HEARING DOCKET 

FAA Docket No. FAA 2015-3320 

Jndge J. E. Sullivan 

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 13.213(b), United Parcel Service Co. (a Delaware Corporation) 

("UPS Airlines") and United Parcel Service, Inc., an Ohio Corporation ("UPS Ground" 1

) and, by 

and through their undersigned counsel hereby timely file this motion requesting an extension of 

time to respond by answer or motion to the Complaint filed by the FAA on March 9, 2016. In 

support of the motion, UPS Airlines and UPS Ground state that additional time to respond is 

needed for several reasons. First, this action, FAA Docket No. 2015-3320, is related in 

numerous substantial and material ways to cases pending under FAA Docket No. 2016-4262 and 

1 This Complaint's caption identifies only UPS Airlines as the Respondent. UPS Airlines is an FAA-certificated air 

carrier. The a11egations in the Complaint, however, are directed to UPS Ground, which is a separate company from 

UPS Airlines. UPS Ground :s an Ohio corporation and is not an FAA-certificated air carrier, but is instead a ground 

transportation and logistics company. UPS Airlines' and UPS Ground's joint motion for extension of time to 

respond to the FAA's Complaint does not \Vaive, and the parties hereby expressly reserve, their rights to seek 

dismissal of the FAA's Complaint for failure to state a claim against UPS Airlines and/or UPS Ground. 
FAA Docket No. 2016-4261. UPS Airlines and UPS Ground have contemporaneously filed 

herewith a motion to consolidate each of these three actions so that the common issues presented 

in them can be resolved in a consistent and efficient manner. Second, the filing of a consolidated 

response may require additional preparation time, but should decrease the time to resolve the 

cases individually. Third, even if UPS Airlines and UPS Grmmd are required to respond to each 

case individually, additional time is needed to fully address the issues presented in this matter. 

Counsel for UPS Ground contacted Mr. Gerald Ellis, FAA Southern Region Managing 

Attorney, who stated that the agency does not oppose the requested extension of time in this and 

the other two cases. 

Wherefore, UPS Airlines and UPS Ground respectfully request that they be granted an 

extension of time to a date that is 20 days following the date upon which the motions to 

consolidate are either granted or denied.
