Successfully engaged in transporting persons, property and mail within Mexico since 1967. Aero California is headquartered at La Paz, Baja California Sur International Airport. With its fleet of DC-9 aircraft, Aero California currently provides service between points throughout the Baja California Peninsula and numerous other points within Mexico, and has provided service between such points, on the one hand, and Los Angeles, CA, on the other. Aero California is currently working toward restoration of service in the next several months between certain points in Mexico for which it seeks renewal of exemption authority and Los Angeles, CA. To that end, Aero California is in the process of making arrangements for the restoration of service, including hiring personnel.

OST-2008-0118 - Exemption and Foreign Air Carrier Permit - EU-US Open-Skies Scheduled and Charter All-Cargo March 21, 2008 Application for an Exemption and a Foreign Air Carrier Permit - Bookmarked Cargo B Airlines NV/SA hereby applies for an exemption and a foreign air carrier permit authorizing Cargo B to engage in: (a) foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of property and mail from any point or points behind any Member State of the European Union, via any point or points in any EU Member State and via intermediate points, to any point or points in the United States and beyond; (b) foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of property and mail between any point or points in the United States and any other point or points worldwide; (c) other cargo charters pursuant to the prior approval requirements set forth in the Department's regulations governing charters; and (d) transportation authorized by any additional route rights made available to European Community carriers in the future, to the extent permitted by Cargo B's homeland license on file with the Department. Cargo B Airlines NV/SA is a new Belgian all-cargo airline that introduced service with its first B-747-200 freighter in October 2007. The Company initially commenced scheduled all-cargo services between Brussels and points in Africa (including Libreville, Gabon; Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; and Cairo, Egypt) and, with the delivery of its second B-747-200 freighter, added service to Dakar, Senegal and points in South America (including Sao Paulo/Campinas, Brazil; and Latacunga, Ecuador) via the Caribbean (Bridgetown, Barbados). Cargo B is eager to add points in North America to its unique cargo network, particularly in anticipation of the delivery of its third B-747-200 freighter in April 2008. To that end, in order to provide Cargo B with the flexibility to add scheduled and charter service to and from the United States, the Applicant is seeking the full scope of DOT authority available to EU all-cargo carriers under the EU-U.S. open-skies agreement. Cargo B plans to introduce service to one or more U.S. points as part of its weekly scheduled cargo flight rotations between Brussels and points in South America and the Caribbean. Cargo B also seeks the opportunity to operate occasional all-cargo charter flights to the United States in response to the requirements of shippers, and to exercise other route rights available to EU carriers under the EU-U.S. open-skies agreement. Cargo B has been providing freighter service of comparable character to points in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean since initiating operations late last year, and the Company is fully prepared and qualified to expand its service offerings to points in the United States.

March 13, 2008 Oil Region Alliance in support of Gulfstream International Airlines Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Essential Air Services proposal for the Venango County Regional Airport. Upon review of the proposal submitted by Gulfstream International Airlines to provide air carrier service to Franklin/Oil City we wholeheartedly endorse and support this proposal. By: Randy Seltz
March 19, 2008 Pennsylvania State Senator in Support of Gulfstream International Airlines I am writing to strongly support the proposal by Gulfstream International Airlines to provide subsidized air service at DuBois and Franklin/Oil City, Pennsylvania. The Venango Regional Airport is within my Senatorial District and I recognize what a valuable asset it is to the economic viability of our region. Unfortunately, as you know, ten months ago the present air carrier gave notice that they are withdrawing from subsidized air service to several locations, including Franklin/Oil City. By: Mary Jo White
March 20, 2008 City of Oil City in Support of Gulfstream International Airlines On behalf of the City of Oil City, I urge you to support Gulfstream's bid to provide reliable air service to the County, the communities that lie within it, and the region as a whole.

Los Angeles-San Jose del Cabo Proceeding OST-2008-0023 - Exemption - Los Angeles-San Jose del Cabo February 26, 2008 Support of Bay Area Council for Virgin America I am writing to express the Bay Area Council's strong support for the application of Virgin America to provide connecting service from San Francisco over Los Angeles to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. Since starting service in August 2007, Virgin America has delivered on its promises to bring new jobs, new aircraft, increased competition, and enhanced air service to the greater San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. It has raised the bar on innovative, fun service to the traveling public.

OST-2006-25577 - Commuter Air Carrier Authority March 21, 2008 Re: Resignation Letter of Don Roney Please enter into the Docket related to DOT Show Cause Order 2007-12-11 for TACS dated December 17th 2007 the following: My "AFFIDAVIT" dated 15 March 2008 and My "Revised Lettter of Resignation from TACS " to POI David B. Lusk, dated March 17, 2008, with an effective resignation date of 23:59 hours March 17, 2008. These are significant documents with relevancy to this case, and should be reviewed and considered by the DOT prior to March 23, 2008. By: Don G Roney, Former Director of Operations US-Colombia Combination Frequency Allocation Proceeding March 21, 2008 I would like to express my disagreement with American Airlines' position with relation to Spirit Airlines. American claims that there is no need for additional service to Colombia from South Florida and that Miami is enough to serve the region. As a citizen of South Florida, I disagree and re-affirm the need for direct service from Fort Lauderdale to Colombia. In addition to tourists and business people of both countries, Spirit has committed to serve the vast Colombian immigrant population resides in Broward and Palm Beach counties. The Fort Lauderdale area in addition to Palm Beach should be afforded the opportunity to an alternative other that American Airlines and Miami International Airport. As a regular citizen, I praise the DOT for it's decision in allowing both Low Cost Carriers Spirit Airlines and jetBlue Airways to initiate operations in markets once restricted to major carriers. This will enable more competition and more options to the benefit of the population. I further request that Spirit Airlines be granted access the Medellin, Colombia from it's Fort Lauderdale hub.
