BEFORE THE

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Application of

JETSTAR AIRWAYS PTY. LIMITED

for a Statement of Authorization

under 14 C.F.R. § 212 and

for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301

(Codesharing with American Airlines)

Docket No. DOT-OST-2010-0265

APPLICATION OF

JETSTAR AIRWAYS PTY. LIMITED

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109, Jetstar Airways Pty. Limited applies for

renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 for the economic authority that

Jetstar requires in order to display the AA* designator code of American Airlines

on intra-New Zealand flights operated by Jetstar.1

The Department initially granted this exemption in 2010, along with the

Statement of Authorization that allows Jetstar to display the AA* designator code

of American Airlines on Jetstar’s flights within New Zealand.2Jetstar’s intra-New

Zealand flights transport traffic from AA* codeshare routings between the United

States and New Zealand. By Notice of Action Taken in this docket on July 31,

2012, the Department renewed Jetstar’s exemption through July 31, 2014, and

also amended the Statement of Authorization to expand the scope of Jetstar’s

1

Jetstar's current exemption is effective through July 31, 2014. Jetstar invokes the

automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as

implemented by 14 CFR Part 377, to maintain its exemption authority in effect pending DOT

action on this Application for Renewal.

authority to codeshare with American on routes in addition to the intra-New

Zealand routes that were the basis for the initial Statement of Authorization.3

The Statement of Authorization has indefinite effectiveness subject to the

standard conditions for such codesharing authority.

In exercise of the authority granted by the Exemption and Statement of

Authorization, Jetstar currently provides codeshare service for American Airlines

between Auckland and Christchurch, but may in the future codeshare with

American on other routes, consistent with its Statement of Authorization that, in

relevant part, allows Jetstar to display the AA* code on any of Jetstar’s domestic

routes in New Zealand. Jetstar seeks renewal of its exemption authority in order

to continue its ability to codeshare with American on Jetstar’s routes within New

Zealand.

American holds all authority necessary to operate to Australia and to New

Zealand under its open skies certificate for Route 835, issued by Order 2007-4-2,

April 3, 2007.

Grant of the authority requested in this Application is in the public interest.

Renewal of this exemption will enable American Airlines to continue to provide to

U.S.-originating passengers the option of AA* codeshare service to Christchurch

via American’s codesharing arrangement on Jetstar’s Auckland - Christchurch

service.

The Department amended Jetstar’s Statement of Authorization to “to permit [Jetstar] to

display the AA* code in conjunction with foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail

on Jetstar operated flights between points behind Australia, points in Australia, and intermediate

points, to points in the United States and beyond, in addition to Jetstar-operated flights within

New Zealand.” Notice of Action Taken, Docket DOT-OST-2010-0265, July 31, 2012.

Jetstar currently displays the AA* code on one or more of Jetstar’s trans-Tasman flights

pursuant to the amended Statement of Authorization. Jetstar holds the underlying economic

authority for this service by means of its foreign air carrier permit issued by DOT Order 2010-8-2,

effective July 26, 2010, Docket DOT-OST-DOT-OST-2006-24922.
APPLICATION OF JETSTAR AIRWAYS PAGE 3

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

Jetstar underwent an IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) during the

period of October 21-25, 2013. Based on the resulting IOSA Audit Report,

American submitted a Compliance Statement to the FAA on February 4, 2014, in

which American stated that it had reviewed the Audit Report and that “that all

areas of JetStar Airways Pty Limited (JST) operations meet the applicable ICAO

standards for U. S. codeshare service.”

The United States has liberal aviation relations with both Australia and

New Zealand, and renewal of this exemption is consistent with the Air Transport

Agreements that govern aviation relations between the United States and

Australia and between the United States and New Zealand.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, Jetstar Airways Pty. Limited requests the

Department of Transportation to renew the exemption held by Jetstar to display

the airline designator code of American Airlines on intra-New Zealand flights

operated by Jetstar.

Respectfully submitted,
