Counsel:  Luis Irizarry, 787.752.7621

Exemption authority to the extent necessary to permit Aerolineas Santo Domingo S.A. to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between the Dominican Republic and the United States.

On April 20, 2000, the Department authorized ASD to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between the Dominican Republic and United States effective April 20, 2000, the authority was granted subject to the conditions that ASD wet lease aircraft from SAP, Inc. a U.S. Air Taxi Operator. The proposed service will be conducted pursuant to a wet lease arrangement with SAP, Inc. This authority was confirmed by order OST-2000-6796.

In order OST-2000-6796 the Department explicitly found that: the authority sought by ASD is provided for in the July 22, 1986 bilateral agreement/reciprocity between the United States and the Dominican Republic; ASD is properly licensed and designated by the Dominican Republic Government to perform the proposed services; ASD is financially and operationally qualified to perform the services authorized; the carrier is substantially owned and effectively controlled by Dominican Republic Nationals. In order OST-2000-6796-2 the Department found that the authority sought by ASID is consistent with the public interest; immediate action was required and was consistent with Department policy; grant of the exemption was consistent with the public interest. These findings continue to be valid.

Amendment of this exemption authority is warranted by the July 22, 1986 bilateral agreement between the United States and the Dominican Republic. Furthermore, amending the authority will enable ASD to provide Scheduled service between Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and will benefit the traveling and shipping public. Amendment of ASD exemption accordingly is in the public interest.
