FINNAIR OYJ INVESTOR NEWS 25 JULY 2007 ONEWORLD AIRLINES SEEK TO EXPAND COOPERATION IN THE US American Airlines, Finnair and three other oneworld® Alliance partners Iberia, Malev and Royal Jordanian yesterday filed with the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) for antitrust immunity effective March 30, 2008. The application seeks to allow cooperation among the five airlines in a wide variety of operational areas, including code-sharing, frequent flyer programs, route and schedule planning, advertising and marketing, pricing and yield management, revenue allocation, ground handling, cargo services, information technologies and distribution systems, and several other areas. “This is primarily a question of cooperation within the US. In the future we could sell our corporate customers in the US the whole of Europe by combining the networks of all the airlines in question whereas at the moment each airline can only offer its own European network,” explains Finnair VP Alliances and International Relations Kari Koli. The antitrust immunity would increase the number of choices for passengers as well as competition between the alliances. For oneworld antitrust immunity is competitively of vital strategic importance. Star and Sky Team alliances already have such immunity. Finnair and American Airlines have antitrust immunity for their bilateral cooperation. The agreement has been in effect since the beginning of 2002. For passengers it can be seen as increased and better connections between Finland and the US through New York and Europe as well as more efficient airport services and combine prices.
