Notice of Action Taken | Word

Notice granting the applications of Air Transport International, LLC.; Gemini Air Cargo, Inc.; Evergreen International Airlines, Inc.; Atlas Air, Inc.; Polar Air Cargo, Inc.; North American Airlines, Inc.; and, Continental Airlines, Inc., subject to conditions. Effective July 29, 2003 through July 29, 2005. Petitions due August 7, 2003.

We remind all of the carriers seeking to exercise Iraq authority (whether underlying route authority or code-share authority) that the authority granted here cannot alone result in new service to Iraq. (See Order 2003-6-20.) This authority is subject to compliance with all applicable Office of the Coalition Provisional Authority, Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security Administration, Department of Defense, and other U.S. Government requirements. Further, to assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning security, before commencing any new service (including charter flights) to or from a foreign airport, carriers are reminded to contact their Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to advise the PSI of their plans and to find out whether the Transportation Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to allow such airport(s) to be served.

Consistent with Order 2003-6-20, we deferred on applications to the extent that they sought authority to serve Afghanistan. We will process Afghanistan requests separately.
