AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMERCIALCOOPERATION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.5
AMENDED AND RESTATED COMMERCIAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Commercial Cooperation Agreement (Agreement) is made this 18 day of September, 2002 (the Effective Date), by and between AMERICA WEST AIRLINES, INC., a Delaware corporation (America West), with its principal administrative office at 111 West Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe, Arizona 85281, and HAWAIIAN AIRLINES, INC. (Hawaiian), with its principal administrative office at 3375 Koapaka Street, G-350, Honolulu, HI 96819.
Recitals
America West and Hawaiian are each certificated air carriers providing air transportation services with respect to both passengers and cargo in their respective areas of operation.
America West and Hawaiian desire to enter into a cooperative relationship that will include the code-sharing of flights, through check-in, special prorate arrangements for passengers, and joint sales and marketing programs.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein contained, America West and Hawaiian hereby agree that:
1. Schedules to be Operated.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, Hawaiian flights operated by Hawaiian may be marketed not only under Hawaiians HA designator code but also under America Wests HP* designator code. Such flight segments shall hereafter be referred to as Code Shared Segments. A flight involving Code Shared Segments wherein at least one segment is operated by Hawaiian and one segment is operated by America West is hereafter referred to as a Code Share Flight Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth the initial city pairs where Code Shared Segments may operate during the term of this Agreement. Neither America West nor Hawaiian (each a Carrier and, collectively, the Carriers) shall have an obligation to extend Code Shared Segments to other city pairs or to maintain operations of its aircraft on any routes. If Hawaiian ceases operation of any Code Shared Segments, such city pairs shall cease to be Code Shared Segments under this Agreement. America West may place its designator code on the Hawaiian flights in the Code Shared Segments designated on Exhibit A attached hereto.
(b) America West may request, in writing, that Hawaiian place America Wests designator code on flights operated by Hawaiian in markets not listed on Exhibit A (a Code Request). Hawaiian in its reasonable judgment within 30 days after receipt of the Code Request (the Response Notice) shall either consent to or reject the Code Request. If Hawaiian consents, then such markets shall become Code Shared Segments, shall be added to Exhibit A by
written amendment executed by both of the Carriers and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement effective on the effective date specified in the consent. If Hawaiian fails to issue the Response Notice, timely, then Hawaiian shall be deemed to have rejected the Code Request.
(c) Subject to the limitations set forth below, America West, upon written notice to Hawaiian, may require that Hawaiian remove America Wests designator code from certain Code Shared Segments operated by Hawaiian. Subject to the limitations set forth below, Hawaiian, upon at least 90 days prior written notice to America West, may cause the designator code of America West to be removed from the Code Shared Segments operated by Hawaiian. The right to remove the designator code and the right to cause the designator code to be removed pursuant to the preceding two sentences shall be subject to the following limitations, except as permitted pursuant to Paragraph 2 below: (i) prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, neither Carrier may remove the designator code or cause the designator code to be removed from any Code Shared Segments; and (ii) during each subsequent 180-day period during the Term, the total Code Shared Segments removed by America West and Hawaiian shall not exceed 33% of the Code Shared Segments designated on Exhibit A that remain subject to this Agreement on the first day of such 180-day period. Upon such removal, America West shall cease to book any additional passengers on such Code Shared Segments and ticketed passengers holding reservations on the removed Code Shared Segments will be notified and reaccommodated, to the extent necessary, by America West. Upon removal of a designator code in accordance with this paragraph 1(c), such markets shall no longer be Code Shared Segments.
2. Schedules. For flights operating within Code Shared Segments, Hawaiian, subject to Section 11 of the Terms and Conditions, shall operate the schedule published by it on the date hereof or the date the Code Shared Segment is added to this Agreement. Hawaiian may change its schedule for flights operated within Code Shared Segments in its own discretion; provided that, if a proposed change in the schedule will have an adverse effect on America Wests connecting opportunities to the flights operated within Code Shared Segments, Hawaiian will provide America West with as much advance notice as practical of the schedule change. If the adverse effect of the proposed change makes the continued operation of the Code Shared Segment(s) undesirable, in the opinion of America West, America West can delete such Code Shared Segment(s) from the operation of this Agreement effective on the effective date of the schedule change by providing written notice to Hawaiian, whereupon Hawaiian shall delete America Wests code from the flights operated within such Code Shared Segments. Upon such deletion, America West shall cease to book any additional passengers on such Code Shared Segments and ticketed passengers holding reservations on that Code Shared Segment will be notified and reaccommodated, to the extent necessary, by America West.

3. Pricing and Capacity Control of Code Shared Segments.
(a) Pricing.
(i) America West independently and in its own discretion will set the price and file the tariffs and fares as may be required for Code Share Flights (each, a Code Share Itinerary and collectively, Code Share Itineraries) that utilize America Wests designator codes (HP or HP*). Unless specifically permitted by this Agreement, America West shall only establish and publish fares for carriage for Code Shared Itineraries that include a flight segment operated by America West between the city pairs set forth in Exhibit G.
(ii) The Carriers agree that with the exception of Code Shared Segments operated by a regional carrier operating as America West Express no third party carriage shall be included in the price or acceptable routing for a Code Share Itinerary.
(iii) If no fare is published by America West for a Code Share Flight, the fare(s) published by Hawaiian through ATPCO for Code Share Segments operated by Hawaiian within a Code Share Itinerary shall be the only fares offered by America West for such Code Share Segments and such fare shall be the fare paid to Hawaiian.
(iv) America West shall not offer any off-tariff or unpublished fare(s), or discounts or rebates for flights operated by Hawaiian, either separately or as part of a Code Share Itinerary.
(b) Capacity Control. Hawaiian will determine, independently and at its sole discretion, the number of seats that will be made available by it in a particular reservation booking designator. The Carriers will establish a mutually agreeable method of mapping fare codes consistent with Exhibit B attached hereto. On or before the 180th day after the Effective Date and thereafter on each anniversary of the Effective Date and within 10 days after either Carrier provides written notice to the other Carrier that it is changing its reservations booking class designators(RBDs) and/or hierarchy, the Carriers shall review the method of mapping RBDs and, if necessary and mutually agreeable, shall amend Exhibit B in accordance with this Agreement. The effective date of such change shall be no sooner than thirty (30) days after agreement is reached or another date mutually agreed in writing between the Carriers.
4. Revenue Allocation. The revenue from Code Share Itineraries will be allocated between the Carriers in accordance with Exhibit C attached hereto. It is understood that tickets for Code Share Flights will be issued such that a separate coupon will be utilized for each flight segment.

18. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. America West and Hawaiian each agree to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement in compliance with Applicable Laws and to maintain all licenses to operate its airline required under Applicable Laws. Each Carrier shall be responsible, at its own cost, for obtaining any regulatory authorizations necessary to operate its flights or utilize its designator code on flights operated in the Code Shared Segments; provided that, the other Carrier shall render such reasonable assistance as is reasonably requested in order to obtain such regulatory authorizations.
