OST-1998-3383 - Exemption - Ft. Lauderdale-Cancun/Guadalajara/Mexico City/Merida

Janaury 26, 1998

Application for an Exemption

HTML

Miami International Airport and Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport are approximately twenty miles apart. Amerijet's bonded freight warehouse facility, through which it accepts and delivers shipments, is located west of Miami International, where, at the present time, Amerijet's scheduled services are provided. Amerijet has determined that it should take advantage of certain commercial and operational advantages inherent in serving Ft. Lauderdale in addition to or as an alternate to Miami with respect to some or all of the scheduled services it currently provides to and from Miami. While Amerijet intends to retain its authority to serve its foreign destinations from Miami, it is here seeking the ability to concentrate some or all of its scheduled service at its Ft. Lauderdale base, and it is seeking authority to provide all its scheduled services to and from that point as well as Miami. For all these reasons, Amerijet respectfully requests that it be awarded an exemption and whatever other authority may be necessary to permit it immediately to serve Ft. Lauderdale as an additional or alternate terminal point in every market where it is presently limited to Miami.

 Ft. Lauderdale as a Terminal Point
    Service List  

Miami International Airport and Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport are approximately twenty miles apart. Amerijet's bonded freight warehouse facility, through which it accepts and delivers shipments, is located west of Miami International. In 1997 and 1998, Amerijet determined that it should try to take advantage of certain commercial and operational advantages inherent in serving Ft. Lauderdale in addition to or as an alternate to Miami with respect to some or all of the scheduled services it currently provides to and from Miami. Fortunately, the Department sanctioned that effort, and Amerijet was able to implement its plan. Amerijet's decision was a good one, and the results have surpassed Amerijet's expectations. Accordingly, Amerijet respectfully requests that the flexibility inherent in the exemption the Department granted two years ago be continued into the future. While Amerijet intends to retain its authority to serve its foreign destinations from Miami, it is here seeking to retain the ability to concentrate some or all of its scheduled service at its Ft. Lauderdale base, and it is seeking authority to provide all its scheduled services to and from that point as well as Miami.

OST-98-3383 March 21, 2002 Application for Renewal of an Exemption Ft. Lauderdale as a Terminal Point
    Service List  

Amerijet is presently permitted to serve most of its authorized foreign air transportation markets to or from any point or points in the United States. See, e.g., Orders 91-1-44, 91-10-43 and 92-3-41. There are some city-pair markets, however, where Amerijet's authority is limited to serving Miami as the sole U.S. terminal point.

First, in Dockets 45959 and 47801, Amerijet's original certificate authority in the U.S.-Mexico market was limited to the Miami-Merida/Mexico City/Cancun/Guadalajara city-pair markets. On July 6, 2001, Amerijet filed an application to renew and amend its existing U.S.-Mexico certificate authority (Docket OST-01-10068) to, among other things, include Fort Lauderdale as a terminal point in addition to or as an alternative to Miami. The Department has not yet acted on that application and, until it does, approval of this application as it pertains to Amerijet's Fort Lauderdale-Mexico authority is essential if Amerijet is to be able to continue serving the Fort Lauderdale-Mexico market.

Second, Amerijet's U.S.-Panama exemption authority in Docket OST-96-1046 authorizes scheduled air transportation in the Miami-Panama City market only. On November 20, 2000, in its renewal application, Amerijet requested that the terminal point Fort Lauderdale be included in addition to or as an alternative to Miami, but the Department only approved the Miami-Panama City portion and dismissed the Fort Lauderdale-Panama City portion because its exemption in this docket had already been renewed on May 31, 2000 (see Notice of Action Taken, dated December 21, 2000, in Docket OST-96-1046). Until such time as the Department permits Amerijet to add Fort Lauderdale to its U.S.-Panama authority in Docket OST-96-1046, approval of this application as it pertains to Amerijet's Fort Lauderdale-Panama City authority is essential.

To Amerijet's knowledge, there is no reason the Department limited Amerijet's authority in any of the foregoing markets; the limitations arose solely because of the manner in which Amerijet's applications were framed.  

Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport are approximately twenty miles apart. Amerijet's bonded freight warehouse facility, through which it accepts and delivers shipments, is located west of Miami International. In 1997 and 1998, Amerijet determined that it should try to take advantage of certain commercial and operational advantages inherent in serving Fort Lauderdale in addition to or as an alternate to Miami with respect to some or all of the scheduled services it currently provides to and from Miami. Fortunately, the Department sanctioned that effort, and Amerijet was able to implement its plan. Amerijet's decision was a good one, and the results have surpassed Amerijet's expectations. Accordingly, Amerijet respectfully requests that the flexibility inherent in the exemption the Department granted be continued into the future. While Amerijet intends to retain its authority to serve its foreign destinations from Miami, it is here seeking to renew the exemption giving it the ability to concentrate some or all of its scheduled service at its Fort Lauderdale base, and it is seeking authority to provide all its scheduled services to and from that point as well as Miami. For all these reasons, Amerijet respectfully requests renewal of this exemption and whatever other authority may be necessary to permit it to continue to serve Fort Lauderdale as an additional or alternate terminal point in markets where it was originally limited to Miami.

Amerijet believes that approval of this request is in the public interest. As noted above, Amerijet has achieved substantial operational and commercial advantages through the ability to serve Fort Lauderdale as well as Miami as a South Florida terminal point on any or all of its market segments, and no interested party has been disadvantaged by Amerijet's change in operations.

Application for Renewal of an Exemption

Amerijet respectfully files this application for renewal of its exemption from 49 USC 41101 authorizing it to serve the terminal point Fort Lauderdale, Florida in addition to or as an alternative to Miami, Florida whenever it is authorized to serve Miami as a terminal point in providing scheduled foreign air transportation of freight and mail.

All of Amerijet's exemption authority permits Amerijet to serve both Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Amerijet's Mexico certificate authority, however, is still limited to serving Miami as the sole US terminal point. On July 6, 2001, Amerijet filed an application to renew and amend its existing US-Mexico certificate authority (Docket OST-2001-10068) to, among other things, include Fort Lauderdale as a terminal point in addition to or as an alternative to Miami. This application was supplemented on October 17, 2005. The Department has not yet acted on the application or the supplement and, until it does, approval of this application as it pertains to Amerijet's Fort Lauderdale-Mexico authority is essential if Amerijet is to be able to continue serving the Fort Lauderdale-Mexico market.
