### Terms, Conditions, and Limitations

JET

- A , LLC

is authorized to engage in interstate charter air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point in any State, territory, or possession of the United States or the District of Columbia, and any other point in any of those entities.

This auth ority is subject to the following provisions:

(1) The authority to operate under this certificate will not become effective until six (business) days after the Department has received the following documents; provided

, however

, that the Department may stay the effectiveness of this authority at any time prior to that date:

(a) A copy of the holder's Air Carrier Certificate and Operations Specifications authorizing such operations from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

(b) A certificate of ins urance on OST Form 6410 evidencing liability insurance coverage meeting the requirements of 14 CFR 205.5(b) for all of its aircraft.

(c) A statement of any changes the holder has undergone in its ownership, key personnel, operating plans, financial postur e, or compliance history, since the date of the

Show Cause Order in this case.

(d) A revised list of pre

- operating expenses already paid and those remaining to be paid, as well as independent verification that the holder has available to it funds sufficie nt to cover any remaining pre

- operating expenses and to provide a working capital reserve equal to the operating costs that would be incurred in three months of operations.

(2) Pending receipt of effective authority, the holder may not accept payment of a ny kind (i.e., cash, check, or credit card), issue tickets for the operations proposed under this certificate, or enter into contracts with charter operators, and any advertisement by the holder must prominently state: "This service is subject to receipt o f government operating authority."

(3) The holder shall at all times conduct its operations in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Department of Transportation for the services authorized by this certificate,

and with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and limitations as the Department of Transportation may prescribe in the public interest.2

(4) The holder's authority under this certificate is effective only to the extent that such operations are also authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and comply with all U.S. Government requirements concerning security, including, but not li mited to, 49 CFR

Part 1544. 

(5) The holder shall at all times remain a "Citizen of the United States" as required by

49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15).

(6) The holder shall maintain in effect liability insurance coverage as required under

14 CFR Part 205. Failure to maintain such insurance coverage will render a certificate ineffective, and this or other failure to comply with the provisions of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the

United States C ode or the Department's regulations shall be sufficient grounds to revoke this certificate.

(7) The holder is not authorized to engage in air transportation operations between points within the State of Alaska.

(8) Should the holder propose any substantial changes in its ownership, management, or operations (as that term is defined in 14 CFR 204.2(l)), it must first comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 204.5.

(9) In the event that the holder does not commence actual flying operations under this certificate within one year of the date of the Department's determination of it s fitness, its authority shall be revoked for dormancy, unless the holder is conducting operations under another type of certificate authority. Further, in the event that the holder commences operations for which it was found "fit, willing, and able" and subsequently ceases all such operations, its authority under all certificates held shall be suspended under the terms of 14 CFR 204.7 and the holder may neither recommence nor advertise such operations unless its fitness to do so has been redetermined by t he Department. Moreover, if the holder does not resume operations within one year of its cessation, its authority shall be revoked for dormancy.

 To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing any new service (including charter flights) to or from a foreign airport, contact its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to advise the PSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to allow such airport( s)

to be served.Attachment A
