Our principal objective in this proceeding will be to maximize the public benefits that will result from introducing U.S.-flag carrier service in the U.S.-Haneda market. In this regard, we will consider which applicant or applicants3
will most likely offer and maintain service that best meets the needs of the traveling and shipping public. We will also consider the effects of the applicants’ service proposals on the overall competitive environment, including effects on the market structure and on competition in the U.S.-Japan market. In addition, we will consider other factors historically used for carrier selection, where relevant.
