OST-1999-6425 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - U.S.-Argentina; U.S.-Chile	October 29, 1999	Application for Certificate of public Convenience and Necessity	U.S.- Argentina and U.S.- Chile All- Cargo Codeshare
		Service List

Polar holds an exemption authorizing it to engage in scheduled foreign all-cargo air transportation between New York, New York, Miami, Florida, and Los Angeles, California, on the one hand, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, Barranquilla, Colombia, and Santiago, Chile, on the other hand, and related route integration authority. See, Order 95-3-30, as renewed by Order 96-7-43. Polar also holds temporary certificate authority to serve Santiago, Chile, as an intermediate point on certain routes between the U.S. and Brazil. See, Order 96-6-12. Polar has long held an interest in expanding service in the U.S.-Argentina and U.S.-Chile markets 2 but bilateral limitations have inhibited Polar's ability to offer a competitive and efficient pattern of services. The new open skies agreement recently signed into effect between the U.S. and Chile' and the recently concluded U.S.-Argentina agreement4eliminate the route and frequency restrictions impeding Polar's ability to effectively serve these markets. By this application, Polar seeks broad certificate authority as contemplated under these new bilateral agreements. Polar is also filing concurrently an exemption application so that Polar may utilize these new bilateral opportunities without delay.

		Service List

Federal Express is not opposed to grant of U.S.-Argentina/Chile all-cargo certificate authority to Polar, provided that the application filed by Federal Express on November 22, 1999 in Docket OST-99-6539 for issuance of identical new certificate authority to Federal Express is granted concurrently. Federal Express is not formally requesting consolidated consideration of its essentially conforming application with that of Polar pursuant to Rule 1720(c) of the Department's Rules of Practice, in view of the absence of any controversy, mutual exclusivity or other circumstance warranting I any extensive briefing or evidentiary procedures in the case of the two applications at issue. Federal Express submits that the non-exclusive and non-controversial nature of the all-cargo certificate authority requested by both Federal Express and Polar warrants expedited and concurrent grant of both applications.

Order Transferring Exemption Authority and Reissuing Certificates

We have decided to approve the transfer of Polar's foreign certificate and other authorities to Polar Worldwide. However, we will not here transfer Polar's interstate authority. As noted above, by Order 2007-3-15, the Department issued to Polar Worldwide an interstate certificate of public convenience and necessity to conduct scheduled air transportation of property and mail. Therefore, Polar's request for the transfer of its interstate certificate to Polar Worldwide is now moot. We will cancel Polar's interstate certificate upon the effectiveness of Polar Worldwide's interstate certificate (see Order 2007-3-15).
