BEFORE THE 

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

Application of 

CHARTRIGHT AIR INC. 

for an exemption pursuant to 

49 U.S.C. § 40109 (U.S.-Canada) 

Docket OST-01-11063 

APPLICATION OF CHARTRIGHT AIR INC. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITY 

 Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and Part 302 of the Department’s regulations, Chartright 

Air Inc. (“Chartright”), hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301, 

which authorizes it to engage in charter foreign air transportation (1) between any point or points 

in Canada and any point or points in the United States and (2) between any point or points in the 

United States and any point or points in a third country or countries, provided that, except with 

respect to cargo charters, such service constitutes part of a continuous operation, with or without 

a change of aircraft, that includes service to Canada for the purpose of carrying local traffic 

between Canada and the United States, and (3) other charters pursuant to Part 212 of the 

Department’s regulations using aircraft having a maximum passenger capacity of not more than 

60 seats and a maximum payload capacity of not more than 18,000 pounds. 

 The authority for which renewal is requested was initially granted on October 29, 2007, 

and is now scheduled to terminate on November 6, 2011. Chartright requests that its authority be 

renewed for an additional two-year period.1

 

1

 By filing this application Chartright is relying upon the automatic extension provision of the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as implemented by 14 CFR Part 377, to continue its current authority in effect 

pending Department action. 
2

When the Department first granted exemption authority to Chartright, it determined that 

Chartright was operationally and financially qualified and properly licensed to conduct the 

services for which authority was requested and that grant of the requested authority would be 

consistent with the public interest. The services for which renewal is requested are consistent 

with the U.S.-Canada Open Skies Agreement and grant of this renewal authority would continue 

to be consistent with the public interest. 

ACCORDINGLY, Chartright respectfully requests that the Department grant this 

application for renewal of its exemption authority to enable Chartright to engage in charter 

foreign air transportation (1) between any point or points in Canada and any point or points in 

the United States and (2) between any point or points in the United States and any point or points 

in a third country or countries, provided that, except with respect to cargo charters, such service 

constitutes part of a continuous operation, with or without a change of aircraft, that includes 

service to Canada for the purpose of carrying local traffic between Canada and the United States, 

and (3) other charters pursuant to Part 212 of the Department’s regulations using aircraft having 

a maximum passenger capacity of not more than 60 seats and a maximum payload capacity of 

not more than 18,000 pounds. Chartright further requests that its authority be issued for no less 

than a two-year term. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

 Don H. Hainbach 

Counsel for Chartright Air Inc. 

October 20, 2011
