Transaero states as follows in support of its application:

1. Transaero’s exemption authority for Boston/Los Angeles/Orlando/San Francisco

Moscow codesharing with Virgin Atlantic was originally granted to Transaero by Notice of

Action Taken dated August 2 8, 201 2 and most recently renewed by Notice of Action Taken

dated July 30, 2013, in this docket . Absent renewal, Transaero’s exemption authority will expire

on July 30, 2014

.

2. Renewal of Transaero’s exemption authority will allow it to continue providing

significant benefits to passengers traveling in these market s , stimulating demand, increasing

competition and enhancing consumer convenience by offering single

- carrier reservations and

ticketing. Renewal of Transaero’s exemption authority is als o consistent with the Multilateral

Agreement on the Liberalization of International Air Transport (MALIAT), the Annexes to the

1994 U.S.

- Russian Federation Air Transport Agreement (as amended by the February 13, 2009

U.S.

- Russia Memorandum of Consultations), and the overall state of aviation relations between

the United States and the Russian Federation. 2

3. Transaero holds a foreign air carrier permit authorizing it to engage in scheduled

foreign air transportation of persons, property, and ma il from any point or points behind the

Russian Federation, via any point or points in the Russian Federation and intermediate points, to

Los Angeles , New York, Miami and San Francisco ; and charter foreign transportation of

persons, property and mail betwee n points in the Russian Federation and points in the United
