Docket No. OST-2005-21868 

APPLICATION OF AIR PACIFIC LIMITED 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and Subpart C of the Department's Rules of Practice, Air 

Pacific Limited ("Air Pacific") hereby requests renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 

authorizing Air Pacific to engage in scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail 

between Nadi, Fiji and Honolulu, Hawaii via Christmas Island, Kiribati. 

In support of this application, Air Pacific respectfully states as follows: 

1. On July 7, 2011, the Department renewed Air Pacific's exemption authority in 

this docket to perform "scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail between Nadi, 

Fiji, and Honolulu, Hawaii via Christmas Island, Kiribati." Air Pacific's exemption authority 

expires on July 7, 2012. By this application, Air Pacific seeks renewal of its exemption authority 

to continue operating these services. 

2. The renewed exemption authority sought by Air Pacific remains consistent with 

the principles of comity and reciprocity, as the Governments of the United States and Fiji enjoy 

warm aviation relations, and with the public interest. Air Pacific's services provide a valuable 

and necessary air transportation link between the South Pacific and the U.S.

3. Air Pacific continues to hold the appropriate operating authority from the 

Government of Fiji for the services described herein. In addition, Air Pacific continues in all 

respects to be fit, willing, and able to perform the services contemplated by this application. 

4. Air Pacific will accept all terms, limitations, and conditions that the Department 

normally attaches to exemption authority for foreign air transportation, and Air Pacific will 

comply with the provisions of the Transportation Code as well as the rules, regulations, and 

requirements issued thereunder. 

5. Renewal of this exemption authority will not constitute a "major regulatory 

action" under the Energy and Conservation Act of 1975, as defined in section 313.4(a)(l) of the 

Department's Regulations. 

6. Pursuant to Section 377.10(a) of the Department's Regulations, Air Pacific states 

its intention to rely upon 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as implemented by Part 377, to continue in effect its 

current exemption authority for the service specified in this application, pending a final 

determination of this renewal application.

further, different, and additional relief as the Department may deem appropriate.
