|
OST-2007-28129 - Exemption and Foreign Air Carrier Permit - Finland-US Charters January 14, 2008 Application for an Exemption and Amended Foreign Air Carrier Permit Air Finland Ltd., an air carrier of the Republic of Finland, respectfully requests that the Department amend Air Finland’s foreign air carrier permit to engage in charter air transportation of persons, property, and mail, between a point or points in the European Union and European Common Aviation Area, and a point or points in the United States, via intermediate points, to the full extent allowed under the Air Transport Agreement between the United States and the European Community and the Member States of the European Community. Air Finland requests that the Department process this application on an expedited basis and grant Air Finland’s amended foreign air carrier permit so Air Finland can begin selling the proposed services as soon as possible. In this regard, Air Finland respectfully requests the Department issue a single order: (1) granting the requested exemption authority for a two-year period or until after the effective date of the requested amended permit authority; and (2) approving amended foreign air carrier permit authority under the streamlined procedures set forth in the August 23, 2005 Notice, unless the Department deems that proceeding directly to a final order issuing an amended foreign carrier permit to Air Finland is appropriate. Counsel: Pillsbury Winthrop, Josh Romanow, 202-663-8000 Order 2008-2-33 Issued and Served February 27, 2008 Order Granting Exemption and to Show Cause We grant the request of Oy Air Finland Ltd. for an exemption under 49 U.S.C. §40109 to permit it (1) effective on the issue date of this order, to accept payments, issue tickets, and enter into charter contracts, and (2) effective March 30, 2008, to commence flight operations, for the services set forth below: a) foreign charter air transportation of persons, property and mail from any point or points behind any Member State of the European Union, via any point or points in any Member State and via intermediate points to any point or points in the United States and beyond; b) foreign charter air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in any member of the European Common Aviation Area; c) foreign charter cargo air transportation between any point or points in the United States and any point or points; d) other charters pursuant to the prior approval requirements set forth in 14 CFR Part 212 of the Department’s regulations; and e) charter transportation authorized by any additional route rights made available to European Community carriers in the future. To the extent not acted upon above, we dismiss the applicant’s request for exemption authority in Docket OST-2008-0022. With respect to the applicant’s request for an amended foreign air carrier permit in this proceeding, we direct all interested persons to show cause why our tentative decision on that application, set forth above, should not be made final. Any interested person objecting to the issuance of an order making final our tentative findings and conclusions with respect to the applicant’s request for an amended foreign air carrier permit shall, no later than twenty-one calendar days after the date of service of this order, file with the Department.
