Application for Exemption and Statement of Authorization
Air Exel is a Dutch carrier which has established a special exclusive marketing arrangement with its strategic partner, KLM, which includes extensive codesharing operations, shared groundhandling, common schedule planning and route transfers between the two carriers. Under its strategic arrangement with KLM, Air Exel will, on behalf of KLM, operate with Air Exel's aircraft and crews the Amsterdam-Netherlands segments of Northwest's and KLM's U.S.-Amsterdam domestic Netherlands flights. Air Exel will provide initially service between Amsterdam and Maastricht, Netherlands. Air Exel will not provide service to the United States in its name and does not intend to serve any point in the United States with its aircraft. Rather, Air Exel's operations will be limited to providing codeshare services on Amsterdam-Netherlands flight segments.
Air Exel's business has continued to expand. On March 31, 1997, Air Exel began service between Eindhoven (Netherlands), on the one hand, and London (Heathrow), Paris (Charles de Gaulle) and Hamburg (Germany). Today, Air Exel operates turboprop aircraft exclusively, including two Embraer 120 Brasilia aircraft and three ATR42-320 aircraft, seating 30 and 50 passengers, respectively. Air Exel employs 64 persons and operates up to thirty flights daily.

Application for Amendment of Statement of Authorization and Renewal and Amendment of Exemptions
Hereby requests renewal of the exemption Luthonties granted to it by the Department of Transportation in the above-captioned dockets authorizing Air Exel to perform scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between (i) Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Antwerp, Belgium; (ii) Paris, France, and Eindhoven, Netherlands; and (iii) Amsterdam, Netherlands, and domestic Netherlands points, pursuant to a codeshare agreement with Northwest Airlines, Inc. Air Exel's current exemptions expire on July 13, 2003. Air Exel requests renewal of these exemptions for a two-year period on their existing terms and conditions.
Air Exel further requests amendment of its existing exemptions and statements of authorization to permit Air Exel to perform scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between points in the Netherlands and points in third countries, pursuant to Air Exel's codeshare agreement with Northwest. Grant of this authority is consistent with the open skies agreement between the United States and the Netherlands, and will relieve Air Exel and the Department of the burden of preparing and reviewing multiple applications covering codesharing on various Netherlands-third country routes.
