consumer

benefits and the greatest economic "return" on the utilization of the scarce national resource of

Haneda slot pairs.

We have come a long way injust one year since our merger. We are all proud of what the

new American has achieved to this point, but we are equally exci ted about what the future

achievements will mean for American, for competition, for our customers and for all travelers and

consumers, as well as the cargo shipper community. On behalf of the millions of American

customers and over 1 00,000 proud American employees, we look forward to building on these

achievements as a new competitor at Tokyo's Haneda airport in 2015 and respectfully request the

Department to allocate to American the Haneda slot pair that is the subject of this proceeding to

allow American to operate a daily, year-round B777 service from Los Angeles to Haneda

Thank you.

Respectfully Submitted,

Testimony of Andrew P. Nocella

Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer

January 5, 2015

My name is Andrew P. Nocella, and I am the Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing

Officer of American Airlines, Inc. I submit this testimony in support of American's application to

the U.S. Department of Transportation for the award of one slot pair to serve Tokyo's Haneda

International Airport on a daily basis from Los Angeles, California

, beginning in 2015.

As the testimony of American's President

, Scott Kirby

, indicates, expanding American's

current level of services offered in Asia is a top priority for the new American. In Mr. 

### Kirby ' s testimony

, he describes the efforts that the new American has undertaken to begin the process of

enlarging American ' s presence in this most important region of the world

, and one in which

, historicall y, American has lacked a presence sufficient to compete with Delta and United. As the

senior officer with full 

### responsibility for American ' s network and commercial offerings

, I concur

with everything that Mr. 

### Kirby states, but especially the importance we at American place on building up our Asia service offering for the benefit of consumers and shippers.

Importance of Haneda Service to American

We have in the one year since the merger, and the start of the new American, achieved a lot.

However

, much more remains to be done to give American a strong competitive presence in Asia's

most important markets. Addressing the lack of any American service at all to Haneda is critical to

American ' s Asia presence, enhancing our network to be competitive with United and Delta, and

giving the travelling public meaningful choices. Gaining access to Haneda heads the list of

American ' s top international priorities.

American service to Haneda is critical because having a strong presence in 

### Japan is an

anchor for any U.S. airline ' s Asian service. However, an airline cannot have a strong Asian

presence if it does not have a strong presence in 

### Japan. A strong presence in Japan means a strong

presence in 

### Tokyo. And

, since the reopening of U.S. carrier services to Haneda, a strong presence in

Tokyo requires a presence in Haneda, albeit not a large presence because of the current bilateral

limitations limiting the United States to only four slot pairs

, but at least a presence on a comparable

footing to United and Delta.

This is because Haneda is Tokyo's close-in airport. It is

, by far, the preferred airport for the

business traveler going to or from Japan. All U.S. passenger airlines serving Japan and all Japanese

### Page 2 of 5



### airlines serving the Uni ted States have Haneda authority except for American

. American simply

cannot compete on that basis and provide consumers with greater travel options. Consumers ha ve

no access on American aircraft to Haneda, and the choice for them is to either go to Narita on

American or go to Haned a on an airline other than American. In 

### essence, consumers are deprived

of the ability to have an "American/Haneda" option, and American passengers alone have no ability

to choose between flying into or out ofHaneda or Narita, unlike passen gers on every other U.S. and

Japanese carrier flying between the United States and Japan.

American's Proposed LAX

- Haneda Service Provides Superior Public Benefits to Delta's Very

Infrequent Seattle-Haneda Service



### American's Los Angeles -H aneda service would ful l y ut ili ze the Haneda slots and would
provide superior economic and pub li c interest benefi ts:

• American will utilize the largest aircraft for LAX-Haneda service (B777 with 247 seats)

- larger by 19% and 39 seats t han Delta 's B767 and larger by 11% and 25 seats than

ANA's B777 (Exhibit AA-104; AA

- 213);

• American's B777 at LAX will be larger t han the B767 that Delta uses at Seattle- by 36

seats and 17% (Exhibit AA-1 04; AA-306);

- • · American ' s LAX-Haneda se rvice will provide -more unique connections in both

directions than Delta's Seattle-Haneda service (Exhibit AA-214), (which, I should add,

· ·· overlaps and duplicate the connections on Delta's Seattle

- Narita service

- Exhibit AA317), and more unique connections in both directions than Delta's Los Angeles-Haneda

serv ice (Exhibit AA-218); and,

• American's Los Angeles-Haneda unique connect i ng markets Tokyo O&D generates

200,000 more p assengers than Delta 's Seattle -H aneda unique connecting market Tokyo

O&D (Exhibit AA-2 1 5) and 256,000 more Tokyo O&D than Delta's Los Angeles

Haneda unique connecting market Tokyo O&D (Exhibit AA-219).

In all significant respects, American's plan to use the Haneda slot pair t hat is the subject of thi s proceeding is

, far and away, superior to Delta's on again-off again use of those slots for Se attle

Haneda service. First, with respect to Delta's Seattle-Haneda service, American's direct exhibits

show

, among other things:

• Delta has operated the Seattle-Haneda route 421 days of the possible 1,0 34 days since it
inaugurated that route through March 30, 2015

-- only 41% of the time (Exhibit AA310);

• Delta has operated a daily schedule only four months out of the 22 months that it will

have operated the route through March 2015 (Exhibit AA-313);Page 3 of 5



### • Delta will have gone for weeks and months- in fact 82 days in a row (November 23,

2014 through February 12, 2015) without providing any service on the Seattle-Haneda

route and will operate only 17 flights in 

### the 182 day period from October 1, 2014 to

March 31

, 2015 (Exhibit AA-311); and,

• Delta's load factor on the Seattle-Haneda route, by any standard, is abysmal at 51.1%,

and it is

, by a wide margin, the lowest of all load factors of any service between the

United States and Haneda (Exhibit AA-320).

Delta ' s Seattle-Haneda service speaks for itself: whatever benefits Delta touted about its

Seattle-Haneda service have been eliminated or substantially diminished by Delta ' s non-existent or

minimal flight schedules; Delta ' s woeful utilization of this slot pair is not an optimum, or even a good, use of this valuable resource or a maximization of U.S

. economic benefits; and it does not provide any, let alone robust, competition on any basis deemed important by the Department. It is

hard to inject competition when you don't fly, but it is easy to prevent competition when you deny

others the opportunity to utilize appropriately the scarce Haneda slot pair

, as well as block progress

at the negotiating table.

And

, while Delta maintains control of the Seattle-Haneda slot pair by operating sporadically,

it should be noted that:

• Every other Haneda service

, operated by U.S

. and Japanese carriers alike, operates on a daily basis (Exhibit AA-324, p 5-7);

• Delta continues to operate its Seattle-Narita service on a daily basis and with a larger

aircraft (Exhibit AA-324, p 2); and

• Despite irregular operations

, at best, on the Seattle-Haneda route, Delta continues to

have the most flights between the United States and Tokyo of any airline

, Japanese or

U.S. (Exhibit AA-313)

None of the public or economic benefits that the valuable Haneda flights can provide is being

realized by Delta holding this Haneda slot pair and not utilizing it, day in 

### and day out, week in and

week ou t

, month in and month out. Every other airline operating to Haneda

- U.S., Japanese, or

third country

- is maximizing the benefits of its Haneda slot pair by operating on at least a daily

basis.

Robust Competition Would be Enhanced bv American's Proposed LAX

- Haneda Service



### Delta ' s fai l ure to operate a dai l y service on the Seattle -H aneda route significantly

underutilizes a scarce and valuable aviation resource of the United States. Not only is the U nited

States not realizing the maximum aviation or economic benefits achievable by proper utilization of

this resource, but both the public in terest and competition are being thwarted by Delta's nonutilization and underutilization of the Haneda slot pair and its unwillingness either to operate the

### Page 4 of 5

service on a year-round daily basis or return the Seattle-Haneda s l ot pair so that they can be put a higher and better use. Delta' s actions are inhibiting r obust competition in a number of ways:

• Inter-U.S. carrier compet i tion: Delta is thwart ing inter

- U.S. carrier competition.

American is the only U.S

. airline that has no Haneda authority (Exhibit AA-207). By
retaining a Haneda slot pair which i t is not using in any meaningful or appropriate

fashion, Delta is pre venting American from using that slot pair to pro v ide daily, yearround service from Los Angeles and, in the process, inject a new U.S. competitor to

Haneda.

• Inter-carrier competition: Delta is also thwarting overall carrier competition to Haneda.

Every other U

. S

. and Japanese carrier serving Japan has Haneda authority (Delta,

United, Hawaiian, JAL and ANA) except American (Exhib i t AA-207)

. By preventing

American from operating its proposed LAX-Haneda, Delta is keeping a vigorous and
important competitor out of the market.

• In tra

- gateway competition: Amer i can's Los Angeles-Haneda service will provide real

and beneficial U.S

. carrier competition t o Delta's Los Angeles-Haneda service in the
largest US- Tokyo O&D market, as well as additional intra-gateway competition to ANA

at Los Angeles.

• Intra-gateway alliance competitiOn: At Los Angeles, only the SkyTeam and Star

alliances (through the Haneda services of Delta and ANA, respecti vely) are present.

There is no LAX-Haneda service ava il able on oneworld, even though LAX is the largest

Haned a O&D market in the U

. S

. By allowing American to operate its proposed LAXHaneda service, the Department will be inject i ng complete, three-way alliance
competition in this, the largest Haneda O&D market from the U.S.

• Enhanced inter-gateway, inter-alliance competition: By preventing American from
operating the LAX-Haneda route, Delta is stymieing beneficial inter

- gateway and interalliance competition between American at LAX and United at SFO.

Clearly, by maintaining control of valuable Haneda slot pair that are, unarguably, being

underutilized, at best, and unutilized, at worst, and by shutting American out of Haneda serv i ce at
all, Delta is preventing robust competitive forces to work in the marketplace. This situation also

deprives a substantial segment of the travelling and shipping public -and all of American's

passengers- from having any access to Haneda on American's servi ces. None of this maximizes

the economic benefits to the Unite d States, enhances competition or serves or benefits the

consumer.

As I stated at the beginning of my tes timony, gammg access to Tokyo's Haneda

International Airport is a top American priority. Seeing that the va luable and scarce Haneda slot

assets are utilized in 

### a fashion tha t maximizes consumer benefits, competition and economic

benefits to the entire Unite d States is clearly a Department objective. By allocating to American the

authori t y t o operate Los Angeles-Haneda service, both of these important objectives can be

achieved.Page 5 of 5



### I thank you for the opportunity to present this testimony on behalf of American and on

behalf of our tremendous and caring workforce. We are incredibly fortunate to have had the

opportunity to steward American Airlines to a position of industry leadership and create an



### environment in which its employees are proud to work and an airline on which our customers are proud to fly. The management of American fully intends to continue down this path and to provide

all consumers with the greatest and most passenger friendly services possible. Being able to fly Los

Angeles-Haneda is an 

### important step in fulfilling that objective.

Thank you.

# Series 200:

American’s Proposed Los Angeles

- Haneda

Service is Superior to Delta’s Sporadic Use

of the Haneda Slot Pair on Seattle

- Haneda

## NARRATIVE TO THE 200 SERIES OF EXHIBITS

The 200 S eries of Exhibits details why American ’s proposed Los Angeles

- Haneda service maximizes the public benefits of the

Haneda slot pair under review in this proceeding

, and why the Department should allocate that slot pair to American

. The 200 Series

of E xhibits focus es broadly on the relative size of the Los Angeles

- Tokyo market and

, more specifically

, on the Los Angeles

- Haneda

market. Additionally, the E xhibits demonstrate why Los Angeles merits first

- eve r American and first

- ever one world service to

Haneda. E xhibit s AA

- 201 and AA

- 203 highlight that Los Angeles is the largest c ontinental U.S. market to Tokyo

. Exhibit AA

- 210

demonstrates that the Los Angeles

- Tokyo market is underserved compared to the Seattle

- Tokyo market.

Exhibit s AA

- 20 2, 204, 205 and 206 provide direct comparisons of the broader Los Angeles

- Tokyo market with the Seattle

Tokyo market

, as well as the Los Angeles

- Haneda market with the Seattle

- Haneda market . Exhibit AA

- 206 demonstrates that the Los

Angeles

- H aneda market i s approximately five times the size of the Seattle

- H aneda market. Exhibit s AA

- 211 , 212, and 213 indicate

that Los Angeles

- Haneda is underserved in terms of seats relative to Seattle

- Haneda. These exhibits also demonstrate th at Los

Angeles is seat deficit relative to Seattle

, given the significantly larger Los Angeles

- Tokyo O&D demand than Seattle

- Tokyo . Exhibit

AA

- 213 also shows that A merican would offer the most seats of any carrier flying between Los Angeles and Haneda

, and would offer

more premium seats than Delta.

Exhibits AA

- 207 and 208 depict that American is the only U.S. carrier serving Japan that d oes not have access to Haneda.

Exhibit AA

- 208 similarly illustrates that o ne world is the only alliance without Los Angeles

- Haneda service , and that a n additional

alliance entrant would provide much needed competition to the SkyTeam and Star a lliance s’ Haneda service s at Los Angeles

– the

largest Tokyo O&D market in the continental United States

.

### Exhibit AA

- 21 4 demonstrate s that American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service will connect more unique U.S. behind

- gateway

cities than Delta’ s existing Seattle

- Haneda service . A corollary exhibit, AA

- 21 5

, shows how American ’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service

will generate over 210,000 more O&D passengers than Delta’s current Seattle connecting markets. Exhibit AA

- 216 illustrates that

American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda flight will serve nearly 2.5 times as many unique connecting markets as Hawaiian’ s Honolulu

Haneda ser vice. Exhibit AA

- 21 7 shows that American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda connecting markets will generate 324,000 more O&D

passengers than Hawaiian ’ s Haneda connecting markets. Exhibit AA

- 218 illustrates that American will serve 20 percent more unique

connecting ma rkets than Delta’s exis ting Los Angeles

- Haneda service. Exhibit AA

- 219 shows American’s L os Angeles connecting

markets will generate over 256,000 O&D passengers. Exhibits AA

- 220 shows that American’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service will

s erve six times more unique connecting markets than ANA’s L os Angeles

- Haneda Service , and exhibit AA

- 221 shows that American

will generate almost one million more O&D passengers than ANA’s Los Angeles

- Narita connecting markets.

Exhibit AA

- 2 22 complete s the descrip tion of American ’s Los Angeles

- Haneda service proposal, and shows that American will

offer more cargo capacity for shippers than Delta on the Los Angeles

- Haneda route and almost 20 million more pounds of cargo

capacity annual ly than Delta’s Seattle and Los Angeles services to Haneda

.

The conclusion of this 200 Series of E xhibits is that Los Angeles clearly has substantial unmet demand today for an additional

Haneda service and that

, by al l ocating to A merican the indisputably underutilized slot pair currently used by Delta for Seattle

- Haneda

,

the Department can remedy American ’s and one world’s conspicuous absence from the Los Angeles

- Haneda market ; can increase

competition significantly ; and

, can ensure the maximization of the public benefits of this scarce resource

.

# Series 300
Delta’s History of Serving Haneda:

Numerous Promises, Failed Commitments,

Musical Gateways, Fiction

- Based Excuses
and, Finally, Seatless in Seattle

## NARRATIVE TO THE 300 SERIES OF EXHIBITS

The 200 S eries of Exhibits demonstrate d the superiority of American’s proposed Los Angeles

- Haneda service and the

significant public benefits that service would produce . T he 300 Series of Exh i bits focus es on Delta’s use of its Haneda slot pair

allocation for Seattle

- Haneda and Delta’s significant misuse and underutilization of that slot pair , both at Detroit, which was the

originally selected gateway, and at Seattle.

The 300 S eries of Exhibits describe s t he several commitments Delta made to serve H aneda and its failure s to do so in a manner

that serve s the traveling public. In these Exhibits

, American describes in detail the many commitments that Delta made to the

Department and the traveling public to use the scar c e Haneda resource, and its repeated failure s to do so.

Exhibit AA

- 30 1 illustrates that Delta made the promise to serve the Detroit

- Haneda market with a B 747

- 4 00 aircraft

containing 403 seats, yet downgauged that aircraft to an A330 with only 241 seats, a nearly 60 percent reduction in capacity. Exhibit s

AA

- 302 , AA

- 303, and AA

- 304 show that Delta operated a mere 42 percent of the frequencies promised, and

, when coupled with the

downgauge to the A330

, only 2 9 percent of the seats that it had pledged were offered to customers

.

Exhibit s AA

- 30 5 and AA

- 306 show that Delta’s habit of broken promises continue d , this time in the Los Angeles

- Haneda

market . It took Delta merely 35 days to downgauge the 403

- seat B 747

- 400 to a 269

- seat B 777 in the Los Angeles

- Haneda market

.

Then

, after only six months

, Delta downgauged the aircraft yet again from the B 777 to a 241 seat A330. Finally, since March 2013

,

Delta has operated a 208 seat B 767 ai rcraft. Exhibit AA

- 307 illustrates how Delta is now providing approximately 50 percent of the

seats it pro mised on the Los Angeles

- Haneda route.

### With respect to its current Seattle

- Haneda service, Exhibit s AA

- 30 8

- 314 show how Delta also has not lived up to its

commitments concerning that market. B etween June 1, 2013 and March 31, 2015, Delta will have operated the Seattle

- Haneda route

only 40.8 percent of the time. The E xhibit shows that Delta will operate Seat tle

- Haneda only 17 da ys during a 18 2

- day period

.

W hile ess entially abandoning the Seattle

- Haneda market

, Delta has maintained daily service from Seattle to Tokyo Narita.

Exhibit s AA

- 3 1 5 and AA

- 316 show that Delta has maintain ed it s full Seattle

- Narita schedule and o ffers more than double the number

of seat s o n the Seattle

- Narita route as it offers o n the Seattle

- Haneda route

. Exhibits AA

- 317 through AA

- 319 show how Delta is

competing against itself in both the Seattle market ( servi ng both Narita and Haneda) and the Haneda market (serving both Seattle and

Los Angeles)

.

Exhibit s AA

- 3 20 through AA

- 323 demonstrate the astonishingly low load factor of Delta’s Seattle

- Haneda service compared

to other airlines operating in the U.S.

- Haneda market , and on Delta’s other Tokyo services. In Exhibit AA

- 3 24 , American presents

over 10 pages of evidence that clearly illustrate that , contrary to Delta’s excuse for not providing service in the Seattle

- Haneda market,

nei ther Ha neda nor Tokyo as a whole is a seasonal market.

- Haneda Combination

Services Allocation Proceeding, Docket DOT

Dear Secretary Foxx:

On behalf of the U.S.

- Japan Council, I am writing to convey our strong and

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”). This is a very significant opportunity to enhance the travel, economic

relationships, and continued ties between Japan a nd the United States especially the

Western part of the country.

The U.S.

- Japan Council is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with offices in Los

Angeles and Tokyo. The Council’s mission i s to create active people

- to

- people

relationships to ensure a stro ng relationship between the United States and Japan. As a

leadership organization the Council has Council members throughout the U.S. and Japan

with the largest number in the Western United States. Since the 2011 disasters in the

Tohoku region, the Counc il has administered the TOMODACHI initiative, a public

- private

partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. We have raised nearly $40 million from

Japanese and American companies that has supported over 3,000 young people in cross

cultural leadership and e xchange programs between the U.S. and Japan and served over

10,000 young people in programs within each country. With the interest on the part of both

governments to increase student exchanges, as re

- committed by President Obama and

Prime Minister Abe in their spring 2014 meeting, the ability to increase flights between Los

Angeles and Haneda is critically important.

In addition to the Council’s work on TOMODACHI, the Council sponsors

conferences, symposia, and special events that encourage closer business, government, and

community ties at all levels. We have worked with members of the Japanese Parliament

and the U.S . Congress as well as state legislatures to support greater legislative exchanges.

In November 2015, the Council will hold its Annual Conference in Tokyo Japan, for the firstDC Headquarters Office | 1819 L S treet , NW, S uite 200 | W ashington , DC 20036 | T el : (202) 223

- ever. We are expecting a large attendance of American leaders, including m any Japanese American leaders, who want to ensure that the new opportunities for

collaboration with Japan can be explored and realized. The largest concentration of our

members are in the Southern California area and we know many travel back and forth to

Japan and will plan to attend next year’s Conference.

A merican Airlines has been a strong partner with the U.S.

- Japan Council from our

inception and we would strong ly encourage support for their application. The nonstop

flights to Haneda Airport are scarc e 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, educational and leisure 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 American Airline s ’ service to Haneda

. In 2011,

Japan wa s 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 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 b oth 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

.

Irene Hirano Inouye

Subject: Application o f American Airlines in the U.S.

- Haneda Combination Services

Allocation Proceeding, Docket DOT

- 2010

- 0018

Dear Secretary Foxx:

I am the founder, chairman and chief collaboration officer of IW Group, a minority

- owned and

operated company with offic es in Los Angeles, New York and San Francis co. Our firm

specializes in marketing and advertis ing to Asia n

- American consumers, the fastest growing

segment of the United States population. We employ more than 60 full

- time professionals and

will celebrate our 25 th 

### anniversary next year.

Our company ’ s growth and development is heavily dependent on having accessible, affordable

and regular service to global and domestic markets, including Japan. Since we rely so heavily on

having service to and from Los Angeles Internation al Airport (LAX), we were thrilled to learn

that American Airlin es has applied to secure a slot

- pair from the U.S. Department of

Transportation t o se rve Tokyo International Airpo rt/Haneda Airport (HND) from LAX.

It is very, very difficult for a small, but growing company to secure nonstop service to HND. I

feel very strongly that businesses and consumers should have better access to this airport since

it is often more convenient to fly there than the larger Narita International Airport. It is my

understanding that only three airline companies currently operate daily service at HND , which

does not provide enough options for growing companies such as ours. H aving additio nal

service and acc ess to HND will increase options and positively impact international trade,

tourism, educational and cultural ties and much more.

As you and your colleagues may already know, Los Angeles and Southern California are home to

the largest number of Japanese and Japanese

- American companies in the country. Direct

foreign investment in Los Angeles County by the Japanese has created thousands of jobs and

has fueled our economy for a number of years. In order for the greater Los Angeles area to

### Hon. Anthony R. Foxx

Page 2

remain competitive in an increasingly competitive global world, we must have regular and

convenient access to airports such as HND

Two years ago, I co

- founded a national Asian/Pacific

- Islander American Chamber of Commerce

to address the needs, interests and aspirations of entrepreneurs, business owners and

corporate leaders of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Our organization

strongly believes that future economic development between the U.S. and Asia requires

transportation access to all major Asian markets, including Tokyo. In 2015

- 16, we are planning

at least one trade mission to Japan. Having additional access to HND will help us in promoting

this trade mission to our members and governmental partners.

Since airline slots at HND rarely become availabl e, we strongly urge swift and decisive action by

you and the U.S. Department of Transportation to approve American Airlines ’ proposal to serve

Haneda Airport from Los Angeles International Airport.

I would appreciate a response to this letter. I also re quest being kept informed on the progress

of American Airlines ’ proposal.

Very truly yours,
