  • December 2019(Opens in New Window)
    Monthly Statistical Report To: Thomas Bartlett, Interim Aviation Director From: Brian Pratte, Chief Air Service Development Officer Copies: San Antonio Regional Stakeholders Subject: December 2019 Monthly Statistics Date: January 28, 2020 AIRPORT ACHIEVES RECORD PASSENGERS IN 2019 SUMMARY San Antonio International Airport (SAT) continued its impressive upward trajectory with another year of record passengers in 2019. A total 10,363,040 passengers flew through SAT during the year, exceeding 2018 levels by nearly 320,000 or 3.2%. For the year, domestic traffic increased 2.7% despite challenges faced by the worldwide grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX, while international traffic increased a remarkable 12.6% with all international carriers reporting double- digit growth. In 2019, SAT welcomed Sun Country Airlines with service to Las Vegas, Minneapolis and Portland, OR as well as new nonstop service to New York-JFK by American Airlines. Additionally, multiple airlines expanded their existing service to several critical markets including Chicago O’Hare, Denver, Guadalajara, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Newark and Seattle with added frequencies and/or increased aircraft size. In December 2019, the airport recorded 888,086 total passengers, the highest of any December on record and a 1.4% increase compared to the same month last year. Domestic traffic rose slightly by 0.8% while international traffic increased 13.8%, driven, in part, by capacity increases by all the airport’s Mexican carriers for the busy holiday travel season. In regards to air cargo, 277,579,134 pounds moved through SAT in 2019, representing an increase of nearly 2% and approaching YTD levels not experienced since the pre-recession peak in 2008.

  • Consultation on the Application of an Anticipated Merger Between Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Asiana
    Anticipated Merger between Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Asiana Airlines, Inc. Reference Number : MAVCOM/ED/CC/DIV4/2021(1) Application : Voluntary Notification and Application for an Anticipated Merger under section 55 of Act 771 Applicant(s) : Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. and Asiana Airlines, Inc. Receipt of Application : 19 March 2021 Summary of Application : Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. (“KE”), on behalf of KE and Asiana Airlines, Inc. (“OZ”) (collectively, “the Merger Parties”), sent a voluntary notification and application for an anticipated merger (“Anticipated Merger”). The purpose of the Anticipated Merger is for the rehabilitation of OZ. The Merger Parties note that KE’s merger with OZ would not result in substantial lessening of competition (“SLC”) as KE will continue to face intense competition and will remain subject to competitive restraints on its flights to and from Malaysia. The Merger Parties also note that the Anticipated Merger is expected to give rise to significant economic efficiencies. The Merger Parties submit that the relevant service markets in this case are the following origin and destination (“O&D”) city pair routes relating to passenger air transport services: a. Incheon International Airport (“ICN”) and Gimpo International Airport (“GMP”, collectively with ICN, “SEL”)-Kuala Lumpur International Airport (“KLIA”) and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (“SZB”, collectively with KLIA, “KUL”); b. SEL-Kota Kinabalu International Airport (“BKI”); c. SEL-Senai International Airport (“JHB”); and d. Busan (“PUS”)-BKI. Of the O&D city pair routes above, the Merger Parties have identified only one overlap in their passenger transport services namely on the SEL-BKI O&D pair route.

Before the mega- Alliances, there was interlining, facilitated by IATA Like dogs marking territory, airlines around the world are sniffing each other's tail fins looking for partners." Daniel Riordan “The hardest thing in working on an alliance is to coordinate the activities of people who have different instincts and a different language, and maybe worship slightly different travel gods, to get them to work together in a culture that allows them to respect each other’s habits and convictions, and yet work productively together in an environment in which you can’t specify everything in advance.” Michael E. Levine “Beware a pact with the devil.” Martin Shugrue Airline Motivations For Alliances • the desire to achieve greater economies of scale, scope, and density; • the desire to reduce costs by consolidating redundant operations; • the need to improve revenue by reducing the level of competition wherever possible as markets are liberalized; and • the desire to skirt around the nationality rules which prohibit multinational ownership and cabotage. Intercarrier Agreements · Ticketing-and-Baggage Agreements · Joint-Fare Agreements · Reciprocal Airport Agreements · Blocked Space Relationships · Computer Reservations Systems Joint Ventures · Joint Sales Offices and Telephone Centers · E-Commerce Joint Ventures · Frequent Flyer Program Alliances · Pooling Traffic & Revenue · Code-Sharing Code Sharing The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedule, generally the 2-character IATA carrier designator code and flight number. Thus, XX123, flight 123 operated by the airline XX, might also be sold by airline YY as YY456 and by ZZ as ZZ9876.

  • Airline Alliances
    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2011 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Open Skies • 1992 - the United States concluded the first second generation “open skies” agreement with the Netherlands. It allowed KLM and any other Dutch carrier to fly to any point in the United States, and allowed U.S. carriers to fly to any point in the Netherlands, a country about the size of West Virginia. The U.S. was ideologically wedded to open markets, so the imbalance in traffic rights was of no concern. Moreover, opening up the Netherlands would allow KLM to drain traffic from surrounding airline networks, which would eventually encourage the surrounding airlines to ask their governments to sign “open skies” bilateral with the United States. • 1993 - the U.S. conferred antitrust immunity on the Wings Alliance between Northwest Airlines and KLM. The encirclement policy began to corrode resistance to liberalization as the sixth freedom traffic drain began to grow; soon Lufthansa, then Air France, were asking their governments to sign liberal bilaterals. • 1996 - Germany fell, followed by the Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Malta, Poland. • 2001- the United States had concluded bilateral open skies agreements with 52 nations and concluded its first multilateral open skies agreement with Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. • 2002 – France fell. • 2007 - The U.S. and E.U. concluded a multilateral “open skies” traffic agreement that liberalized everything but foreign ownership and cabotage. • 2011 – cumulatively, the U.S. had signed “open skies” bilaterals with more than100 States. Multilateral and Bilateral Air Transport Agreements • Section 5 of the Transit Agreement, and Section 6 of the Transport Agreement, provide: “Each contracting State reserves the right to withhold or revoke a certificate or permit to an air transport enterprise of another State in any case where it is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control are vested in nationals of a contracting State .

The agreement, signed today, deepens their historic partnership, which spans nearly two decades. “Together, Delta and Korean Air are building a world-class partnership that will offer more destinations, outstanding airport facilities and an unmatched customer experience on the trans-Pacific,” said Ed Bastian, Delta’s CEO. “By combining the strengths of our two companies, we are building a stronger airline for our employees, customers and investors.” “Now is the right time for this JV. The synergies we’re creating will build stronger and more sustainable companies, and this is good for travelers, our companies and our countries,” said Korean Air Chairman, Y.H. Cho. The agreement is the latest expansion of the longstanding partnership between Delta and Korean Air, which began in 2000 when both carriers became co-founders of the SkyTeam global airline alliance. This agreement follows the airlines’ signing of a memorandum of understanding in March announcing the intention to form a joint venture. The joint venture will create a combined network serving more than 290 destinations in the Americas and more than 80 in Asia, providing customers of both airlines with more travel choices than ever before.
