Tradewinds Airlines, Inc. OST-2004-19398 - Tradewinds - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - US-"Open Skies" Countries October 13, 2004 Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity By this Application, TradeWinds seeks a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to provide scheduled foreign all-cargo air transportation to and from the countries listed in the Attachment A hereto that have concluded with the U.S. "Open Skies" aviation agreements or amendments with respect to "Open Skies" all-cargo service. TradeWinds also requests that the certificate authorize it to provide these services from points behind the United States via the United States and intermediate points to any point or points in the "Open Skies" countries and beyond, to the extent that the applicable aviation agreement grants such behind, intermediate, and beyond rights. By virtue of these "Open Skies" agreements, there are no restrictions on designations or points served, or limitations on capacity for the services contemplated by this Application.

January 18, 2005 Re: Request for Additional Information Trade Winds has stated that, because of the uncontroversial nature of this application, along with TradeWinds' plans to expand its services incrementally, it requests a waiver of the requirement to provide detailed information on specific points, flight schedules, and related annual operating and fuel-consumption statistics. At this time, we will require that certain basic service proposal information be provided in order for us to proceed with the application. Pursuant to 14 CFR 201.4 of the Department's regulations, we request that the carrier provide the following: 1. A description of the initially-proposed service to be operated under this certificate, including the terminal, intermediate, and beyond points. 2. The number of frequencies proposed in each of these markets, along with the applicable start up dates; and 3. The type and total number of aircraft to be used for the initially-proposed services, and a statement as to whether or not the aircraft to be used are on hand or on order. If on hand, indicate where and the extent to which those aircraft are currently being used. If on order by purchase or lease, indicate when they will be delivered and how the aircraft will be financed. Indicate whether or not the aircraft to be used comply with FAR-36. If not, indicate plans for achieving compliance. By: Paul Gretch

Order 2006-10-1 Issued August 9, 2006 | Served October 5, 2006 Order Issuing Certificates | Word By this order we grant new open-skies, all-cargo certificate authority to Centurion Air Cargo, Inc. and to Tradewinds Airlines, Inc. Centurion and Tradewinds each filed an application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to conduct cargo operations from points behind the United States, via the United States and intermediate points to any point or points in countries with which the United States has concluded open-skies agreements or amendments with respect to open-skies all-cargo service, and beyond, to the extent allowed under the applicable agreement. The applicants provided a list of countries that each seeks to serve under the requested authority. The applicants also seek authority to serve Brunei Darussalam, New Zealand, Samoa, Singapore, and Tonga, each a signatory to the Multilateral Agreement on the Liberalization of International Air Transportation. The MALIAT includes open-skies rights.
The authority we grant to U.S. carriers to perform foreign air transportation includes authority to operate from points behind the United States. Accordingly, we will dismiss the applicants’ requests with respect to behind points.
For those services operated under current exemptions, the exemptions will terminate upon the effectiveness of the corresponding certificates of public convenience and necessity. By: Paul Gretch
OST-2007-27790 - Blanket Open-Skies Certificate Authority April 13, 2007 Amendment #1 of TradeWinds to Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity Tradewinds hereby applies pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41102, Subpart B of the Department’s Rules of Practice, and in response to the Department of Transportation’s recent Notice inviting applications for blanket open-skies certificate authority, to amend its current open-skies certificate of public convenience and necessity to the extent necessary to authorize it to provide scheduled air transportation of property and mail to include all countries that have concluded “Open Skies” Air Services Agreements with the United States since issuance of its current open-skies certificate on August 9, 2006, along with prospective blanket certificate authority to serve any future open-skies partner once an agreement between the United States and that partner comes into force and effect, without the need for further action by the carrier or the Department. In the alternative, Tradewinds seeks issuance of a new blanket certificate. By Order 2006-10-1 dated August 9, 2006, Tradewinds was granted all-cargo open-skies certificate authority. Such authority was inclusive of all open skies agreements between Counsel: Pierre Murphy, 202-776-3980, pmurphy@lopmurphy.com
Order 2007-7-4 Issued May 7, 2007 | Served July 10, 2007 Order Issuing Certificates - All-Cargo - Bookmarked By this order we grant certificate authority to the above-captioned carriers to provide all-cargo service to all of our foreign aviation partners that have entered into an open-skies agreement with the United States where that agreement is being applied. The authority granted by this order supersedes any orders previously issued or actions taken by the Department to the extent such orders or actions grant the carrier operating rights to an open-skies partner. For those services currently operated under an exemption, the exemption will terminate upon the effectiveness of the attached certificate of public convenience and necessity. Currently authorized certificate authority to serve an open-skies partner will be realigned such that all authority held by the carrier to serve markets covered by a currently applied open-skies agreement is consolidated into a single certificate.
