Would Join Four Other Carriers Now Operating On Routes;
Restrictions Disappear In 2011
The US Department of Transportation proposed Tuesday to name
Evergreen International Airlines as a new all-cargo entrant in the
US-China aviation market. Evergreen, if granted final
authority, will operate six round-trip flights per week to Shanghai
from New York with additional traffic stops in Chicago, Dallas/Fort
Worth and Columbus, OH.
The US-China aviation agreement concluded in May 2007 permits
the United States to name a new all-cargo carrier to begin service
in the market on March 25, 2009. Kalitta Air and TradeWinds
Airlines, in addition to Evergreen, applied for the 2009 all-cargo
rights.
Interested parties have 14 days to object to the proposed
decision, with answers to objections due ten days afterward. After
the end of the comment period the Department will issue a final
decision.
In the show-cause order issued Tuesday, the Department
tentatively concluded that Evergreen’s proposal offered the
best service for the shipping public because the carrier was in the
best position to compete with current all-cargo airlines in the
market.
Evergreen would offer the first scheduled US-carrier all-cargo
service to China from both New York and Columbus, the Department
said, also noting that Evergreen was the only applicant that would
use the entire capacity of its aircraft for China services. In
addition, the Department cited Evergreen’s experience
operating in the US-Asia market, including its US-China charter
services.
The Department tentatively awarded backup authority to Kalitta
in the event that Evergreen is unable to begin service.
Airlines currently operating US-China all-cargo service are
Federal Express, Northwest Airlines, Polar Air Cargo and United
Parcel Service. All restrictions on scheduled US-China all-cargo
services will be lifted in March 2011.
