MOTION OF AIR WISCONSIN AIRLINES CORPORATION

FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT

Pursuant to Rule 12 of the Department's Rules of Practice (14 C.F.R. ~ 302.12), Air

Wisconsin Airlines Corporation ("Air Wisconsin") hereby requests confidential treatment of

certain information contained in Schedule B-7 -- Airframe and Aircraft Engine Acquisitions and

Retirements -- of Air Wisconsin's Form 41 filing for the quarter ending September 30, 2013.

This Schedule has been submitted separately via the Department's eSubmit system, marked with

a request for confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 12 (~302.12). Air Wisconsin requests that

this data be withheld from public disclosure for a period of at least ten (10) years. In support of

this request, Air Wisconsin states as follows:

The Freedom oflnformation Act, 5 U.S.C. ~ 552(b)(4), provides that privileged or

confidential commercial and financial information obtained from a private person is specifically

2
exempted from the requirements of public disclosure due to its sensitive business nature.l

The

information for which Air Wisconsin requests confidential treatment is confidential and

proprietary commercial and financial information, obtained from Air Wisconsin, a private party,

the public release of which would cause substantial competitive and financial injury to Air

Wisconsin. Accordingly, the information should be withheld from public disclosure.

The information at issue is cost, amortization/depreciation and realization data relating to

Air Wisconsin's airframes and aircraft engines as of September 30, 2013. This information is

contained in column 10-12 of Air Wisconsin's Schedule B-7. See Exhibit A.

The Department has previously determined that the confidential and competitivelysensitive data contained in the B- 7 report is entitled to confidential treatment.

WHEREFORE, Air Wisconsin Airlines Corporation respectfully requests that the

confidential information contained in Schedule B-7 of its Form 41 report for the quarter ending

September 30, 2013 be withheld from public disclosure for at least ten (10) years.

Respectfully submitted,
