PASSENGER MANIFEST INFORMATION COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

Comlux Aruba N.V. (“Comlux Aruba”) hereby submits the following summary of how it plans

to (a) collect passenger manifest information from U.S. citizen passengers traveling on covered

flight segments to and from the United States, and (b) transmit that information to the

U.S. Department of State in the event of an aviation disaster:

1. Prior to boarding U.S. citizen passengers on any international flight segment to or from the

United States, Comlux Aruba will require them to provide their full name (given name,

middle name or initial, and surname), and will solicit from them the name and telephone

number of an emergency contact (other than another passenger on the same flight), using the

attached form.

2. Prior to a covered flight segment’s departure from or to the United States, the crew members

will ensure that the complete U.S. passenger manifest information has been transmitted to

and received by operations personnel within the Fly Comlux OCC in Bahrain.

3. In the event of an “aviation disaster” with respect to a “covered flight segment” (as these

terms are defined in 14 C.F.R. § 243.3), the Fly Comlux OCC will promptly notify the

Managing Director of Overseas Citizen Services, Bureau of Consular Affairs,

U.S. Department of State, of such occurrence (via the Department of State Operations

Center, +1 202 647 1512). In the event any U.S. citizen passengers were on board the

covered flight segment, the Fly Comlux OCC will thereafter (but not later than three (3)

hours after it first learned of the aviation disaster) transmit complete U.S. passenger manifest

information to the Managing Director of Overseas Citizen Services. Such information will

also be provided, upon request, to the Director, Family Support Services, National

Transportation Safety Board.

4. The Fly Comlux OCC will retain a record of the required passenger manifest information

until all U.S. citizen passengers on a covered flight segment have disembarked from the

aircraft.

5. The Fly Comlux OCC has representatives on duty 24-hours a day who will be accessible at

any time Comlux Aruba is operating a covered flight segment. The 24-hour contact

information will be provided to the appropriate Department of Transportation officials under

separate cover.
