LAN CARGO S.A. 

for exemption authority pursuant to

DOCKET OST-2001-10708 

APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and 14 C.F.R. Part 302, LAN CARGO S.A. ("LAN 

CARGO") hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 to engage in: 

(a) the scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail from 

points behind Chile via Chile and intermediate points to a point or points in 

the United States and beyond; and 

(b) the scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between the 

United States and any point or points. 

The requested authority is consistent with and encompassed by the Open Skies Air Transport 

Agreement between the United States and Chile. 

In support of this application, LAN CARGO states as follows: 

1. On November 12, 2009, the Department of Transportation (the "Department") issued a 

renewal of the Notice of Action under OST-2001-10708, approving this exemption authority. 

This exemption authority was issued for two years and is currently set to expire on November 

12,2011. 

2 
2. LAN CARGO is fit, willing and has already and continues to perform all services 

encompassed by its current exemption and by this renewal application. LAN CARGO holds a 

foreign air carrier permit authorizing it to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation between 

points in Chile and Miami, via intermediate points. Order 81-8-118. The authority requested 

herein will enable LAN CARGO to continue developing the range of services that it offers 

between the United States and Chile and provides LAN CARGO the full flexibility of operation 

that is contemplated by the Agreement for carriers of both countries. 

3. LAN CARGO requests that the authority sought herein remain in effect for a period of not 

less than two years. On October 19, 2007 LAN CARGO filed an application to amend its 

foreign air carrier permit to encompass all of the rights available to Chilean carriers under the 

Open Skies Air Transport Agreement. The Department has yet to pronounce on LAN CARGO's 

amendment. 

4. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §377.10, LAN CARGO relies on the provisions of5 U.S.C. § 558(c) to 

continue LAN CARGO's current exemption authority in effect until final action is taken on this 

renewal application. 

3 
WHEREFORE, LAN CARGO requests that the Department grant a renewal of the exemption 

authority described above. 

Respectfully submitted, 

LAN CARGO S.A.
