**_4~9~u~.s_.c~·~§~4~0_10~9~(g~)**________________) February 9, 2015 SUPPLEMENT#1 TO APPLICATION OF ANTONOV AIRLINES FOR AN EMERGENCY EXEMPTION Antonov Company t/a Antonov Airlines ("Antonov") hereby supplements its application for an emergency exemption filed on February 4, 2015, pertaining to the air transportation of aircraft engines from Columbus (Rickenbacker Airport), Ohio to Seattle
or Everett, Washington using AN-124-100 aircraft. Antonov is submitting this supplement to request that the exemption authorize Antonov to operate (1) up to two such one-way all-cargo charter flights (2) each transporting up to five outsized aircraft engines, plus ancillary equipment, (3) during the period February 11-18, 2015. GE Aviation initially chartered Antonov to conduct a single flight transporting one outsized GEnx aircraft engine from Rickenbacker Airport to Seattle on or about February 11, 2015. GE Aviation has subsequently requested that Antonov perform a second flight carrying additional GEnx engines on or about February 16, 2014, 1 and Antonov has learned that it may be asked to carry as many as five (5) GEnx engines on each of these two flights, depending on how many engines are available on each flight date. Antonov anticipates carrying both GEnx-1 Bengines on shipping stands measuring approximately 210" x 142" x 149" each and GEnx-28 engines on shipping stands

See attached support letter from GE Aviation. Antonov requests a period of validity through February 18, 2015 to account for unforeseen flight or engine production delays. Furthermore, although the flights are currently anticipated to operate to Seattle (SEA) Antonov requests the flexibility to operate to Everett (PAE) instead to avoid the need to request a late notice amendment if PAE is chosen instead.

1\DC 027074/000001-6410595 v2Application ofAntonov Airlines Page 2 measuring approximately 192" x 135" x 147" each. Engines ofthese dimensions cannot be accommodated by any freighter aircraft operated by U.S. air carriers. The circumstances giving rise to this exemption application, as supplemented, and the justification for approval under 49 U.S.C. 

### § 40109(g) remain as stated in Antonov's initial application. GE Aviation has chartered Antonov to perform these flights to offset a costly production line work stoppage created by delayed engine deliveries. In order to minimize the impact of these delays, as many engines as possible need to be shipped by air, and because no civil aircraft operated by U.S. carriers are capable of carrying such outsized cargo, the only way to resolve this emergency is for the engines to be transported using AN-124-100 aircraft. WHEREFORE, Antonov respectfully requests that the Department issue an emergency exemption permitting Antonov to operate up to two (2) one-way all-cargo
equipment, from Columbus (Rickenbacker Airport), Ohio to Seattle or Everett, Washington, February 11-18, 2015, using an AN-124-100 aircraft, as described herein, and grant such other and further relief as the Department deems to be consistent with the public interest.
