PrivatAir S.A.

PrivatAir requests an exemption to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Switzerland on the one hand and any point or points in the United States on the other hand, either directly or via intermediate points in other countries, with or without stopovers, and beyond and any other charters pursuant to Part 212 of the Department's regulations, as necessary. PrivatAir plans to commence ad hoc charter operations to several points in the U.S. in 2001 but mainly between Geneva, Switzerland on the one hand and Newark, New Jersey, and West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on the other hand. For its proposed services to the U.S., PrivatAir intends to use Boeing B737 and B757 aircraft in business jet configuration.

PrivatAir plans to commence services to the U.S. on or about March 1, 2001 providing charter passenger services between points in Switzerland and points in the United States.

PrivatAir has previously operated occasional planeload charters to the U.S. in accordance with the Department's regulations. In response to the tremendous demand for its services, PrivatAir is expanding its charter services to and from U.S. markets, especially the New York metropolitan area and Florida. PrivatAir's proposed flights to the U.S. would provide significant benefits to the U.S. markets it intends to serve.

Exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41301 to conduct charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Switzerland and any point or points in the United States, either directly or via intermediate points in other countries, with or without stopovers, and beyond, pursuant to the U.S.-Switzerland Air Transport Agreement; and other charters pursuant to 14 CFR 212 of the Department's regulations.

The authority is provided for in the U. S.-Switzerland Air Transport Agreement. We found, based on the record, that the carrier is properly designated and licensed, and operationally and financially qualified to undertake the proposed operations. ' The record also indicates that the carrier is owned 60% by citizens of Switzerland, 36% by citizens of Monaco, and 4% by citizens of Greece. Despite the presence of non-homeland interests, we found that there was nothing in the ownership and control of the carrier that would be inimical to U.S. aviation policy or interests. Therefore, we concluded that waiver of our standard requirement that substantial ownership and effective control of a foreign carrier rest in the hands of citizens of its homeland was warranted. Finally, the FAA has advised us that it knows of no reason why the Department should act unfavorably on the carrier's application.
