BEFORE THE 

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

Application of 

 AEROLOGIC GMBH

for a statement of authorization (codesharing) 

Docket DOT-OST-2015- 

APPLICATION OF AEROLOGIC GMBH 

FOR A STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION 

 Pursuant to § 212.9 of the Department’s regulations, AeroLogic GmbH (“AeroLogic”) 

hereby applies for a statement of authorization to the extent necessary to enable AeroLogic to 

display the PO* designator code of Polar Air Cargo (“Polar”) on flights operated by AeroLogic 

for the purpose of transporting cargo and mail.1

 More specifically, AeroLogic requests authority 

to display the PO* airline designator code of Polar on flights operated by AeroLogic between 

Hong Kong and Cincinnati, Ohio, in either or both directions. 

 AeroLogic further requests that the requested authorization be issued expeditiously so 

that Polar can begin marketing this service as soon as possible after receipt of all requested 

government authorizations. AeroLogic also requests that the requested authorization be 

continued indefinitely to the extent consistent with the Department’s policies.2

 AeroLogic requests a waiver of the 45-day advance filing requirement specified in Section 212.10 

of the Department’s regulations.

 In support of this application, AeroLogic states as follows: 

 1. Pursuant to a codeshare agreement between AeroLogic and Polar, AeroLogic has 

agreed to display Polar’s PO* designator code on all-cargo flights operated by AeroLogic 

between Hong Kong (HKG) and Cincinnati, Ohio (CVG). 

 2. AeroLogic, a carrier of Germany, holds a foreign air carrier permit issued by 

Order 2010-2-19 (December 16, 2009) authorizing it to engage, inter alia, in foreign scheduled 

and charter cargo air transportation between any point or points in the United States and any 

other point or points. Accordingly, AeroLogic holds all requisite underlying authority. 

 3. Similarly, Polar holds the requisite Certificates of Public Convenience and 

Necessity for foreign air transportation of property and mail to serve Hong Kong (See Orders 

2007-5-4 and 2007-6-17 for Routes 651, 696, 727, 820 and Blanket Route Integration). 

 4. The requested authority is consistent with the 2007 U.S.-EU Open Skies 

Agreement, Article 10 of which authorizes cooperative marketing arrangements including 

codesharing with third-country airlines. Moreover, the proposed codeshare services will offer 

the shipping public additional transportation options. Grant of the requested authority would 

therefore be consistent with the public interest. 

 

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE 

 I hereby certify that on this 22nd day of May 2015, a copy of the foregoing application has 

been served by electronic mail on the parties named below.
