※ 引述《TOTO (ㄍㄟˇㄍㄟˊ)》之銘言： : 又來回一下舊聞囉，今天似乎有這消息的follow up， : 今年七月時，DL向美國交通部DOT提出轉移DTW-HND的航權至SEA-HND， : 事實上是沒辦法直接轉移的，DL其實是放棄DTW-HND，而重新申請SEA-HND， : 因此DOT得重新審查新釋出的HND航權申請與分配， : 因此八月時，不意外的大家都提出申請了 : DL SEA-HND 1935-2200 B763 : DL HND-SEA 0000-1700 B763 : 之後就是漫長的等到，直到十一月中的今天， : 新聞指出DOT初步同意這條航權還是會由DL拿下，報導 http://goo.gl/d5Jjq : 據悉DL將使用新改裝好的767-300ER操作此航線，新內裝可參考 http://goo.gl/81xcN : 加上今年新開航的NH SEA-NRT航線，與原有的UA DL SEA-NRT航班， : 客運量一下子增加了不少，這對SEA固然是好事， : 但是市場到底有沒有這麼大，則可以持續觀察 今天DOT給予Delta final confirm確認他們取得羽田的slot。 從6/1起Delta將會開闢每日一班往返東京羽田及西雅圖的航班，由763飛航。 DL581 SEA(2110)-(2330+1)HND 763 Daily DL580 HND(0130)-(1840-1)SEA 763 Daily 稍早Delta也發了很長的聲明稿感謝DOT將這個機會再度給予Delta。 http://www.sacbee.com/2013/02/05/5167747/delta-thanks-us-department-of.html 以下是Flight Global今天稍早的報導。http://ppt.cc/A9Et 1. DOT今天總算認可Delta可以飛航SEA-HND的航線。 2. HND這個航點受到AA、DL、HA、UA的覬覦。 3. SEA受到青睞是由於這個航點具有特殊性—地理位置上。 4. AA和HA比較早被排除，UA則是因為JL目前已有SFO-HND航線，與其增加第二班既有航線 的航班，不如把機會讓給SEA，可以打造另一個Gateway to US。 The US Department of Transportation (DOT) approved Delta Air Lines' request to operate daily nonstop flights between Seattle and Tokyo Haneda. The approval follows two rounds of bidding by Delta, American Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and United Airlines for the single route authority at Haneda, after the Atlanta-based SkyTeam alliance member requested DOT approval to shift the gateway of its Detroit-Haneda flight to Seattle in June 2012. "We would like to thank the DOTfor approval of our new service between Seattle and Haneda," says Richard Anderson, chief executive of Delta, in a statement. "Delta's new flights will significantly benefit consumers in the region as well as boost the economy and create jobs by opening new doors for commerce with Asia." The carrier will operate the flight on 225-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft from 1 June. "Only Delta's proposal would open Haneda access to a new region of the country and result in a greater number of geographic service options for the travelling public," says the DOT in its decision today. American proposed a flight between Los Angeles and Haneda, Hawaiian between Kona and Haneda, and United between San Francisco and Haneda. American and Hawaiian dropped their proposals after a preliminary decision favouring Delta from the DOT this past November, however, the former requested that all US carriers holding a Haneda route authority be granted the flexibility to change their US gateway. The DOT denied Fort Worth-based American's request for gateway flexibility in its final decision. Chicago-based United maintained its request for the San Francisco-Haneda route following the preliminary decision and, in the case that Delta was awarded the authority, that the DOT grant it back-up authority for the route. "Given the limited number of nonstop Haneda opportunities available to the travelling public, however, and the fact that American already offers daily US-flag San Francisco-Haneda service through its code share with JAL, we continue to believe that the establishment of a wholly new US gateway for nonstop Haneda service, ie, Seattle, outweighs the benefits of adding a second nonstop flight at San Francisco," says the DOT on United's request. The agency also denied United's request for back-up authority. The remaining three US carrier flights to Haneda are American from New York John F. Kennedy (JFK), Delta from Los Angeles and Hawaiian from Honolulu. Delta is in the midst of an expansion of its Seattle focus city that includes new service to Los Angeles from 8 April and Shanghai Pudong from 17 June, and increased service to JFK from 1 June. 另外，Delta擴大SEA的營運尚包含開闢其他亞洲、歐洲的國際航點。 除了現有歐洲CDG、AMS及NRT、KIX、PEK等亞洲航點。 並預計於6/17起正式飛航上海，明年夏天從SEA提供每天40個飛往各地的國際航班。 --
