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

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

AeroLogic further requests that the requested authorization be issued expeditiously so

1. Pursuant to a codeshare agreement be tween 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 transportati on between any point or points in the United States and any
