OST-2006-26586 - Exemption - Trinidad & Tobago-US via Intermediate Points December 8, 2006 Caribbean Airlines Limited, an air carrier newly formed, entirely owned, and effectively controlled by the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, respectfully requests an exemption from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 41301 to the extent necessary to permit it to engage in: (a) scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail over the following routes:
(b) charter air transportation of persons, property and mail between points in Trinidad and Tobago and points in the United States; and (c) other charters pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 212. CAL requests that the Department grant its application expeditiously, as the Trinidad and Tobago government has directed CAL to assume operations as the nation's flag carrier on January 1, 2007, and for an initial period of one year. CAL will poll the U.S. airlines shown on the service list. CAL has chosen to request the broad authority available under the bilateral rather than seek to reproduce BWIA's current DOT authority in Dockets OST-1995-112, OST-1999-6030, OST-2000-6995, OST-2000-7317, and OST-2000-8211. While the Air Transport Licensing Authority of Trinidad and Tobago has not yet issued CAL a formal license, CAL respectfully suggests that the Department may proceed now to issue the requested exemption authority, which CAL would only exercise once "it holds a currently effective authorization from its homeland for such operations." Counsel: Law Office of John Mietus, 301-571-9334, john@mietuslaw.com
December 22, 2006 Supplement No. 1 to Application for an Exemption The Air Transport Licensing Authority of Trinidad and Tobago met on December 20, 2006 and issued CAL the operating authority appended to this Supplement as Exhibit 1.

A four‑member Board of Directors, all Trinidad and Tobago citizens, will oversee the airline: Chairman Arthur Lok Jack (a Trinidad businessman who chairs the Boards of the Associated Brands Group and Neal & Massy Holdings in Trinidad), Gervase Warner (Executive Chairman, Neal & Massy Energy Business Unit), William Lucie‑Smith (consultant and recently retired Senior Partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers Trinidad), and Robert Riley (Chairman and CEO of bp Trinidad and Tobago and an attorney‑at‑law). Chief Executive Officer Peter Davies and Executive Vice President, Operations Captain Ian Brunton have been formally named to the management team. In addition, the Air Operator's Certificate issued to CAL by the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority on December 15 identifies additional managers with safety‑related responsibilities. Brief descriptions of these managers follow (all are Trinidad and Tobago citizens except Mr. Davies, a British citizen). Counsel: John Mietus, 301-571-9334
