ORDER GRANTING TEMPORARY DORMANCY AND STARTUP WAIVER
April 9, 2020
On March 27, 2020, DOT issued an order, available here, granting all U.S. carriers holding limited-entry international route authority a waiver of the startup and dormancy conditions applicable to their authorities through October 24, 2020, subject to certain conditions.
Under the terms of the Order, any limited-entry authorities that have not been used for the applicable dormancy period and for which services have not resumed prior to October 25, 2020, will be deemed dormant as of that date and will revert to DOT. Additionally, any limited-entry authorities that are subject to a startup condition and have not begun prior to October 25, 2020, will revert to DOT. The Order also requires all U.S. air carriers to notify the Department, in writing, no later than October 1, 2020, of the limited-entry route rights that they will not be using beginning October 25. Carriers may seek extension of the waiver beyond October 24, 2020, for specific city-pair limited-entry services where they can demonstrate that circumstances warrant such an extension.
