Docket DOT-OST-2011-0233

October 25, 2013

APPLICATION OF FRONTIER AIRLINES, INC.

FOR RENEWAL OF AN EXEMPTION

Pursuant to Subpart C of the Department’s Rules of Practice,

Frontier Airlines, Inc. (“Frontier”) hereby applies under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 for renewal of

its exemption authorizing it to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons,

property, and mail between a point or points in the United States and a point or points in

the Dominican Republic. Frontier requests that this exemption authority be renewed for

a period of at least two years.

In support of this Renewal Application, Frontier states as follows:

1. By Notice of Action Taken, dated December 28, 2011, in this Docket, the

Department granted Frontier exemption authority for scheduled foreign air transportation

of persons, property, and mail between the United States and the Dominican Republic.

Frontier operates scheduled service between several U.S. cities and the Dominican

Republic.

2. Approval of this renewal application is in the public interest. Frontier’s

services under this exemption authority provide attractive, competitive air transportation

options for travelers seeking convenient service between the United States and the

Dominican Republic.

3. Renewal of this exemption authority is also fully consistent with the terms

of the Air Transport Agreement between the United States and the Dominican Republic

and the overall state of aviation relations between the two countries, as the Department

previously concluded in granting this authority in 2011.

4. Frontier requests that the Department take official notice, pursuant to

Rule 24 of the Department’s Rules of Practice, of all other data on file with the

Department necessary to establish its fitness.

5. In filing this renewal application, Frontier hereby invokes the automatic

extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as

implemented by 14 C.F.R. Part 377. Frontier’s current exemption authority for United

States – Dominican Republic service expires on December 28, 2013. This application is

therefore timely filed pursuant to Section 377.10(c).

WHEREFORE, Frontier respectfully requests that the Department promptly

renew Frontier’s exemption authority for scheduled foreign air transportation of persons,

property, and mail between the United States and the Dominican Republic, as described

herein.

Respectfully submitted,
