Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §§40109, 41301 and Part 211 of the Department's Economic Regulations,

necessary to permit TIARA AIR N.V. to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons and

property between Queen Beatrix International Airport in Aruba, a nd the Fort Lauderdale International

Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This authority is requested on the basis of the Open Skies

agreements existing between the authorities of the United States of America and Aruba.

In support of its application and pursuant to the Department's Procedural Regulations,

TIARA AIR N.V submits the following information:

1. TIARA AIR N.V is a privately owned corporation, incorporated under the laws of the island of

Aruba. All its shares belong to Alejandro Muyal e

, a citizen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands,

and thus its offshore territory of Aruba, and a resident of the island of Aruba. See a copy of the

Aruba Chamber of Commerce website,3 | Page ht tp://www.arubachamber.com/registry/registry_search.afp attached hereto as Exhibit TA

- 9.

2. The Department of Civil Aviation is the government air transport authority and its director is

Mr. Josef Maduro, located at:

Sabana Berde 73

- sto p from Aruba to

Fort Lauderdale, and vice

- versa. TIARA AIR has received a letter from the Department of Civil

Aviation Aruba dated April 29, 2011 designating TIARA AIR on the above mentioned routes.

The letter referenced above is attached as Exhibit TA

- 8.

4. All shares of TIARA AIR N.V. belong to Alejandro Muyale

, a citizen of the Kingdom of the

Netherlands, and a resident of the island of Aruba.

5. TIARA is a respected air carrier in Aruba, serving Aruba and the surrounding countries since

April 2006. TIARA AIR began operations with around twenty employees, and has grown to the

current operation and management of over seventy highly experienced individuals.

A summary of the history of the airline is attached as Exhibit TA

- 9.

6. TIARA AIR is fit, willing, and able to provide the Scheduled and Charter services applied for

herein. The officers, directors

, and key management personnel are all experienced in their

respective fields, including aircraft management and aircraft maintenance, and the company is

led by highly experienced business persons who understand what it takes to make an

governed by principles of “comity and reciprocity.”

As the Department has consistently found, the charter and scheduled services proposed herein

are fully support ed by comity and reciprocity principles since many USA carriers operate charter

and scheduled air services between the USA and Aruba.

9. Because of the limited scope of its proposed operations, the issuance to Applicant of an

Exemption will not constitute a "major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the

human environment" within the meaning of §102(2) (c) of the National Environmental Policy

Act or a "major regulatory action" under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.5 | Page WHEREFORE, TIARA AIR respectfully requests that the Department issue to it an Exemption, to

TIARA AIR is a respected air carrier in Aruba, having started operations in April of 2006, between the

islands of Aruba and Curacao, and Aruba

- Punto Fijo in the Paraguaná peninsula in Venezuela, utilizing

its first aircraft, a twin engine turbo prop, Shorts 360.

The company flights were increased when a second aircraft was added to the operation in 2008, and new

services begun to the neighboring island of Bonaire, then later to Rio hacha, in the Colombian Guajira

Peninsula, and more recently in 2011 TIARA AIR began service to Maracaibo, Venezuela's main oil

producing city.

TIARA AIR began operations with approximately twenty employees, and has grown to the current

operation and mana gement of over seventy highly experienced individuals. Because of the size of its

operation, its experience, respect and its safety record, TIARA AIR plans to increase its staff size to

approximately ninety employees, with the implementation of the 737 ope ration, which operation is

planned to satisfy the strong demand for flights to the USA. An excerpt from the Aruba Chamber of

Commerce & Industry website follows, which extract verifies the status and particulars of TIARA AIR.37 | Page38 | Page
