By applications filed March 14, 2006, ACM Air Charter Luftfahrtgesellschaft mbH, a foreign air carrier of Germany, requests an initial exemption under 49 U.S.C. §40109, and a foreign air carrier permit under 49 U.S.C. §41301, to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail, using small aircraft (1) between any point or points in Germany and any point or points in the United States; (2) between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in a third country or countries, provided that, except with respect to cargo charters, such service constitutes part of a continuous operation, with or without a change of aircraft, that includes air service to Germany for the purpose of carrying local traffic between Germany and the United States; and (3) between third countries and the United States in accordance with 14 CFR Part 212. The applicant requests that the exemption authority it seeks be granted for a term of at least two years.
