. Like other airlines flying international
routes, from time to time we may be subject to civil fines and penalties imposed by CBP for failure to comply with immigration laws or
if un-manifested or illegal cargo, such as illegal narcotics, is found on our aircraft, among other issues. These fines and penalties,
which in the case of narcotics are based upon the retail value of the seizure, may be substantial. We have implemented a comprehensive
security program at our airports to reduce the risk of illegal cargo being placed on our aircraft, and we seek to cooperate actively with
CBP and other U. S. and foreign law enforcement agencies in investigating incidents or attempts to introduce illegal cargo onto our flights.

Our flight operations are also subject to Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (“ APHIS”) (an agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture) requirements. APHIS imposes restrictions
on the agricultural products that may be transported to and from the United States, how we cater our flights and how we handle trash generated
during flights landing in the United States. APHIS can impose fines and penalties for non-compliance with these requirements. We comply
with all APHIS cargo requirements and regulations related to our flights.

Security Regulation

TSA was created in 2001 with the responsibility and authority
to oversee the implementation, and ensure the adequacy, of security measures at airports and other transportation facilities in the United
States. Since the creation of TSA, airport security has seen significant changes including enhancement of flight deck security, the deployment
of federal air marshals onboard flights, increased airport perimeter access security, increased airline crew security training, enhanced
security screening of passengers, baggage, cargo and employees, training of security screening personnel, increased passenger and crew
manifest collections and CBP transmittal requirements, expanded background checks, and additional restrictions on carry-on baggage. Funding
for passenger security is provided in part by a per enplanement ticket tax (passenger security fee) of U. S. $5.60 for air transportation
that originates at an airport in the United States. TSA was granted authority to impose additional fees on air carriers if necessary to
cover additional federal aviation security costs. Pursuant to its authority, TSA may revise the way it assesses this fee, which could
result in increased costs for passengers and/or us. We cannot predict what additional security and safety requirements may be imposed
in the future or the costs or revenue impact that would
