BEFORE THE UNITED STATES

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D.C.

Application of:

Centaero Aviation Limited For exemption for one year Docket : OST

- 2001

- 10707

- 1 5

Under 49 U.S.C section 40109

APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

FILLED BY: Centaero Aviatio n Limited

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and the Department’s regulations, Centaero Aviation Ltd. Herby applies for renewal of its exemption

from 49 U.S.C. 40109 which authorizes Centaero Aviation Ltd. to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and their accompanying baggage with small aircraft between the United States and Canada and, subject to prior Department approval, between other countries and the United States. Centaero Aviation Ltd. also requests stopover privileges and renewal of its relief from the requirement to obtain advance approval for each Canada

– U.S. flight. The Department granted the above authority to Centaero Aviation by

notice of Action taken dated October 5 th , 2001 . Centaero Aviation Ltd. requests that this auth ority, which is scheduled to expire on September 2 8, 20 11 , be renewed for a period of at least two year s

.

Centaero Aviation Ltd. invokes the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c), as implemented by 14 C.F .R. Part 377, to maintain its exemption authority in effect pending a final Department determination on this renewal application.

In support of this application, Centaero Aviation Ltd. states as

follows:- 2

-

1. Centaero Aviation Ltd. continues to be fit , willing and able to provide the small aircraft passenger charter services for which it requests renewal authority. The relevant circumstances under which Centaero Aviation Ltd. received its initial grant of exemption authority are unchanged.

2. Centaero A viation Ltd. Third and Fourth Freedom charter authority is authorized by Annex II to the U.S.

– Canada Transport Agreement, and is therefore presumptively in the public interest. Centaero Aviation Ltd. Fifth Freedom charter authority is based on principl es of comity and reciprocity, as is its relief from the advance approval requirement for transborder charter flights and any grant of stopover privileges. Centaero

Aviation Ltd. Submits that continuation of these extra

- bilateral

authorizations is warrant ed given the harmonious state of

aviation relations between the United States and Canada. In addition, the services provided by Centaero Aviation Ltd. satisfy a continuing need and otherwise serve the public interest by fostering commerce between Canada a nd the United States consistent with the objectives of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Consequently, renewal of all elements of Centaero Aviation Ltd authority would be consistent with the public interest.

3. Centaero Aviation Ltd. renewal application is limited in scope

and non

- controversial. The services Centaero Aviation Ltd. proposes to operate are substantially identical to those it performed in the past year, i.e. highly personalized transport

services to executives and their invitees using small business

type aircraft. Centaero Aviation Ltd. Authority to engage in transborder passenger charter services remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authority pursuant to its FAA Part 129 Operations Specifications.- 3

-

Wherefore Centaero Aviation Ltd. respectfully request renewal of its authority to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and their accompanying baggage with small aircraft as set forth, and such other relief as may be in the publi c interest.

Respectfully submitted,

Centaero Aviation Ltd.
