TACA International Airlines, S.A. ("TACA"), Trans American Airlines, S.A. d/b/a 

TACA Peru ("T ACA Peru"), Lineas Aereas Costarricenses S.A. ("LACSA"), and A viateca S.A. 

("Aviateca") (together, the "TACA Group") along with Aerovias Del Continente Arnericano 

S.A. (Avianca) (collectively, the "Joint Applicants") hereby request an exemption under 49 

U.S.C. § 40109 permitting them to register a joint trade name under 14 C.P.R. Part 215 for their 

collective use of the trade name "A vianca" and use of the designator code "A V" for their 

services in foreign air transportation to and from the United States. Additionally, the T ACA 

Group requests blanket statements of authorization pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 212 in order to 

display the "A V*" designator code as more fully described herein. The Joint Applicants plan to 

use the trade name "A vianca" and the "A V" designator code in their combined marketing and

sale of services to and from the United States, starting in the first quarter of 2013, as more fully 

described herein. 

I. Introduction 

Since 2005, TACA, TACA Peru, LACSA, and Aviateca have been authorized to operate 

under the common "TACA" trade name and "TA'' designator code.' In 2010, the Joint 

Applicants came under the common ownership of a single parent company. As such, the Joint 

Applicants now seek to maximize the marketing potential of their common ownership with a 

new trade name and designator code that represents the combined strength of the Joint 

Applicants throughout the Americas. As anticipated in the TACA Group's initial application, 

and as demonstrated during the subsequent seven years in which those carriers have operated 

under a common trade name and designator code,2 the use of such common branding has greatly 

simplified the marketing and promotion of their services, without any accompanying consumer 

confusion. The Joint Applicants firmly expect that these efficiencies and benefits will carry over 

into "A vianca" branded foreign air transportation services. 

The Department noted the benefits arising from common branding arrangements when it 

approved the TACA Group's initial application in 2005: 

[T]he grant of this authority, as conditioned, would be in the public interest, providing 

important public benefits by increasing consumer awareness of TACA Group services 

and by advancing our aviation relationships with TACA Group carriers' homelands. The 

1 See Order 2005-1-22 (Jan. 25, 2005), Docket OST-2004-17355, and subsequent renewals. 

2 While LAC SA holds exemption authority to operate under the common "T ACA" trade name and 'T A" designator 

code, it has continued to hold out and operate service under its own "LR" designator code. See Application for 

Renewal of Exemption in Docket OST-2004-17355 (January 13, 2010), at 3, n.2. LACSA will, however, 

complete the necessary technological changes necessary to exclusively use the "A vianca" trade name and "A V" 

designator code. 
Joint Application of A vianca, T ACA, 

T ACA Peru, LACS A and A viateca 

Page 3 

TACA Group's plan would increase consumer awareness of the Group's services, and 

this could benefit the traveling public by promoting competition in the affected markets. 

Order 2005-2-2 at 3. Soon thereafter, the Department reached a similar conclusion when it 

approved the common branding arrangement proposed by LAN Airlines, S.A., LAN Peru, S.A., 

and Transporte Aereo, S.A. in October of2005 (see Order 2005-10-9 at 7). 

Each of the Joint Applicants' homelands has signed an open skies agreement with the 

U.S. Avianca's homeland of Colombia recently became the lOOth open skies partner of the 

United States.3 In this regard, Article 8, paragraph 7 of the U.S.- Colombia Agreement allows 

for cooperative marketing arrangements such as those proposed herein, stating, in relevant part: 

In operating or holding out the authorized services under this Agreement, any airline of 

one Party may enter into cooperative marketing arrangements such as blocked-space, 

code-sharing, interchange or leasing arrangements, with 

a. an airline or airlines of either Party 

b. an airline or airlines of a third country; and 

c. a surface transportation provider of any country; 

provided that all participants in such arrangements (i) hold the appropriate authority and 

(ii) meet the requirements normally applied to such arrangements.4 

See DOT November 12, 20 I 0 press release available at http://www.dot.gov/affairs/20 IO/dotl991 O.html; Air 

Transport Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the 

Republic of Colombia (signed May 10, 2011) ("U.S.- Colombia Agreement"). Importantly, the U.S.- Colombia 

Agreement immediately expanded the number of points that carriers of each country could serve; increased the 

frequencies available to carriers; and significantly expanded codesharing opportunities. Although Annex I of the 

U.S.- Colombia Agreement contains certain transitional provisions that run through December 31, 2012, these 

provisions do not restrict the grant of authority sought herein. By way of explanation, under paragraph 2.d of 

Section 1 of the Annex, "for purposes of serving as the non-operating carrier on a code-share only basis," a carrier 

designated by the Government of Colombia is entitled to provide air services "from points behind Colombia, via 

Colombia and intermediate points to points in the United States and beyond." Moreover, under paragraph 3 of 

Section 2 of the Annex, the frequency limitations set forth under the Annex "do not apply to the non-operating 

carriers participating in code-share arrangements." 

4 As more fully discussed herein, A vianca intends to obtain economic authority from the Department fully 

encompassing the rights to which it is presently entitled under the U.S. - Colombia Agreement as well as those 

rights which shall become available after December 31, 2012.

II. Common Trade Name and Designator Code 

I. The Joint Applicants will identify all scheduled flights in foreign atr 

transportation to and from the United States under the common "A V" designator code. 

Individual carrier codes will not be utilized. The Joint Applicants will hold out their proposed 

services in compliance with 14 C.F.R. Part 257 and 49 U.S.C. § 41712(c). 

2. The Joint Applicants will continue the TACA Group carriers' practice of using 

unique flight numbers to identify the operator of each flight. Consumers and regulators will be 

able to easily identify the operator( s) of flight( s) held out to the public as "A vianca" according to 

the unique flight number(s). 

3. All advertisements for flights covered by this Application and operated by the 

TACA Group will include a prominent disclosure that flights may be operated by one or more of 

the Joint Applicants. 5 An example of such an advertising disclosure is set forth in Exhibit A. 

4. "Avianca" marketed flights covered by this Application and operated by the 

TACA Group will be listed in the Official Airline Guide ("OAG") with the "A V" designator 

code and unique flight numbers. Such flights will be clearly marked to indicate to consumers 

that they should refer to the back of the OAG to determine the operating carrier's identity, 

similar to a codeshare disclosure. This practice remains consistent with OAG's practice for 

codeshare flights as well as Department policy and regulation. Examples of OAG flight listings 

are set forth in Exhibit B. 

5 No flights will be sold or operated by "AviancaTACA." AviancaTACA is the name of the holding company 

which has ultimate ownership of the Joint Applicants, and is convenient shorthand to collectively refer to multiple 

carriers. 
Joint Application of A vianca, TACA, 

T ACA Peru, LACS A and A viateca 

Page 5 

5. "A V" marketed flights covered by this Application and operated by the TACA 

Group also will be clearly identified in GDS displays. The initial display will consist of the 

"AV*" designator code and unique flight number. The identity of the operating carrier also will 

be disclosed in the "segment sell" portion of the display. An example of a GDS disclosure is set 

forth in Exhibit C. 

6. Itinerary displays on the Joint Applicants' U.S. consumer websites involving 

"A V" marketed flights covered by this Application and operated by the T ACA Group will 

clearly disclose the operating carrier for each segment using the unique flight numbers. An 

example of such an itinerary display is set forth in Exhibit D. 

7. Passengers booking "A V" marketed flights covered by this Application through 

the Joint Applicants' U.S. consumer websites will receive an e-ticket confirmation that discloses 

the operating carrier for each segment and unique flight numbers. An example of an e-ticket 

confirmation is set forth in Exhibit E. 

8. Boarding passes for "A V" marketed flights covered by this Application and 

operated by the T ACA Group will be printed with the unique flight numbers, as well as the 

identities of the operating carriers. An example of a boarding pass is set forth in Exhibit F. 

9. The Joint Carriers' telephone reservation agents will utilize a scripted disclosure 

to be read to customers prior to the point at which they make a reservation. As with all other 

disclosures, the script will direct reservations agents to include the identities of operating 

carriers. Examples of such telephone agent disclosures are set forth in Exhibit G. 
Joint Application of Avianca, TACA, 

T ACA Peru, LACS A and A viateca 

Page 6 

I 0. The Joint Applicants will not operate or market flights for which they do not hold 

underlying economic authority from the Department, nor will the Joint Applicants engage in 

prohibited cabotage air transportation. 

11. In all cases where a passenger is traveling under an A V -marketed ticket, A vianca 

will remain contractually bound under its contract of carriage. As previously demonstrated by 

the TACA Group, common branding neither violates nor presents any inconsistency with 

International Air Transport Association ("lATA") procedures or requirements. 6 

12. To the extent necessary, Aviateca and LACSA request registration of the 

"T ACA" trade name pursuant to Part 215. This request will avoid potential consumer confusion 

and permit A viateca and LACS A to hold out service under the A vianca brand. Without this 

registration, an Aviateca (for example) disclosure might read: 

"Operated by Aviateca S.A. for Avianca" 

However, as neither Aviateca nor LACSA maintain their own airport check-in counters 

or operate their own liveried aircraft, a consumer may be confused were the foregoing disclosure 

utilized. To address this potential confusion, Aviateca and LACSA seek to utilize TACA as a 

d/b/a so that a consumer is able to readily identify, among other things, the ticketing location at 

which he or she should check in and the d/b/a identity of the aircraft operator: 

"Operated by A viateca S.A. d/b/a T ACA for A vianca" 

6 See Joint Application ofT ACA International Airlines, S.A., Lineas Aereas Costaricenses, S.A., A VIA TECA S.A., 

Nicaraguense de Aviacion, S.A., TACA Honduras S.A. de C.V., and Trans American Airlines, S.A. (March 17, 

2004) at 8 and Exhibit H. 
Joint Application of A vianca, T ACA, 

T ACA Peru, LACS A and A viateca 

Page 7 

The Joint Applicants believe that this approach is consistent with the requirements of Section 

257.5(a) and (b), which require disclosure of the corporate name of the transporting carrier and 

any other name under which that service is held out to the public. 

The Joint Applicants will accept all conditions attached to Order 2006-11-10. 7 

III. Statements of Authorization 

1. The T ACA Group carriers hold statements of authorization permitting them to 

engage in reciprocal code-sharing services as well as wet lease services. 8 T ACA and LAC SA 

hold statements of authorization permitting them to display the A V code between named points 

in Central America and the U.S.9 Avianca holds a statement of authorization permitting it to 

display TACA Peru's TA* designator code between Colombia and Avianca's U.S. gateways. 10 

Pursuant to Part 212, the TACA Group now requests blanket statements of authorization to 

display the A V* designator code on flights operated by the TACA Group in U.S. markets in 

which both the operator and A vianca hold current Department authority to conduct scheduled 

foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail, further to the proposed common 

branding arrangement described herein. 

7 Condition 2(a) of Order 2006-11-10 required the TACA Group carriers to (among other things) "stop using other 

two-letter designator codes [i.e., other than TA]." The Joint Applicants request that any similar condition imposed 

by the Department permit a transition period wherein the Joint Applicants will continue to hold out some service 

under the T ACA trade name and designator code as it is gradually phased out of U.S. service. At present, the 

Joint Applicants expect such a transition to be completed during the first quarter of2013. 

s See Docket OST-2000-8342; Department Action on Application (Dec. I, 2000) (TACA, Aviateca, LACSA, 

Nicaraguense de Aviacion S.A., TACA de Honduras, and TACA Peru). 

9 See Docket OST-2011-0168; Notice of Action Taken (Nov. 18, 2011).

2. The United States has executed open skies agreements with each homeland 

government of the T ACA Group carriers. Article 8, Commercial Opportunities, of each 

agreement provides, as here relevant: 

In operating or holding out the authorized services on the agreed routes, any designated 

airline of one Party may enter into cooperative marketing arrangements such as blockedspace, code-sharing or leasing arrangements with 

i) an airline or airlines of either Party; and 

ii) an airline or airlines of a third country, provided that such third country authorizes 

or allows comparable arrangements between the airlines of the other Party and 

other airlines on services to, from and via such third country provided that all 

airlines in such arrangements 1) hold the appropriate authority and 2) meet the 

requirements normally applied to such arrangements. 

The U.S.- Colombia Agreement contains a nearly identical provision at Article 8, paragraph 7. 

See Section I, supra. 

3. To the extent necessary, the TACA Group also provides notice of its intent to 

provide open skies code-share services in accordance with the Department's Notice "In the 

Matter of Blanket Notification of Code-Share Service to Open-Skies Partners and Points," dated 

February 9, 2009. The TACA Group will provide at least 30 days notice before commencing 

new code-share services to non-open skies points. 

4. Avianca presently holds a foreign air carrier permit 11 and exemption authority 

consistent with certain transitional provisions (Annex, Section 1, paragraph 2(a) and (b)) of the 

U.S. - Colombia Agreement, 12 permitting it to engage in foreign scheduled air transportation of 

persons, property and mail from points behind Colombia via Colombia and intermediate points 

to Boston; Charlotte; Chicago; Cleveland; Ft. Lauderdale; Detroit; Houston; Los Angeles; 

11 Order 86-9-36. 

12 See Docket OST-2011-0211; Notice of Action Taken (March 19, 2012). 
Joint Application of A vianca, T ACA, 

T ACA Peru, LACS A and A viateca 

Page 9 

Miami; New York; San Juan; Orlando; and Washington, D.C., and beyond. Concurrent with this 

Application, A vianca is submitting an exemption application consistent with paragraph 2( d) of 

the U.S. - Colombia Agreement to engage in foreign scheduled air transportation of persons, 

property and mail from points behind Colombia via Colombia and intermediate points to points 

in the U.S. and beyond as the marketing (non-operating) carrier pursuant to its various 

codesharing agreements and to the proposed common branding arrangement described herein. 

Prior to the expiry, on December 31, 2012, of the U.S. -Colombia Agreement's transitional 

provisions, A vianca intends to file an application requesting the full complement of traffic rights 

available to it under the U.S.- Colombia Agreement. 

IV. Conclusion 

Grant of the exemption authority and statements of authorization requested herein is 

entirely consistent with Department precedent and is in the public interest. The Department has 

repeatedly renewed both the TACA Group's exemption authority13 and LAN's exemption 

authority to engage in commonly branded foreign air transportation. 14 Given these precedents, 

and the open skies air service agreements between each of the Joint Applicants' homelands and 

the U.S., the Joint Applicants respectfully request that the Department promptly grant the 

authority requested herein. 

13 See Order 2006-11-10; Notices of Action Taken (Jan. 4, 2008; Jan. 22, 2009). This authority remains in effect 

pursuant to a timely renewal application filed on Jan. 13, 2010 which invoked Part 377 of the Department's 

regulations and the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act.
