Corporate Travel Management
Algemene voorwaarden
General Description of Operational Performance Commitment Benefit: The Operational Performance Commitment (“OPC”) is a beyond-contract value benefit available to select corporate accounts in good standing that have US point of sale discounts as part of their corporate sales agreement and an assigned US account manager that will provide remuneration to such accounts in the event that Delta Air Lines’ (“Delta”) operational performance is not as good as the respective operational performances of American Air Lines (“AA”) and United Air Lines (“UA”) as measured over a calendar year. Conditions for Remuneration: To be eligible for any OPC payment, the following conditions must be satisfied: 1. the corporate account is not in breach of its Joint Corporate Incentive Agreement with Delta and one or more of its partner airlines (the “CSA”) during such calendar year; and 2. the corporate account has achieved at least a Ninety-five Percent (95%) Contract Fulfillment under its CSA during the applicable calendar year. If a corporate account had two CSAs in effect during the applicable calendar year, the weighted average (based on days of the year) Contract Fulfillment under each of the CSAs will be used to determine the corporate account’s Contract Fulfillment for purposes of this condition; and 3. the corporate account must have a CSA in effect and in good standing as of December 31st of the applicable calendar year. In addition, an eligible corporate account will be entitled to a passenger experience OPC payment with respect to a particular calendar year if, and only if, each of the following conditions are also satisfied: 1. Delta’s A-14 Rate during such calendar year is lower than each of AA and UA’s A-14 Rate during the same calendar year; and 2. Delta’s Completion Factor is lower than each of AA and UA’s Completion Factor during the same calendar year. An eligible corporate account will be entitled to a baggage experience OPC payment with respect to a particular calendar year if, and only if, the following condition is also satisfied: Delta’s Mishandled Baggage Report rate is higher than each of AA and UA’s Mishandled Baggage Report rate during the same calendar year. Data Sources: Each of Delta’s, AA’s and UA’s A-14 Rate and Completion Factor will be based on the respective airline’s System Wide operations only during the applicable calendar year. The source for each of Delta’s, AA’s and UA’s A-14 Rate and Completion Factor will be based on the statistics reported by FlightStats, a leading independent aggregator of global aviation flight information. Each of Delta’s, AA’s and UA’s Mishandled Baggage Reports Rate will be based on the statistics published by the DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Payment Calculation: An eligible corporate account’s OPC payment amount, if any, will be dependent on the number of IROP Events experienced and number of checked bags by the corporate account’s Eligible Travelers (as defined in the CSA) during the applicable calendar year. IROP Events and checked bags will be tracked via the corporate account’s ticket designator code. Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth above, eligible corporate accounts whose CSA Contract Fulfillment Rate is between 95% and 109,9% will earn the following credits toward its OPC payments:
