Dated: December 22, 2011 

JOINT APPLICATION OF 

ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS CO., LTD. AND AIR JAPAN CO., LTD. 

All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. ("ANA") holds a statement of authorization issued in this 

docket to display the "5X" designator code of United Parcel Service Co. ("UPS"), on certain 

ANA flights, for the purpose of carrying cargo. Pursuant to 14 C.F .R. Part 212, ANA hereby 

applies for an amendment to its statement of authorization in order to permit ANA to display 

UPS's code on ANA flights for the purpose of transporting U.S. mail, as more fully described 

below. In addition, Air Japan Co., Ltd. ("Air Japan") applies for a statement of authorization 

permitting it to display UPS's code on code share flights operated by it on a wet lease basis for 

ANA. ANA and Air Japan also request a waiver of the Department's 45-day advance filing 

requirement. 

In support of this Application, ANA and Air Japan states as follows: 

1. ANA and UPS are parties to a Code Share Agreement for Cargo and Mail dated 

February 26, 2009 ("the Agreement"), pursuant to which ANA displays the 5X* code on various

ANA flights.' On March 12, 2009, the Department initially granted ANA a statement of 

authorization in this docket permitting it to display UPS's code on ANA flights. The Department 

has granted subsequent applications to amend the statement of authorization on October 9, 2009, 

March 16, 2010 and March 26, 2010. To date, the codeshare services undertaken by ANA and 

UPS have involved cargo only. 

2. Pursuant to the Agreement, beginning on February 4, 2012, ANA and UPS intend 

to display UPS's code on ANA flights for the purpose of transporting U.S. mail between points 

in the U.S. and points in Japan and beyond Japan (blind sector).2 Accordingly, ANA requests an 

amended statement of authorization permitting it to display UPS's code on ANA flights between 

points in the U.S. and points in Japan and beyond Japan, for the purpose of transporting U.S. 

mail. The initial city-pairs covered by the carriers' mail codeshare arrangement are listed in 

Appendix A hereto. 

3. Air Japan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ANA and routinely wet leases aircraft 

to ANA, including flights in certain of the city-pairs listed in Appendix A. Accordingly, Air 

Japan requests a statement of authorization permitting it to display the UPS code on codeshare 

flights operated by it on a wet lease basis for ANA, in connection with ANA's codeshare 

agreement with UPS. 

4. ANA and Air Japan hold all underlying authority necessary to operate the 

codeshare flights. ANA holds a foreign air carrier permit authorizing it, inter alia, to engage in 

scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points

points in Japan, and beyond each of those points to two points. (Order 98-6-22). 4 UPS also 

holds exemption authority to engage in foreign air transportation of property and mail between 

any point or point in the United States and a third point in Japan, and beyond that point to and

interest and are fully consistent with the Civil Air Transport Agreement between Japan and the

effect for an indefinite period, subject to the conditions normally imposed by the Department.

arrangement and intend to commence the proposed codeshare operations on February 4, 2012, 

following the termination of ANA's existing mail codeshare arrangement with Continental 

Airlines on February 3 (see footnote 2, supra). Accordingly, ANA and Air Japan respectfully 

request a waiver of the 45-day advance filing requirement under 14 C.F.R. § 212.10(d)(2).
