APPLICATION OF IBEX AIRLINES CO., LTD. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

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

IBEX Airlines Co., Ltd. ("IBEX") hereby requests renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 

41301 granted in this docket. IBEX requests a renewal of its application for a period of two 

years. 

In support of its application, IBEX states as follows: 

1. IBEX holds exemption authority permitting it to engage in scheduled foreign air 

transportation of persons, property, and mail between any point in Japan and any point or points 

in the United States pursuant to code-share arrangements with United Air Lines, Inc. ("United") 

and Continental Airlines, Inc. (,Continental"). I Notice of Action Taken, April 23, 2010. 

I IBEX holds statements of authorization pursuant to 14 CFR Part 212 to display United's and Continental's code 

on flights operated by IBEX between points in Japan (limited to the carriage of United's and Continental's U.S. -

Japan traffic). 
Application of IBEX Airlines Co., Ltd.

2. The exemption granted by the Department expires on April 24, 2011. By this 

application, IBEX seeks a renewal of its existing exemption authority to continue its operations 

with United and Continental. 

3. The renewed exemption sought by IBEX remains consistent with both the 2010 

U.S. - Japan Memorandum of Understanding and the public interest. 

4. IBEX continues to hold the appropriate operating authority from the Government 

of Japan for the services described herein. In addition, IBEX continues in all respects to be fit, 

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

5. IBEX will accept all terms, limitations, and conditions that the Department 

normally attaches to exemption authority for foreign air transportation, and IBEX will comply 

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

issued thereunder. 

6. 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)(1) of the 

Department's regulations. 

7. Pursuant to section 377.1 O(a) of the Department's regulations, IBEX states its 

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

current exemption authorization for the services specified in this application, pending a final 

determination of this renewal application. 
Application of IBEX Airlines Co., Ltd.

exemption authority for a period of two years. IBEX also requests such further, different, and 

additional relief as the Department may deem appropriate.
