Motion for Expedited Treatment |
Renewal Exemption - Peru - U.S. All-Cargo Service |  HTML |
Fine Air Services, Inc. respectfully submits this Answer in opposition to the March 4, 1999 Motion of Cielos del Peru, S.A. for expedited treatment of its November 30, 1998 Application for Modification and Reissuance of Exemption Authority.'

Until there has been clear and positive action on Fine Air's application for U.S. - Peru scheduled all-cargo authority pending before the Peruvian Direccion General de Transporte Aereo for U.S. - Peru scheduled all-cargo authority, the Department should follow its usual practice in such circumstances and defer action on Cielos' application pending herein

Exemptions at Chicago O'Hare Airport |
High Density Rule, Chicago O'Hare Slots | HTML |
By this order the Department is establishing an experimental allocation of Chicago O'Hare Airport slot exemptions to be deployed by selected communities for the purpose of assisting those communities in acquiring nonstop air service to O'Hare. Specifically, we are reserving a total of three O'Hare slot exemptions each for the communities of Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia/Hilton Head, South Carolina, for the provision of such service. The service must be provided with Stage 3 jet aircraft, and is limited to a 179-day period. We find that this at lion is in the public interest.

Air Services Corp. and Arrow Air, Inc. |
Approval of Route Transfer Authority | HTML |
Gemini's argument is essentially that because at some unspecified, indeterminate date of its choosing in the future, Gemini may (or may not) wish to operate scheduled (or charter) all cargo service to any one of eighteen (18) countries it identifies, all three (3) of the above captioned applications should be denied, including the March 4, 1999 de facto Route Transfer Exemption Application. Since Gemini has never made any serious attempt to apply for, much less operate, scheduled all-cargo service to any of eighteen (18) countries identified by Gemini, Gemini's objection to the proposed transaction must be motivated by other unidentified improper commercial reasons and is intended to delay indefinitely this commercial business transaction. Gemini's improper delaying tactics should be promptly dismissed to permit the closing of this transaction as soon as possible

US-Africa Scheduled All-Cargo |
Polar is currently providing twice-weekly Boeing 747 freighter service to South Africa. Polar also operates to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and to such points as Nairobi, Kenya and Harare, Zimbabwe in support of its South Africa service. Although Polar has received certain operating authority from the Governments of Kenya and Zimbabwe, Polar's operations via Nairobi and Harare continue to be subject to restrictions which have hampered the further development of Polar's service. Polar continues to work with the governments of these countries, as well as the U.S. Embassies in both, to have these restrictions removed. For this reason, Polar needs additional time in which to develop its South Africa service to support three weekly operations.

Southern Air operated on its U.S.-Colombia route through September 1998. In October 1998, Southern Air filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. On February 26, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court approved the purchase of Southern Air's route authority and other assets by Devon Partners LLC. Devon has formed "Southern Air Inc." and transferred the acquired route authority find other assets to Southern, which plans to continue Southern Air's strong record of all-cargo operations with many of the same employees as soon as possible. To that end, former Southern Air employees are now employed by Southern and are helping Southern secure FAA and DOT route transfer authority. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and Rule 402 of the Department's Rules of Practice, Southern Air Transport, Inc. and Southern Air Inc. apply to renew for a one-year period Southern Air's exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41101 l to provide scheduled air transportation of property and mail between points in the United States, on the one hand, and the coterminal points Barranquilla, Bogota, Call and Cartagena, Colombia, on the other hand, via intermediate points.
