effective March 9, 2009 and, on March 9, 2010, granted Baltia 

an extension until September 9, 2010 to make its authority 

effective and commence flight operations. If Baltia were not 

able to commence operations by that date, the Department 

granted Bal tia the opportunity to request a waiver of the 

requirements of Section 204.7.

granted routinely, but only where "good cause" is shown, i.e. 

fitness and near completion of all steps to commence 

operations.

reference all the documents submitted in DOT-OST-20910-0145 

which evidence Baltia's current fitness. Pursuant to the 

current effective FAA Schedule of Events, Baltia is scheduled 

to complete FAA certification on December 20, 2010. As the 

FAA Air Carrier Certification is the last step prior to 

commencing operations, Baltia plans to initiate its service 

the following week.

seeks a six-month waiver.

CONCLUSION: 

To complete the FAA Certification process and commence 

service, Baltia requests a six-month waiver of dormancy 

provisions of Section 204.7.
