APPLICATION OF

JETSTAR AIRWAYS PTY. LIMITED

FOR STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION AND EXEMPTION

Jetstar Airways Pty. Limited hereby applies for a statement of

authorization pursuant to Part 212 of the Department’s Regulations, 14 C.F.R.

§ 212, and, to the extent necessary, an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 in

order to display the AA code of American Airlines on intra-New Zealand flights

operated by Jetstar. Jetstar and American have executed a Codeshare

Agreement that provides for the codeshare service in question, and the two

carriers will implement the codeshare service promptly upon issuance of the

authority requested in this Application.1/

Jetstar and American plan to introduce American codeshare service on

Jetstar flights on the following city-pairs for passengers connecting with
APPLICATION OF JETSTAR AIRWAYS PAGE 2

FOR STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION AND EXEMPTION

American’s codeshare service on Qantas Airways between the United States

and New Zealand:

Auckland (AKL) - Christchurch (CHC)

Auckland (AKL) - Wellington (WLG)

Auckland (AKL) - Queenstown (ZQN)

Christchurch (CHC) - Wellington (WLG)

Christchurch (CHC) - Queenstown (ZQN)

Jetstar also seeks authority to display the AA code on other Jetstar flights

within New Zealand subject to any advance notice requirements that the

Department may impose. Jetstar is requesting immediate approval of this

Application in order to implement the codeshare service as soon as possible.

Jetstar will poll the parties on the Service List and advise the Department of the

positions of those parties with respect to this Application.

Jetstar is a licensed Australian air carrier based in Melbourne, Australia,

and holds authority from the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand to operate

domestic service within New Zealand. Jetstar is a wholly-owned subsidiary of

the Qantas Group.

With respect to the underlying economic authority to operate the intraNew Zealand codeshare service in question, American holds authority to

operate scheduled service between any point in the U.S. and any point in New

Zealand pursuant to its Certificate for Route 835 issued on April 3, 2007, by

DOT Order 2007-4-2 (Dockets DOT-OST-2000-8516 and DOT-OST-2005-

22228). Jetstar holds a foreign air carrier permit to operate specified scheduled

and charter service (DOT Order 2010-8-2, August 2, 2010, Docket

DOT-OST-2006-34923), and Jetstar hereby requests exemption authority to the

extent necessary to operate the codeshare service in question.

American completed its codeshare safety audit of Jetstar on December

14, 2009, and has submitted a certification of compliance to FAA AFS-50. The

International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) Program of the FAA has rated

the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand as Category 1.

Grant of the authority requested in this Application is in the public

interest. The authority requested will enable American Airlines to provide

comprehensive routing options to U.S.-originating passengers that will include

service to Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, and Queenstown, New Zealand,

as well as allow expansion of the codesharing arrangement to other points in

New Zealand (subject to DOT notice requirements). The United States has

liberal Open Skies Agreements with both Australia and New Zealand, and grant

of the authority requested is consistent with those Agreements.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, the Department of Transportation should grant

Jetstar Airways Pty. Limited a statement of authorization and, to the extent

necessary, an exemption to permit Jetstar to display the code of American

Airlines on Jetstar flights within New Zealand. Jetstar also requests a waiver of

the 45-day advance filing requirement of 14 C.F.R. § 212.10(d) because the

codesharing arrangement between Jetstar and American has only been finalized

recently and because of the need to implement the codeshare service in the

immediate future.
