New York-Stockholm
Washington-Frankfurt*
* Immunity allowed following Joint Venture implementation regardless of whether new competitors enter market or not.
2. Canada
Chicago-Toronto
Cleveland-Toronto
Houston-Calgary
Houston-Toronto
New York-Ottawa
San Francisco-Toronto
3. Transpacific
Any U.S. airport-Beijing

What does that mean for AC and CO, on say the Houston to Calgary route, exactly? No codeshares or connections or what?

This would be different than CO LH on Houston to Frankfurt?

Thanks,
