Haiti Aviation, S.A. d/b/a Air D'Ayiti (Exemption, Scheduled US-Haiti)

OST-97-2999 | October 17, 1997

Amendment No. 1 to Application

It is Air D'Ayiti understanding from Continental that Continental's objection to the Motion to Shorten the Answer Period and its potential objection to Exemption is based solely on that portion of the Application and Motion seeking authority beyond Port-au-Prince to Venezuela, and has nothing to do with Air D'Ayiti's legitimate request for Haiti-U.S. authority and other beyond points. Continental stated that it is having problems with the Government of Venezuela as regards Continental's U.S.-Venezuela operations.

Obviously, neither Air D'Ayiti nor the Government of Haiti have even the remotest connection with the problems Continental is experiencing in Venezuela. However, Continental somehow believes that its objection herein will in some way help it advance its cause. It clearly will not. In the mean time however, the interests of Air D'Ayiti will be irreparably damaged due to the delay which will be caused by Continental's objection with the holiday booking season fast approaching.

However, rather than seek the help of the Government of Haiti at this time and urge reciprocals treatment for the U.S. carriers which currently are exercising fifth freedom operations into and out of Haiti, Air D'Ayiti hereby withdraws that portion of its pending exemption application seeking authority to operate beyond Port-au-Prince, Haiti to Caracas and Isla Margarita, Venezuela.

Haiti Aviation, S.A. d/b/a Air D'ayiti (Notice of Action Taken)

OST-97-2999 | Posted November 5, 1997

Notice of Acton

Exemption from 49 U.S.C. §41301 to conduct scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Port au Prince, Haiti, and the coterminal points San Juan, Puerto Rico; Miami, Florida; and New York, New York; and charters subject to the Department's rules. The applicant would conduct these services only by wet leasing aircraft from a duly authorized and properly supervised U.S. or foreign air carrier.

In spite of the fact that we are unable to find that Haiti Aviation is substantially owned and effectively controlled by homeland nationals, we find it appropriate to waive our ownership and control requirements. Haiti Aviation may not conduct U.S. operations with its own aircraft and crews without further order of the Department.
