UPS currently operates one frequency in the U.S.-Thailand market and plans to inaugurate its additional five weekly flights on or before September 1, 1997, the current authorized extension of its startup for these services (see Order 97-5-6). The 90-day dormancy period for these frequencies will begin on the date UPS inaugurates such service or September 1, 1997, whichever occurs earlier.
