TRANS AMERICAN AIRLINES, S.A. d/b/a TACA PERU 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Trans American Airlines, S.A. d/b/a TACA Peru, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and 

Subpart C of the Department's Rules of Practice, hereby applies for renewal of its exemption 

authority to the extent necessary to authorize T ACA Peru to continue to engage in foreign 

scheduled and charter air transportation of persons, property and mail as more fully described 

herein. TACA Peru requests that the Department renew this authority for a period of not less 

than two years. 

In support ofthis application, TACA Peru states as follows: 

1. TACA Peru holds exemption authority, issued by the Department on May 19, 

2011, authorizing it to (1) engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and 

mail from points behind Peru, via Peru and intermediate points, to a point or points in the United 

States and beyond; (2) engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of property and mail

between the United States and any point or points; and (3) conduct charters pursuant to Part 212 

of the Department's Regulations. This authority expires by its own terms on May 19, 2013. 

2. TACA Peru's services remain consistent with the liberal terms ofthe U.S.- Peru 

Open Skies Agreement. The public interest will be served by the renewal of this authority to 

TACA Peru, so that it may continue to offer additional air service options to U.S. consumers. 

3. TACA Peru is authorized by its homeland to operate these services and continues 

to hold the necessary operating authorizations. 

4. Grant ofthe authority sought by TACA Peru will not constitute a major 

regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 197 5, as defined in Part 313 

of the Department's Regulations. 

5. By submitting this timely renewal application, TACA Peru 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. 

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Trans American Airlines, S.A. d/b/a TACA 

Peru respectfully requests that the Department grant the renewed amended exemption authority 

as described more fully herein. T ACA Peru also requests such further, different and additional 

relief as the Department may deem to be appropriate.
