Given Arrow's history of non-usage in the market (in direct contrast to the level of services proposed in its original application and which formed the basis for the Department's allocation and subsequent renewals,) and the value of these wasted frequencies, Southern respectfully submits that the Department should not renew Arrow's exemption authority and frequency allocation. Renewal of Arrow's exemption authority and frequency allocation would simply continue the waste of these valuable assets.

Reply of Polar Air Cargo and Motion for Leave to File

Arrow no longer has a legitimate claim to the frequencies it seeks to renew. As demonstrated by the documents filed during the course of the Argentina Proceeding, Arrow has not operated the two weekly scheduled service frequencies between the U.S. and Argentina that its allocation allows. For that matter, Arrow has not even operated two monthly frequencies. Indeed, all told, Arrow has hardly operated more than two yearly frequencies. During the twenty-eight months from June 1, 1995 through September 30, 1997, Arrow operated a total of only seven (7) flights. (Arrow Information Response, Attachment (December 2, 1997)). Clearly, the two frequencies Arrow seeks to renew are dormant and have been so for quite some time.

Requesting an amendment of its exemption last issued by Order 97-3-6, authorizing U.S.-Argentina scheduled all-cargo exemption authority between any point or points in the United States, via intermediate points, to any point or points in Argentina and beyond, and to integrate this authority with its existing exemption and certificate authority.

Since the time when Arrow's Argentina authority was originally granted herein, the old bilateral limitations on all-cargo operations to Argentina have been lifted and in 1999 a new Memorandum of Consultations was concluded eliminating route and frequency limitations. See: August 12, 1999 Memorandum of Consultations and amendments to the 1995 U.S.-Argentina Air Transport Agreement. A number of U.S. carriers subsequently applied for and were granted the broad authority afforded the carriers of both the U.S. and Argentina by the MOC. Prior to its merger into Arrow, Fine Air Services, Inc. was awarded broad U.S.-Argentina authority in Docket OST 99-6637. See: Notice of Action Taken dated December 29, 1999.

At the time of last year's merger of the Certificates, Exemptions and operations of Fine Air Services, Inc. into Arrow Air, Inc., the broader Argentina authority held by Fine was not transferred to Arrow since it was viewed as being duplicative.

In light of the broader and expanded bilateral opportunities afforded the carriers of both the U.S. and Argentina, Arrow hereby amends its April 9, 1998 renewal application herein, and requests that the authority granted be consistent with the new expanded rights available under the MOC and not be limited to the Miami-Buenos Aires route previously authorized.

It provides important services for the shipping public and renewal of this exemption is consistent with the public convenience and necessity.

Application for Renewal of Exemption

Arrow Air has been authorized to operated scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between any point or points in the United States, via intermediate points, and any point or points in Argentina and beyond, and to integrate this authority with its existing exemption and certificate authority pursuant to 49 U.S.C. section 40109 as set forth in Notice of Action Taken issued April 7, 2003.
