December 29, 2020 by ELECTRONIC MAIL the Honorable Arjun Garg
National Air Carrier Association 1735 North Lynn Street, Suite 105 Arlington, VA 22209 T: +1.703.358.8060 December 29, 2020 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL The Honorable Arjun Garg Acting Deputy Administrator and Chief Counsel Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Washington D.C. 20591 Re: Docket FAA-2020-0862: COVID-19 Related Relief Concerning Operations at Seven Airports for the Summer 2022 Season Dear Acting Deputy Administrator and Chief Counsel Garg: The National Air Carrier Association (NACA) appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments in response to FAA’s recent notice proposing to extend through Summer 2021 the existing waiver of the minimum slot usage requirement at the four IATA Level 2 and three IATA Level 3 airports in the United States (the Notice).1 NACA represents 18 Part 121 air carriers,2 including the nation’s four ultra-low cost carriers (ULCCs) – Allegiant Air, Frontier Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and Sun Country Airlines – and strongly supports the comments submitted separately by Allegiant and Spirit on December 28, 2020 and December 29, 2020, respectively. NACA agrees with Allegiant and Spirit that the FAA Notice proposing to extend the minimum slot usage waiver for the full duration of the Summer 2021 scheduling season would be unduly lenient to existing slot-holders, and that there is no public interest reason to to continue the current slot waivers past the end of March 2021. After correctly stating that “[t]he ultimate duration and severity of COVID-19 impacts on passenger demand in the United States and internationally remain unclear even as the distribution of a vaccine is underway in certain parts of the world,”3 the FAA notice simultaneously proposes that its slot waiver be extended to a date 10 months from now.
