Date: Thursday, June 19, 2014 12:32:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: Don Horn To: Deborah Ale Flint, Charles Leocha Blane asked me to get back to you on your request to discuss the appllcatlen ' of N6rw ! e gi ~ n 

## 52 Air International Limited (NAI) for authority to conduct U.S. services. Because a number of interested parties have filed responsive pleadings to NAI's application and this matter is currently pending before the Department, I am sure you understand that we cannot comment on the merits of NAI's application. I can assure you, however, that we will give full and careful consideration to all of the pleadings filed on the record before we reach a determination in this matter. As is our standard practice, I am placing a copy of your email and my response in Docket DOT-OST-2013-0204, as a contact outside the record of this case. You may track the progress of this case and view the publicly available documents filed in the docket by accessing the Federal Docket Management System at www.regulations
. gov and searching for Docket DOT-OST-2013-0204. I hope this information is helpful.
