Order 2008-3-26 Issued and Served March 26, 2008 Order to Show Cause Proposing Issuance of Commuter Air Carrier Authority We tentatively conclude that AMN is a U.S. citizen and is fit, willing, and able to provide scheduled passenger operations as a commuter air carrier, subject to conditions. However, we will give interested persons an opportunity to show cause why we should not adopt as final these tentative findings and conclusions. AMN, air taxi operator, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 24, 2005. It currently holds a Federal Aviation Regulations Part 135 certificate from the FAA and operates on-demand charter service under 14 CFR Part 298 of the Department's regulations, between Molokai and Honolulu, Hawaii, using two PA-31-350 aircraft (PA-31). We will give interested persons 14 days following the service date of this order to show cause why the tentative findings and conclusions set forth here should not be made final; answers to objections will be due within 7 days thereafter. We expect such persons to direct their objections, if any, to the application and points at issue and to support such objections with detailed economic analyses.

Filed February 11, 2003 | Amended February 25, 2008 | Issued March 27, 2008 Exemption authority under 49 USC §40109 to engage in (1) scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Hong Kong, via intermediate points, to a point or points in the United States, as coterminal points, and beyond; (2) scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between Hong Kong, via intermediate points, to a point or points in the United States, and (3) charter foreign air transportation subject to Part 212 of the Department’s regulations. On February 25, 2008, Cathay Pacific filed an amendment to its initial application. Cathay Pacific notes that the Department has granted two Hong Kong carriers, including Oasis Hong Kong Airlines Limited, broad authority “to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation [from] Hong Kong, via intermediate points, to a point or points in the United States and beyond” without comment from U.S. carriers, and states that this is the authority that Cathay Pacific is now seeking. (See Notice of Action Taken, dated June 20, 2006, in OST-2005-20403 and Notice of Action Taken, dated August 9, 2007, in OST-2007-27248). On March 4, United filed an answer stating that it has no objection to the grant of Cathay Pacific’s application, as amended, so long as the exemption authority is subject to the same condition as that used in the case of the exemption issued to Oasis. We received no further comments. We have decided to grant Cathay Pacific’s application, as amended. By: Paul Gretch
