I believe the current authority is codeshare only. As this is an amendment, I'm thinking this is due to the recent Air New Zealand codeshare announcement.

I found some documents on the internet of a similar nature except the destinations were different. The docs that I saw were requests for flight restrictions to be lifted in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Montevideo, Uraguay. Would those possibly be codeshare as well? Or could they actually be thinking of flying them ourself?

Correct, except that US wants to amend and extend it's 2 year exemption to codeshare with UA to Sydney and Melbourne. The amendment would be to add the other cities - Perth, Brisbane, Cairns, and Adelaide - via the Air New Zealand codeshare.

I found some documents on the internet of a similar nature except the destinations were different.

Do you have the docket numbers or links? Just searching the DOT docket system for US turns up too many results to go through individually.

It was a while back.....not sure if i can track it down, but i will definately try!

I found the Buenos Aires and Montevideo application. It's for an extension to authority granted in 2005 to codeshare with UA or offer US service "if future market conditions warrant."

The code share with UA international destination is a nightmare with SHARES. To add more is bringing hardship on the customers and agents. It seems marketing is a work and IT is not…..
