Aerovias Nacioanles de Colombia, S.A. (AVIANCA)

Requests that the Department remove the requirement to obtain prior approval of charter flights to or from the United States, a restriction imposed on AVIANCA's foreign air carrier permit authority in 1981 by the Civil Aeronautics Board. (Order 81-5-44, May 8, 1981, CAB Docket 37851) In that proceeding, the CAB imposed a restriction on the foreign air carriers of eleven countries, including Colombia, requiring them to obtain prior Board approval of Third and Fourth Freedom charter flights. Because the basis for that action, the lack of adequate charter reciprocity, no longer exists with respect to Colombia, and the restriction imposes unnecessary operating and regulatory burdens on AVIANCA, the requirement to obtain prior approval for such charter flights should be removed.

Counsel:  Zuckert Scoutt, Richard Mathias, 202-298-8660
