Docket No. OST-2005-22238 

APPLICATION OF TAMPA CARGO S.A. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Tampa Cargo, S.A. ("Tampa") hereby applies for renewal of an exemption, previously 

granted by the Department on October 28, 2010, authorizing Tampa to engage in foreign air 

transportation of property and mail between a point or points in Colombia, on the one hand, and 

Miami, Florida, on the other hand, via a point or points in Brazil. Tampa requests renewal of this 

exemption authority for a period of at least one year. 

In support of its application, Tampa states as follows: 

1. Tampa seeks renewal of its exemption authority to engage in foreign air transportation of 

property and mail between a point or points in Colombia, on the one hand, and Miami, Florida, 

on the other hand, via a point or points in Brazil, and to combine this service with other services 

for which Tampa holds Department authority. This authority was last issued by Notice of Action 

Taken on October 28,2010, and expires on October 28,2011. 

2. Tampa is a Colombian all-cargo airline which holds a foreign air carrier permit 

authorizing it to engage in scheduled cargo air transportation between Medellin and Bogota, on 
the one hand, and Miami, on the other. See Order 81-4-94. Tampa also holds a variety of 

exemption authorities authorizing it to provide foreign air transportation of property and mail 

between the U.S. and points in Latin America. 

3. Tampa has been serving the Brazilian markets for several years and has strong 

commercial and economic ties with local shippers. This authority for which renewal is sought is 

necessary to effectively serve shippers in these markets and as it complements Tampa's existing 

all-cargo service to the United States 

4. Tampa remains fit, willing, and able to perform the air transportation services for which 

authority is sought herein. Tampa continues to hold homeland authority authorizing these 

services. The public interest will be served by the prompt approval of this application so that 

Tampa may continue to provide additional shipping options and needed competition on these 

routes. 

5. By submitting this timely renewal application, Tampa invokes the automatic renewal 

extension provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 558 (c), as implemented by Part 377 of the Department's 

Regulations, to continue in effect its current exemption authorization for the service specified in 

this application, pending a final determination of this renewal application. 

6. Grant of this authority will not constitute a "major regulatory action" under the Energy 

and Conservation Act of 1975, as defined in section 313.4(a)(l) ofthe Department's regulations. 

7. Tampa respectfully requests that the authority requested herein be granted for a period of 

at least one year. 

2 
WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Tampa Cargo S.A. respectfully requests that the 

Department grant its request for renewal of Tampa's exemption in the manner described more 

fully herein.
