APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION Salsa d’Haiti (“Salsa”) hereby requests renewal of the exemption authority granted to it by the Department of Transportation (“Department”) in the above-captioned docket to (i) perform scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Haiti, on the one hand, and any point or points in the United States, on the other hand; and (ii) conduct charters in accordance with the requirements of 14 C.F.R. 212, using aircraft wet leased from, or pursuant to a codeshare arrangement with, a duly authorized U.S. or foreign air carrier. Salsa requests renewal of this exemption for a one-year period on its existing terms and conditions. Salsa relies upon the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act and Part 377 of the Department’s procedural regulations to continue its existing authorization in force pending a final decision on this renewal request. As indicated below, all of the factors that originally led the Department to grant this exemption to Salsa continue in existence at the present time.

304801/1/WASHINGTON on the part of the Government of Haiti provide firm justification for the renewal of this operating authority. In further support of its request for renewal, Salsa states as follows: 1. Salsa holds authority to operate scheduled services between Haiti and the United States, and to conduct charters in accordance with the Department’s regulations using wet leased aircraft or pursuant to a codeshare arrangement with an authorized carrier. Although Salsa does not currently offer service to the United States, it wishes to renew its authority so that operations can commence without delay. 2. Service between the United States and Haiti is not governed by a bilateral air transport agreement. Rather, the U.S.-Haiti aviation relationship is based on comity and reciprocity. The air transport market between the two countries has historically been open to all carriers, and the Department found previously that sufficient comity and reciprocity exist to support approval of Salsa’s service. 3. Salsa remains fit. Salsa is subject to the safety and operational rules of the Government of Haiti. Haiti is a contracting party to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and observes all applicable ICAO standards. 4. This renewal application raises no environmental or energy issues. Similarly, approval of this renewal application will not result in a near term increase in fuel consumption of ten million gallons or more.Renewal Application of Salsa d’Haiti
