AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. HAW AllAN AIRLINES, INC.
In the matter of 2010 U.S.-Haneda Combination Services Allocation Proceeding ) ) ) ) 

### ) Docket DOT-OST-2010-0018 ) ) )



### CONSOLIDATED ANSWER OF THE PORT OF SEATTLE
The Port of Seattle, the owner-operator of Seattle- Tacoma International Airport, ("Seattle") respectfully responds in strong support of a decision by the Department allowing Delta Air Lines ("Delta") to retain Seattle-Haneda service, thereby maintaining significant public benefit through geographic diversity. Reallocating the slots would give priority to the size of the market and result in a perpetual grant of scarce slots to
redundant markets, contrary to the Department's long-standing objective of increasing inter-gateway competition in limited entry markets. Delta's recently established Seattle hub, combined with its Seattle-Haneda slots, provides gateway parity in the U.S.-Haneda marketplace and the only non-stop or one-stop service to Haneda from a previously
unserved geographic region with a strong economy and focus on international trade.

### Consolidated Answer of the Port of Seattle DOT-OST-2010-0018

I. Delta's SEA-HND Slot Pair Provide the Only Haneda Gateway in the Pacific
Northwest Region.
Delta's Seattle-Haneda slot pair offers the only direct connection from the Pacific
Northwest region to Asia with minimum circuity for travelers connecting through
Seattle. 1 While other carriers' proposals may include the Pacific Northwest as a connecting market, residents in the vast region of Washington, Alaska, Oregon, Montana
and Idaho will not choose to travel to the southern gateways only to circuitously travel
back north to Haneda. Once convenient access to Haneda is lost, the Pacific Northwest traveling public will likely choose Seattle-Narita or Vancouver-Haneda over the southern gateways, eliminating the benefits the Pacific Northwest region receives from the
October 25,2010, Memorandum ofUnderstanding between the United States and Japan?
The importance of retaining the Delta-Haneda slots to serve Washington State and
the Pacific Northwest is well expressed in Washington State Governor Jay Inslee's letter

to Secretary Foxx. 3 Revoking Delta's Seattle-Haneda slots and awarding to American or Hawaiian will result in duplicative service to California and Hawaii, states that already enjoy the largest allocation ofU.S.-Haneda slots and will eliminate the competitive
benefit to the region's travelers. 4 Loss of the Seattle service will also greatly
inconvenience Pacific Northwest travelers, since Delta has already sold Seattle-Haneda flights beginning March, 2015 and beyond.

II. Seattle is the Fastest Growing West Coast Airport and Should Not Lose Haneda Service for Perpetuity.
Seattle is the fastest growing large hub airport in the country, with a passenger increase of7.5% between 2013 and 2014. 5 Since the year 2000, the number ofpassengers going through Seattle grew 32% while Los Angeles ("LAX") saw a growth of only 3%, indicating some level of market saturation. 6 Long-haul international services have been especially strong, with the growth of intercontinental passengers reaching over 110% in
the last 1 0 years. 7 Similarly, the City of Seattle is the fastest growing city in the United States with

one of the nation's strongest economies. 8 Contrary to data indicating the LAX market is
under-served and under-utilized, the Seattle region is the most under-served in long-haul
international service capacity in relation to the regional gross domestic product ("GDP"). 9 Stripping away the valuable Haneda slots from Seattle's strong and growing market and reallocating them to states that already enjoy multiple Haneda service would be contrary

to the public interest.


### III. The Case for a Seattle-Haneda Slot Pair is Stronger Today With Delta's Recently Established Seattle Hub.
Since the launch of the Seattle-Haneda flight in 2013, Delta has built Seattle into

a West Coast hub. From August 2013 to August 2015, Delta will have increased its
domestic seats in Seattle by 91% and its daily departures from 47 to 120, 85 of which will

connect to Delta's Haneda flight. 10 Delta's continued expansion in Seattle will clearly
result in increased passenger demand for the Seattle-Haneda service.


### IV. The Department's 2013 public interest findings in awarding the SEA-HND frequency to Delta are even more compelling today and there is no cause to revisit
those findings.
In granting Delta's motion to move its Detroit-Haneda slot pair to Seattle (Order 2013-2-4), the Department made final its tentative findings of public interest set forth in
Order 2012-11-12. Those findings remain compelling today:

• "

... Delta's proposal would best serve the public interest by providing the first nonstop Haneda service on a significant mainland U.S-Tokyo route that currently
lacks any such service, thereby establishing a new U.S. gateway to Haneda."

• "

... Delta's proposed service would further serve the public interest by providing

a number of western cities with a first one-stop connecting opportunity to Haneda."

• "

... [O]ther cities that now enjoy one-stop connections over more southerly gateways would gain the option of service over a less circuitous northwest gateway."

• "Allowing Delta to move from Detroit to Seattle would also advance one ofthe prime objectives we sought to achieve

... , namely, seeking with our limited
number of Haneda opportunities to address a diversity of public interest goals."

• "

... [B]rings first-time Haneda service and first U.S.-flag Haneda service to the sixth-largest 

### 0 & D market, while also promoting the geographic diversity of the

10 Exhibit SEA-112: Delta destinations added in 2013 and 2014 from SEA

### Consolidated Answer of the Port of Seattle DOT -OST -2010-0018

U

. S.-Haneda gateways,

... consistent with our established approach for the award
of limited Haneda slot opportunities that would serve the public interest."

• "

. . . Los Angeles already has two daily nonstop flights to Haneda. Delta serves Los Angeles-Haneda with its own flights, and United offers Los Angeles-Haneda
service through its code share with ANA. Given the very limited opportunities for
U.S

. carrier service to Haneda, we tentatively do not find American's arguments persuasive for adding more Haneda service at Los Angeles while other significant
U

. S.- Tokyo gateways have no access to Haneda."

• "

.. . the State of Hawaii now enjoys three of the eight total U.S.-Haneda routeopportunities available to U

. S. and Japanese carriers." Consistent with our ongoing goal of using our limited Haneda rights to address a variety of public
interest objectives, including the objective of geographically diverse gateways , we tentatively find that the public interest would be better served by opening Haneda nonstop access to a new region of the country , the Pacific Northwest, than by allocating a fourth Haneda route to Hawaii."


### V. The Public Interest Would Not be Served by Reallocating Delta's SeattleHaneda Slots.
Delta's Seattle-Haneda service provides vital competition to the ATI alliances
with Japanese carriers and increases the geographic options for travelers in the Pacific
Northwest region. Delta's Seattle-Haneda service is less than 2 years old

. The familiarity
of Seattle travelers with this route is not yet optimal. Seattle is working closely and in

unique ways with Delta sales and marketing to improve and further develop this valuable

route for the region. 11

Neither American nor Hawaiian disputes that Delta is operating its SeattleHaneda slots in full compliance with the Department's dormancy conditions. As such, it
would be unlawful and unwise to summarily withdraw slots from Seattle and reallocate
them to another gateway.
As the airport owner and a regional economic catalyst, the Port of Seattle respectfully requests the Department to preserve and maximize the benefits to the public by maintaining Delta's Haneda frequencies in Seattle.

Respectfully submitted,
PORT OF SEATTLE
