APPLICATION OF TYROLEAN AIRWAYS TIROLER LUFTFAHRT GESMBH 

FOR A LIMITED RENEWAL OF A STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION 

Tyrolean Airways Tiroler Luftfahrt GesmbH ("Tyrolean"), a regional affiliate of 

Austrian Airlines AG ("Austrian"), hereby applies pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 212.10 for a 

limited two-month renewal of its statement of authorization allowing Tyrolean to wet lease 

aircraft to Austrian.

1 

In support of this application, Tyrolean submits the following: 

1. Tyrolean was initially granted a statement of authorization to wet lease 

aircraft to Austrian by Notice of Action Taken dated June 26, 2012 (Docket DOT-OST2012-0067), for a two year term expiring on June 26, 2014.-~ This statement of authorization 

1 Tyrolean has authorized counsel for Lufthansa to submit this application on its behalf. 

2 Tyrolean, in the same NOAT, was granted an indefinite statement of authorization to display the designator 

codes of United Airlines, Inc. ("United"), US Airways, Inc. ("US Airways"), and Austrian on Tyrolean's 

flights (see Notice of Action Taken dated June 26, 2012 in Docket DOT-OST-2012-0067).

Application of Tyrolean

was renewed, in part, for a period of seven months effective July 29, 2014, through March 1, 

2015. See Notice of Action Taken dated July 29, 2014 (Docket DOT-OST-2012-0067). 

2. In filing this limited renewal application, Tyrolean hereby invokes the 

automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as 

implemented by 14 C.F.R. Part 377, to continue Tyrolean's authority in effect pending the 

Department's final determination on this renewal application. This application is timely 

filed pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 377.10(c)(3). 

3. Tyrolean currently operates flights between the EU and the U.S., and 

between points within the EU, pursuant to exemption authority issued by the Department.J. 

On these flights, Tyrolean displays the airline designator codes of United, Lufthansa, and 

Austrian pursuant to a statement of authorization granted by the Department.1. Tyrolean's 

flights between the U.S. and Austria are operated pursuant to its wet lease agreement with 

Austrian . .2. 

4. Tyrolean will cease its U.S.-Austria wet lease operations for Austrian on 

March 31, 2015, as Austrian plans to resume operating this service on April1, 2015 

Therefore, Tyrolean seeks a very limited, two-month renewal of its statement of 

authorization through May 1, 2015, to allow it to continue operating the U.S.-Austria flights 

pending the recommencement of such flight operations by Austrian. 

1 Notice of Action Taken dated July 29,2014 (Docket DOT-OST-2000-7838). 

1 Notice of Action Taken dated June 26, 2012 (Docket DOT-OST-2012-0067). 

1 Austrian holds the necessary underlying authority to conduct these operations. Order 2007-11-7, issued 

September 7, 2007 (Docket DOT-OST-2007-28472). 
Application of Tyrolean

5. The Department has previously found Tyrolean's statement of authorization 

to be consistent with the Air Transport Agreement between the United States and the 

Member States of the European Union (the Open Skies Agreement). Its authority is also 

clearly consistent with the public interest, allowing Tyrolean to provide much needed air 

service options to consumers. Tyrolean's services have been well received by the traveling 

public. 

6. Tyrolean requests that its statement of authorization be reissued, consistent 

with the Department's prior practices and procedures, for a period of at least two months 

through May 1, 2015 to allow the transitioning of its U.S.-Austria flight operations to 

Austrian to be completed.

Department deems appropriate.
