Issued under delegated authority August 1, 1977 &4 1977 Application of UNITED AIR LINES, INC. Docket 31046 for an exemption pursuant to section 416(b) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended. ORDER GRANTING EXEMPTION On June 24, 1977, United Air Lines filed an application, pursuant to section 416(b) of the Act, for an exemption from condition (7) of its certificate for Route 1 so as to permit the carrier to provide one daily round-trip flight between Los Angeles, California, and Las Vegas, Nevada, terminating at Grand Junction, Colorado. 1/ The carrier requests that the authority be effective on September 7, 1977, 2/ for a period of two years or until 90 days after final decision in its route realignment certificate application in Docket 28755. In support of its application, United states that eastbound Flight 726, which operates between Los Angeles and Denver via Las Vegas and Grand Junction, currently provides Grand Junction passengers with a timely opportunity for making connections at Denver to eastbound flights; however, with schedule changes effective September 7, there will be in- sufficient time for making such connections, so that the Grand Junction- Denver portion of the flight will serve no useful function; a new Flight 368 will operate between Grand Junction and Denver at a time more suitable for eastbound connections; westbound United proposes a similar substitution with Flights 265 (old flight) and 361 (new flight); the termination of Flight 726 at Grand Junction and the origination of Flight 265 at Grand Junction would satisfy the intent of restriction (7), whose purpose is to preclude turnaround service between Los.Angeles and Las Vegas; and l/ Condition (7) of United's certificate requires flights serving both Los Angeles and Las Vegas to originate or terminate at Denver or a point east. 2/ United states that grant of its application by August 8, 1977, will permit it to efficiently implement the proposed service.
