the FAA to ‘‘issue a full usage waiver for
the remainder of the summer 2020 IATA
season.’’ American Airlines asserts that
it ‘‘has taken unprecedented action to
cut our schedules by more than 75%
internationally and 30% domestically in
April alone with significantly more cuts
in May and beyond into the spring and
summer months.’’
Other U.S. airlines also report
significant capacity cuts in the coming
months. Delta Air Lines announced on
March 10, 2020, that to align capacity
with expected demand, it is reducing
system capacity by 15 points versus its
plan, with international capacity
reduced by 20–25%, and domestic
capacity reduced by 10–15%. JetBlue
Airways announced on March 18, 2020,
that it will reduce its capacity by at least
40% in April and May, and it also
expects substantial cuts in June and
July. Southwest Airlines announced on
March 20, 2020, that it has implemented
a plan to reduce capacity by at least 20
percent for the period from April 14
through June 5, 2020, driven by a drop
in travel demand due to the COVID–19
outbreak. On March 18, 2020, Airlines
for America, which describes itself as an
advocate for leading U.S. airlines,
asserted that ‘‘cancellations far outpace
new bookings for U.S. carriers, planes
are only 20–30% full and new bookings
are implying 70–80 percent declines in
traffic even as airlines make dramatic
cuts in capacity—and this is getting
worse each day with no end in sight.’’
Opportunity To Show Cause
In consideration of the foregoing
information, the requests that the FAA
has received, and the evolving situation,
the FAA has tentatively determined to
extend through October 24, 2020, the
relief that the FAA has already granted
through May 31, 2020, to continue on
the same terms as the FAA announced
in granting that relief. If the FAA
extends relief to October 24, 2020, the
FAA expects that foreign slot
coordinators will provide reciprocal
relief to U.S. carriers. To the extent that
U.S. carriers fly to a foreign carrier’s
home jurisdiction and that home
jurisdiction does not offer reciprocal
relief to U.S. carriers, the FAA may
determine not to grant a waiver to that
foreign carrier. A foreign carrier seeking
a waiver may wish to ensure that the
responsible authority of the foreign
carrier’s home jurisdiction submits a
statement by email to ScheduleFiling@
dot.gov confirming reciprocal treatment
of the slot holdings of U.S. carriers.
The Coronavirus continues to present
a highly unusual and unpredictable
condition that is beyond the control of
carriers. Passenger demand continues to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
decrease dramatically as a result of the
Coronavirus. The ultimate duration and
severity of Coronavirus impacts on
passenger demand in the United States
and internationally remain unclear.
Even after the pandemic is contained,
impacts on passenger demand are likely
to continue for some time.
The FAA tentatively has concluded
that an extension of relief through
October 24, 2020, is appropriate to
provide carriers with maximum
flexibility during this unprecedented
situation and to support the long-term
viability of carrier operations at slotcontrolled and IATA Level 2 airports in
the United States.3 Continuing relief for
this additional period is reasonable to
mitigate the impacts on demand for air
travel resulting from the spread of the
Coronavirus worldwide.
The FAA seeks views and information
regarding this tentative decision.
Interested persons are invited to show
cause why the FAA should or should
not finalize this decision, and to submit
any information relevant to making this
decision. Written views and supporting
data may be submitted no later than
March 30, 2020, by email to the Slot
Administration Office at 7-awaslotadmin@faa.gov. Information
submitted to the FAA may be subject to
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act. The FAA recognizes
that commenters may seek to submit
business information that is both
customarily and actually treated as
confidential. Persons that submit such
confidential business information
should clearly mark the information as
‘‘PROPIN’’. The FAA will take the
necessary steps to protect properly
designated information to the extent
allowable by law.
After receiving and reviewing
comments, the FAA anticipates
subsequently providing notice of its
final decision.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 22,
2020.
