BEFORE THE

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

UNIFORM YANKEE JULIET AIR INC. Docket OST-2005-21116 

for an exemption pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109(c) 

(Canada-U.S. Scheduled and Charter Service) 

September 19, 2011 

APPLICATION OF 

UNIFORM YANKEE JULIET AIR INC. 

FOR RENEWAL OF AN EXEMPTION 

Uniform Yankee Juliet Air Inc. ("UYJ Air") hereby applies, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

§ 40109 and Subpart C of the Procedural Regulations of the Department of 

Transportation (the "Department" or "DOT"), for renewal of its temporary exemption 

from 49 U.S.C § 41301 authorizing UYJ Air to perform transborder scheduled and 

charter flights carrying persons, property and mail between any point or points in Canada 

and any point or points in the United States pursuant to the February 1995 Bilateral Air 

Transport Services Agreement between Canada and the United States, as amended (the 

"1995 Agreement"). The current exemption authority issued to UYJ Air was most 

recently granted by Notice of Action Taken, issued on September 28, 2009. 

UYJ Air requests that the foregoing authority be granted for a period of two years. 
Application of UYJ Air for 

Renewal of an Exemption (U.S.-Canada) 

In accordance with Section 302.303 and Section 211.20 of the Department's 

Regulations, UYJ Air submits the following information in support of this renewal 

application: 

1. Existing Authority and Operations. 

UYJ Air is a Canadian air carrier based in Mississauga, Ontario, and is presently 

engaged in operating scheduled and charter air transportation within Canada, and 

between Canada and points in the United States, and between Canada and points in Third 

Countries. UYJ Air currently operates an aircraft fleet consisting of two 8-passenger 

Learjet 45 aircraft, one 8-passenger Cessna Citation X Model C750 aircraft, one 7-

passenger Learjet 35A aircraft, and one 7-passenger Cessna 421C Golden Eagle multiengine piston aircraft. All five of the foregoing aircraft are registered in Canada. 

In addition to its current U.S. DOT Exemption authority, UYJ Air holds a Part 129 

Foreign Air Carrier Certificate and Operations Specifications issued to it by the U.S. 

Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") on or about October 31, 2005. In addition, 

UYJ Air holds Canadian Transportation Agency International License No. 050090, 

issued on July 26, 2005, and Transport Canada Air Operator Certificate No. 9785, 

effective December 31, 2002. The foregoing certificates and exemption authority 

authorize UYJ Air to operate scheduled and charter international air transportation 

between all points in Canada and all points in the United States. 
Application ofUYJ Air for 

Renewal of an Exemption (U.S.-Canada) 

2. Ownership, Citizenship and Fitness. 

There has been no material change in UYJ Air's ownership, board of directors, 

executive management and key operations management personnel, all of whom are 

citizens of Canada or are landed immigrants in Canada. During that same time period, 

there has been no material adverse change in UYJ Air's financial condition, scope and 

type of operations, compliance disposition history or safety record. 

3. Fitness and Public Interest. 

UYJ Air submits that the renewal of its existing exemption authority at issue is 

consistent with the public interest and Department precedent. UYJ Air has been found by 

the Department to be fit, willing and able to properly perform the foreign air 

transportation applied for herein and to conform to the provisions of the Federal Aviation 

Statutes and the rules, regulations and requirements of the Department thereunder. For 

the reasons stated above, the foreign air transportation which UYJ Air proposes to 

perform is presumptively consistent with the public interest. 

4. Applicable Bilateral Agreement and 5th Freedom Reciprocity. 

As the Department determined in its September 28, 2009 Notice of Action Taken 

in this proceeding, the exemption authority at issue is consistent with the February 1995 

Bilateral Air Transport Services Agreement between Canada and the United States, as 

amended. On July 6, 2011, the Canadian Transportation Agency filed, in DOT Docket 

OST-2006-24269, a statement of the policy of the Canadian Government regarding the 

granting of 5th freedom charter traffic rights to U.S. air carriers on the basis of reciprocity 
Application ofUYJ Air for 

Renewal of an Exemption (U.S.-Canada) 

on the part of the United States in granting such 5th freedom charter traffic rights to 

Canadian air carriers. 

5. Duration of Renewal. 

UYJ Air requests that the exemption authority at issue be renewed for a period of 

two years. Grant of a two-year renewal is consistent with the policy and practice of the 

Department in renewing exemption authority granted to foreign air carriers in similar 

cases. 

6. Automatic Extension. 

UYJ Air hereby invokes and relies upon the provisions of Section 558(c) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. §558(c), as implemented by Part 377 ofthe 

Department's Special Regulations (14 C.F.R. Part 377), to continue in effect UYJ Air's 

current temporary exemption authority to provide scheduled and charter foreign air 

transportation between Canada and the United States until the Department makes a final 

determination of this renewal application. In accordance with Section 3 77.1 0( c )(3) of the 

DOT's Special Regulations, this renewal application is being filed prior to the expiration 

date of the temporary authority at issue. 
Application of UYJ Air for 

Renewal of an Exemption (U.S.-Canada) 

WHEREFORE, Uniform Yankee Juliet Air Inc. respectfully requests the 

Department to issue an Order or Notice of Action Taken renewing UYJ Air's existing 

exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 to authorize UYJ Air to continue to provide 

scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between 

points in Canada and points in the United States, as requested in this application.
