Notice of Action Taken

All- Cargo Services Beyond the U.K.

Scheduled al1-cargo services beyond the United Kingdom with local (fifth-freedom) traffic rights.

Remarks: Under the provisions of the Air Services Agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom, the United States may authorize three airlines serving the U.S.-U.K. market to operate scheduled all-cargo services beyond the UK with local (fifth-freedom) traffic rights. The other two carriers that are currently authorized to use such beyond rights besides Polar are United Parcel Service and Federal Express.
This authority will give Polar the flexibility to continue using valuable fifth-freedom rights available under the U.S.-U.K. Air Services Agreement, as well as fifth-freedom rights that may be granted on an extra-bilateral basis by the U.K. government.
