Re: Corrected Service List

The service list originally attached to that pleading inadvertently omitted counsel for Southern Air Transport. A copy of the pleading was, nonetheless, mailed yesterday to counsel for Southern Air, as it was to all other carrier representatives on the revised service list.

U.S.- Ecuador, All- Cargo

By: Paul Gretch

Arrow Air Inc.

OST-96-1039	November 20, 2001	Application for Renewal of Frequency Allocation	U.S.- Ecuador, Scheduled All Cargo
		Service List

By Order 95-2-19 issued herein, the Department awarded the former certificated air carrier Fine Air Services, Inc. ("Old Fine Air") an exemption to provide scheduled all-cargo service between Miami, Florida and the co-terminal points Quito, Ecuador and Quyaquil, Ecuador, together with an allocation of two (2) weekly U.S.-Ecuador frequencies with which to perform this service. See: Order 95-2-19 issued herein. By Order 2000-8-5, the Department then approved the transfer of all of the certificate, exemption and other authorities held by the Old Fine Air to Arrow Air, Inc., including all frequency allocations previously awarded to the Old Fine Air. However, since the Old Fine Air's underlying exemption authority to serve Ecuador was duplicative of the exemption authority to serve Ecuador already held by Arrow Air, Old Fine Air's Ecuador exemption authority was not transferred and was canceled. See: Order 2000-8-5, 11 and n. 16. However, the two (2) Ecuador frequency allocations held by the Old Fine Air were specifically transferred to Arrow Air to be added to the three (3) weekly frequencies already held by it.

In addition to the three (3) weekly frequencies awarded to it, Arrow Air continues to fully use the allocation of two (2) weekly U.S.-Ecuador frequencies transferred to it by Order 2000-8-5. Arrow Air hereby requests that this frequency allocation be renewed for a further period beyond March 24, 2002, to be used in conjunction with the allocation of three (3) weekly frequencies allocated.
