TNT requests the Department to act immediately on TNT's pending application in the above-referenced docket for a foreign air carrier permit.

TNT has on file in the above-captioned docket an application for a foreign air carrier permit for all-cargo services between Belgium and the US. for which it holds current temporary exemption authority in Docket OST-2002-12017. TNT's exemption authority is set to expire on August 26, 2006.

TNT is concurrently filing an application to renew its exemption authority for a two year period or until the Department acts on its pending application for permit authority in this docket.

See, Order 2006-7-22 (Air Comet S.A.), where similar action was taken with respect to a pending foreign air carrier permit application in conjunction with renewal of temporary exemption authority. See also, Order 2006-6-28 (Cargoitalia, S.p.A.).
