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 re newal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301,
which authorizes it to engage in charter forei gn air transportation (1) be tween any point or points
in Canada and any point or points in the United St ates 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 se rvice constitutes part of a continuous operat ion, with or without
a change of aircraft, that includes service to Canada for the purpose of carrying local traffic

between Canada and the United St ates, and (3) other charters pu rsuant to Part 212 of the
Department’s regulations using aircraft having a maximum passenger capaci ty of not more than
60 seats and a maximum payload capacity of not more than 18,000 pounds.

The authority for which renewal is request ed 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 au thority to Chartright, it determined that
Chartright was operationally a nd financially qualified and pr operly licensed to conduct the
services for which authority was requested and th at grant of the request ed 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 re quests that the Department grant this
application for renewal of its exemption authority to enable Chartright to engage in charter
foreign air transportation (1) be tween any point or points in Cana da and any point or points in
the United States and (2) between any point or poi nts in the United States and any point or points
in a third country or countries, provided that, ex cept with respect to car go charters, such service
constitutes part of a co ntinuous 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 reque sts that its authority be issued for no less
than a two-year term.

Respectfully submitted,

Don H. Hainbach

Counsel for Chartright Air Inc.
