its initial Air Operator Certificate and Operating License in 201 0 , commencing operations 

with a single Bombardier Lear Jet 60 (7 seats) and with two Dassault Flacon 900 EX aircraft 

with a configuration of 12 and 15 seats respectively. Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG offers 

worldwide charter services utilizing these three aircraft and may expand its charter offers in 

the future to include additional aircraft. In order to meet the global travel requirements of its 

charter customers, Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG is eager to offer charter flights to and 

from the United States of America to the full extent permitted to air carriers from EU Member 

States under the EU- U. S. Open Skies Agreement.

D - 296 EG issued by the LBA on the 6th of March 2012 with Operations 

Specifications valid until the 31st of July 2016 authorizing Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & 

Co. KG to carry passengers, mail and freight on a worldwide basis. Heron

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

Application of Heron Luftfahrt GmbH 

Page 4 

Energy Information: In light of the on-demand nature of the proposed operations, 

the services proposed by Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG will not involve a near-term net 

annual change in aircraft fuel consumption exceeding 10 million US gallons, meaning 

approval of this application would not constitute a "major regulatory action" under the Energy 

Policy and Conservation Act as implemented by Title 14 C. F. R. Part 313. The Applicant 

does not anticipate encountering any difficulty in obtaining adequate supplies of fuel for its 

proposed ad hoc charter services from existing sources. 

Family Support Plan and Passenger Manifest Information: Because the aircraft 

operated by Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG meet the Department's definition of "large 

aircraft" the Applicant's proposed charter services are subject to the requirements of Title 14 

U.S.C. § 41313. In accordance with§ 4131 (b), Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG will submit a 

plan to address the needs of families of passengers involved in aircraft accidents to the 

Department and to the National Transportation Safety Board. Similarly, because of its large 

aircraft authority, Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG will be subject to Title 14 C. F. R. Part 243 

the Applicant will file a brief statement as required by Title 14 C.F.R. § 243.13, summarizing 

how it will collect the required passenger manifest information and transmit the information to 

the Department of State in the event of an aviation disaster. 

WHEREFORE, Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG respectfully requests that the 

Department promptly approve this application and issue a foreign air carrier permit pursuant 

to the U.S.- EU Reciprocal Recognition Procedures and the Streamlined Licensing 

Procedures, as prescribed herein and grant such further and additional relief as the public 

interest may require.

Application of Heron Luftfahrt GmbH & Co. KG 
U.S. Department of Transportation 

Office of the Secretary of Transportation AGREEMENT 

The undersigned carriers (hereinafter referred to as "the Carriers") hereby agree as follows: 

Docket OST 95-236 

1. Each of the Carriers shall, effective May 16, 1966, include the following in its conditions of carriage, including tariffs embodying 

conditions of carriage filed by it with any government: 

'The Carrier shall avail itself of the limitation of liability provided in the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules 

Relating to International Carriage by Air signed at Warsaw October 12th, 1929, or provided in the said Convention as amended by 

the Protocol signed at The Hague September 28th, 1955. However, in accordance with Article 22(1) of said Convention, or said 

Convention as amended by said Protocol, the Carrier agrees that, as to all international transportation by the Carrier as defined in 

the said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol, which, according to the contract of Carriage, includes a 

point in the United States of America as a point of origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place 

(1) The limit of liability for each passenger for death, wounding, or other bodily injury shall be the sum of US $75,000 

inclusive of legal fees and costs, except that, in case of a claim brought in a State where provision is made for separate 

award of legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of US $58,000 exclusive of legal fees and costs. 

(2) The Carrier shall not, with respect to any claim arising out of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger, 

avail itself of any defense under Article 20(1) of said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol. 

Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and liabilities of the Carrier with regard to any claim brought by, on behalf 

of, or in respect of any person who has willfully caused damage which resulted in death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a 

passenger." 

2. Each Carrier shall, at the time of delivery of the ticket, furnish to each passenger whose transportation is governed by the 

Convention, or the Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol, and by the special contract described in paragraph 1, the following 

notice, which shall be printed in type at least as large as 1 0 point modern type and in ink contrasting with the stock on (i) each ticket; (ii) 

a piece of paper either placed in the ticket envelope with the ticket or attached to the ticket; or (iii) on the ticket envelope: 

"ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised 

that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion 

entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in 

the United States of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the 

liability of 

[certain ]* 

[(name of carrier) and certain other] carriers parties to such special contracts for death of or personal injury to passengers is 

limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed US $75,000 per passenger, and that this liability up to such limit shall not 

depend on negligence on the part of the carrier. For such passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or 

on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or 

personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately US $10,000 or US $20,000. 

The names of Carriers parties to such special contracts are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be 

examined on request. 

Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not 

affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further 

information please consult your airline or insurance company representative." 

3. [This Agreement was filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board of the United States. The Board approved it by Order E-23680, 

adopted May 13, 1966. The Agreement (Agreement 18900) became effective May 16, 1966. On January 1, 1985, this Agreement 

became the responsibility of the Department of Transportation (DOT) by operation of law.] 

4. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one Agreement. Any Carrier may 

become a party to this Agreement by signing a counterpart hereof and depositing it with DOT. 

*Either alternative may be used.
