APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

Linea Aerea Carguera de Colombia S.A. d/b/a LANCO (“LANCO”) hereby requests

renewal of the exemption authority granted to it in the captioned docket permitting it to engage

in (i) scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail between any point or points in

Colombia, on the one hand, and Miami, Florida, Los Angeles, California, and Houston, Texas,

on the other hand, via intermediate points; and (ii) all-cargo charter operations pursuant to 14

C.F.R. 212. LANCO’s exemption authority will expire April 12, 2015. LANCO requests

renewal of its exemption for a two-year period on its existing terms and conditions. LANCO

relies upon the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act and Part 377 of the Department

of Transportation’s (“Department”) procedural regulations to continue its existing authorization

in force pending a final decision on this renewal request.
336363/1/WASHINGTON

As indicated below, all of the factors that originally led the Department to grant this

exemption to LANCO continue in existence. In further support of this renewal application,

LANCO states as follows:

1. LANCO holds exemption authority to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation

of property and mail from any point in Colombia to Miami/Los Angeles/Houston via

intermediate points, and to perform cargo charters in accordance with the Department’s

regulations. Under this authority, LANCO operates numerous scheduled and charter flights

between Colombia and the United States.

2. LANCO’s operations are authorized and regulated by the Government of Colombia.

Colombia is a contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (“Chicago

Convention”) and observes all applicable ICAO standards. LANCO’s aircraft comply with all

Federal Aviation Administration standards prescribed under 14 C.F.R. 129. All maintenance on

LANCO’s aircraft is and will continue to be performed in compliance with the provisions of

ICAO Pilots and Airmen Annexes 1, 6, (Part 1) and 7.

3. The authority for which renewal is requested is consistent with and encompassed by

the United Sates-Colombia Air Transport Agreement signed on October 24, 1956, as amended

by the November 2010 open skies agreement. LANCO continues to be designated and

authorized by the Government of Colombia to provide this service.

4. This application raises no environmental or energy issues. All flights will continue to

be operated in accordance with all applicable noise abatement requirements utilizing modern,

fuel-efficient Stage 3 aircraft. Approval of this application will not result in a near-term increase

in fuel consumption of ten million gallons or more.
336363/1/WASHINGTON

WHEREFORE, Linea Aerea Carguera de Colombia S.A. d/b/a LANCO respectfully

requests that the exemption granted to it in the above-captioned docket be renewed for an

additional two-year period on its existing terms and conditions.

Respectfully submitted,
