The balance sheet reflects the effect of the operations of Alaska Seaplane Service as shown on page 1 of Appendix J on Inian, Inc. Inian's balance sheet for 1996 is shown in Appendix D. Appendix J assumes that the operating profit for Inian will remain the same for the test year. The projected profit of Alaska Seaplane Service is added, and that total is shown as the year-to-date earning on Appendix J. page 2. The long term liabilities are adjusted by $53,099.77 to reflect reductions on long term debt through payments. Asset amounts were changed in two accounts. Fixed assets were reduced $27232.50 to reflect one year of additional depreciation. The remaining adjustment was made to the checking account balance to have total assets equal total liabilities and equity. This projection does not assume any additional purchases of fixed assets or any additional debt load.

American Airlines, Inc. and TAM-Transportes Aereos Meridionais, S.A. (Exemptions and Statements of Authorization, US-Brazil Codesharing)
OST-97-2419 | 97-2421 | Undocketed | May 15, 1997
Consolidated Answer of United
Air Lines
The U.S.-Brazil Air Transport Agreement, as amended in 1996, explicitly authorizes code-sharing arrangements between designated airlines of the two countries. The United/VARIG and American/TAM proposals are consistent with the bilateral agreement. Both should be approved, in furtherance of the Department's international air transportation policy that encourages code-sharing alliances as being in the public interest, especially where such alliances are able to compete with each other. United has no objection to approval of the American/TAM applications so long as its earlier filed joint application with VARIG is approved no later than those of American/TAM.

Linea Aerea Nacional-Chile, S.A. (Notice of Action Taken)
OST-96-1301 | Posted May 15, 1997 from Office of Intl Aviation
(1) Renewal of existing exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41301 to serve Bogota, Colombia/Cancun, Mexico/Montego Bay, Jamaica/Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, as intermediate points on the applicant's existing Department authority to conduct scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between a point or points in Chile and Miami, Florida; and (2) amendment of that authority in order to serve La Paz and Santa Cruz, Bolivia, as additional intermediate points on the applicant's Miami operations.

Lineas Aereas Paraguayas, S.A. | American Airlines, Inc. and LAPSA (renamed TAM-Mercosur) (Exemption / Statements of Authorization)
OST-97-2422 | Undocketed
Consolidated Answer of United
Air Lines
Due to the acquisition of the interest in LAPSA by Brazilian citizens, LAPSA no longer qualifies as a Paraguayan citizen under the terms of the U.S./Paraguay agreement. In order to retain its U.S. authority under that agreement LAPSA/TAMMercosur has requested an exemption to the extent necessary to waive the Paraguayan citizenship requirements. Such an exemption would also result in the grant of extrabilateral authority that would be needed to support, inter alla, the code-share service involving American and LAPSA/TAM-Mercosur.

OST-96-1640 | May 15, 1997

The information provided under Form 41, Schedule B-7 includes Southwest's acquisition costs concerning airframes, aircraft, and aircraft engines.

Trans Continental Airlines, Inc. (Amendment to Certificate Authority)
OST-97-2257 | May 15, 1997
TransCon proposes to operate three flights per week, serving Jackson, Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee, Toledo, Ohio, and New Orleans, Louisiana. TransCon calculates that the proposed service will require less than two million gallons of fuel per year. TransCon has access to an additional one million dollar ($1,000,000) line of credit which is secured by its accounts receivable. The financial statement submitted with TransCon's application indicates a low level of current assets relative to current liabilities. The reason for this temporary dip in its working capital is that in late 1996, TransCon used a substantial portion of its current assets to purchase fixed assets including additional aircraft, hush kits, and other capital equipment. It was able to finance most of this out of its own reserves. This equipment increases the value of the company's permanent assets, and will directly generate revenue in the current year. TransCon was highly profitable in 1996, and expects profitability to continue in 1997.
