Secretary

U.S. Department of Transportation

Docket DQT-OST-2010-0018

CZ)

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I am writing on behalf of Greater Jamaica Development Corporation, one of the

country's oldest and largest community development entities. Greater Jamaica Development

Corporation is a community-building organization that plans, promotes, coordinates and

advances responsible development to revitalize Jamaica, Queens and strengthen the region.

Marshalling the resources of the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors, the Corporation's

work expands economic opportunity and improves quality of life for the ethnically and

economically diverse residents of Jamaica and for the region, which benefits from rational,

well-planned and sustainable metropolitan growth. For over forty years, GJDC has advocated

a comprehensive strategy of building upon Downtown Jamaica's strong transportation and

infrastructure assets as an essential foundation for attracting new investments, affordable

housing, cultural and civic activity, retail and conunercial activity, and employment and

entrepreneurship opportunities. GJDC's focus and dedication to its core mission have made

significant contributions to transforming Downtown Jamaica into a sustainable, healthy,

attractive, and prosperous destination place for those who live and work there. GJDC has

worked collaboratively with a diversity of government, community, corporate, and

foimdation partners to make the following contributions to the growth of Downtown Jamaica.

With Jamaica adjacent to John F. Kennedy International Airport, the competitiveness of

major carriers operating at the airport is of great concern to us.

I respectfully ask you to approve American Airlines' request for allocation of two daily

U.S.-Haneda slot pairs to operate year-round scheduled air transportation fi-om New York and

Los Angeles to Tokyo Haneda. American's proposed service clearly represents the best public

interest use for two of the four frequencies to be awarded in this proceeding, as New York and

Los Angeles are far and away the largest travel markets between the U.S. mainland and Tokyo.
Furthermore, American's proposed service will provide significant connecting

opportunities, providing benefits to even more consumers. A total of 17 U.S. cities will enjoy online service beyond New York in one or both directions, and 20 beyond Los Angeles. All 10 of

the largest U.S. mainland-Tokyo markets will gain on-line service to Haneda under American's

proposal, including San Francisco, Chicago, Las Vegas, Seattle, Washington, Boston, Orlando,

and Portland through roundtrip connections.

I encourage the Department of Transportation to approve American's application, as it

will benefit the broadest public interest and will have a positive impact on air travel by offering

customers more service, scheduling and pricing options to choose from.

American Airlines is an important employer and a key driver of economic activity in

Southeast Queens. In these difficult financial times, I would respectfully request you support

American's efforts to remain a strong, viable competitor in the transatlantic market. The

economic vitality of Jamaica is dependant upon the aviation industry, the borough's largest

employer. I am grateful for your consideration, and thank you for your support.

F. Carlisle Towery

President
