Docket OST-2004-19887

NOTICE ON PROCEDURES 

Under the U.S.-Mexico aviation agreement, the United States may
designate up to two U.S. carriers to provide direct-carrier (own
aircraft) combination services in a given U.S.-Mexico city-pair market. 
Brendan Airways, LLC, d/b/a USA 3000 Airlines (USA 3000) and Ryan
International Airlines, Inc. d/b/a SunShip 1 Airlines (Ryan) each have
filed applications to serve the Milwaukee-Cancun market.  Currently,
Northwest Airlines, Inc., holds underlying authority and is designated
to serve the route, leaving one designation opportunity available in
this market.  

A number of responsive pleadings have been filed to the applications. 
Under these circumstances, and in light of the fact that both applicants
have proposed imminent startup dates for these services, and that
bilateral rights are now unused, we intend to proceed directly to a
show-cause order.  The record stands ready for decision.  However, we
believe that the applicants should be able to add information to the
record to ensure its completeness before our tentative decision.

Therefore, acting under authority assigned in 14 CFR 385.3, we will give
USA 3000 and Ryan an opportunity to file any other pertinent information
to support their Milwaukee-Cancun applications.  The additional
information should be filed no later than five (5) business days from
the date of service of this Notice, and should be served on all parties
in the captioned dockets.  

We will serve this notice by electronic mail on all parties to this
proceeding.  We authorize service of documents by facsimile and by
electronic mail.

http://dms.dot.gov//reports/reports_ aviation.asp 

   USA 3000 proposes to serve the Milwaukee-Cancun market with
three-weekly flights, beginning January 16, 2005, and Ryan proposes
four-weekly flights, beginning February 1, 2005.

   In the interest of ensuring a complete record, we grant the December
21, 2004 motion of USA 3000 to file an otherwise unauthorized document
in Docket OST-2004-19806.

   As the applications filed are already ripe and all interested parties
have been served and had an opportunity to file competing requests
and/or responsive pleadings, we will not provide an opportunity for
additional applications here.

   These documents should be filed with the Department of Transportation
(Room PL-401), 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20590, in the
captioned dockets.  Filings should be on 8-1/2” X 11” white paper
using dark ink (not green) and be unbound without tabs, which will
expedite use of our docket imaging system.  In the alternative, filers
are encouraged to use the electronic submission capability available
through the Dockets DMS Internet site:   HYPERLINK "http://dms.dot.gov/"
 http://dms.dot.gov  by following the instructions in the web site.
