March 23, 2005 Motion for Confidential Treatment of Exhibit 9, Financial Data Summary Pursuant to Section 302.12 By: Philip Dewsnap, 403-730-2344, pjd@airsprint.com OST-00-7668 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - Interstate Scheduled Service Operations March 24, 2005 Application for Grant of an Emergency Exemption BMAC hereby requests that the foregoing exemption authority be granted on an expedited basis, pursuant to the Department's Emergency Exemption procedures set forth in Section 302.311 of the Rules of Practice,' to become effective on or before April 8, 2005, and continuing in effect for a period of two years, or until 90 days after final action on BMAC's pending application in Docket OST-03-14985 for issuance of a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing BMAC to operate up to seven (7) large aircraft in interstate and/or foreign air transportation operations, whichever occurs first. BMAC requires authority to operate a fourth large aircraft in the immediate near‑term future in order to respond to recently‑confirmed public service commitments which will exceed the capabilities of BMAC's current three large‑aircraft fleet. Specifically, in addition to two lines of scheduled service operations, BMAC has been retained by a major cruise line company to serve as the direct air carrier in performing a series of weekly Public Charter flights commencing on April 14, 2005. Subject to favorable Department action on this application (and FAA approval of the addition of the fourth B‑727 to BMAC's Part 121 Operations Specifications) on or before April 12, 2005, BMAC has agreed to provide the required Public Charter flights commencing on April 14, 2005 (with a prior aircraft‑positioning ferry flight to be flown on April 13, 2005 as necessary). If Department (and FAA) approval of BMAC's operation of a fourth large aircraft is not received by April 12th, BMAC will be obliged to procure sub‑service arrangements to be performed by a fully‑qualified U.S. air carrier for the period prior to BMAC's receipt of necessary authorizations from the Department and the FAA. The necessity for procuring a sub‑service arrangement would entail an adverse financial impact on BMAC.

By: Karan Bhatia OST-01-9181 - Certificate - Interstate Scheduled March 24, 2005 Response of Smokey Bay Air to Information of Homer Air | Word By letter dated March 7, 2005, Homer Air, Inc. filed information relating to its continuing fitness in anticipation of activating the Certificate awarded by Order 2004-7-7. Over eight months have passed since that Order was issued, and the information is not sufficient and is possibly misleading as to the current fitness of Homer Air. During the interim, Homer Air has been providing commercial air service, but there are no current financial reports to demonstrate current fitness or experience. By: Claire McCann, 907-235-1511 OST-2005-20765 - Emergency Cabotage Exemption - Wichita-Everett Filed March 24, 2005 | Issued March 25, 2005 Exemption from 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) to operate one, one-way, cargo charter flight from Wichita, Kansas, to Everett, Washington, on March 26,2005, using its AN-124-100 aircraft to transport three Boeing 777 Rolls Royce thrust reversers for installation on a new Boeing 777 aircraft, on behalf of Boeing Commercial Airplane Group. The applicant states that Boeing urgently needs delivery of the cargo for installation on the Boeing 777, so that the aircraft can be completed for immediate delivery, and that surface transportation is not feasible because of the excessive time such transportation would take. By: Karan Bhatia OST-2005-20570 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - Interstate March 25, 2005 Tradewinds expresses no view and does not take any position as to Tradewind's entitlement to hold the certificate authority it seeks herein. However, Tradewinds does strongly oppose Tradewind's proposed use of Tradewinds' long‑established trade name "Tradewinds" based upon the confusion the use by applicant of the Tradewind name will cause, as well as the potential to harm Tradewinds' long‑standing air carrier services in the U.S. Counsel: Pierre Murphy, 202-776-3980, pmurphy@lopmurphy.com Order 2005-03-31 Issued March 8, 2005 | Served March 25, 2005 By this order, we make final our tentative findings and conclusions set forth in Order 2004-11-3 award Arrow Air certificate authority for scheduled all-cargo service between Miami and Brazil and allocate it 5 weekly frequencies for its services; and make final our tentative selection of Amerijet International for backup authority in this case. In addition, by this order, we make final our tentative decision to authorize Polar Air Cargo to operate U.S.-Brazil all-cargo services in place of Atlas Air.
