Application of 

SURINAAMSE LUCHTVAART MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 

(SURINAM AIRWAYS) 

for amendment and renewal of an exemption 

under §40109 

DATED: MARCH 17, 2015 

Docket 46080 

OST-1996-1095 

APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL AND AMENDMENT OF EXEMPTION 

Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. (Surinam Airways, 

Ltd.) submits this application (i) for renewal of exemptions issued 

under §40109 of the Federal transportation law; (ii) for an 

amendment of its exemption authority; and (iii), pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. §558(b) and Part 377 of the Department's Regulations, 

automatic extension of all exemption authority which has been 

granted by Order 91-7-33 and notice of action taken dated March 9, 

1995 (Docket 46080/0ST-1996-1095) . In support of this application, 

Surinam Airways states as follows: 

I. INTRODUCTION 

1. By Orders 88-6-23, 90-6-19, 90-12-50, and 91-7-33, and 

Notices of Action Taken dated February 18, 1992, March 19, 1992, 

March 9, 1993, and March 9, 1995, in Docket 46080 (OST 1996-1095), 
Surinam Airways has been granted exemption authority to operate 

scheduled service between points in Suriname and the co-terminal 

points New York/Newark and Miami, Florida, via one or more of the 

following intermediate points: Georgetown, Guyana; Port-of-Spain, 

Trinidad and Tobago; Curacao, Netherlands Antilles; Aruba; 

Barbados; and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. 

2. Surinam Airways seeks to (a) renew its exemption 

authority issued on March 9, 1995, and (b) amend its current 

exemption authority to include service between points in Suriname, 

on the one hand, and Orlando and/or Sanford, Florida, on the other, 

via one or more of the following intermediate points: Georgetown, 

Guyana; Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago; Curacao, Netherlands 

Antilles; Aruba; Barbados; and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. At this 

moment, the service to Orlando will serve Georgetown, Guyana, as 

the intermediate point. 

3. Surinam Airways desires to commence operations on or about 

July 1, 2015, during the months of July, August, and September. 

Initially, the service will be one roundtrip per week. If the 

service is financially viable, Surinam Airways would continue the 

service and increase frequencies, serve Sanford and/or Orlando, 

and/or serve other intermediate points. 

4. Surinam Airways desires to renew its scheduled 

service exemption authority as well as the authority to operate 

charters under the provisions of Part 212 (Notice of Action taken 

March 9, 1995, in Docket OST-1996-1095). 

2 
5. Surinam Airways is qualified to operate the services 

proposed. It is 100 percent owned and controlled by the Government 

of Suriname. The carrier has been operating scheduled and charter 

services between Suriname and other points, on the one hand, and 

the United States, on the other, for many years. It also operates 

an A340-300 between Suriname and Europe. It operates three 8737-

300 aircraft which are on lease; these 8737 aircraft are used in 

its Western Hemisphere services. The B737 are configured with 8-16 

Business class seats and 100-118 economy class seats. The United 

States and the Government of Suriname have entered into an open 

skies air transport agreement. That agreement is dated July 8, 

2013. It removes all route barriers for services operated by 

carriers from the country of Suriname to and from the United States 

via any intermediate points selected by the Surinam Airways. The 

carrier has had no accidents in the last ten years. 

6. Surinam Airways holds the necessary license authority 

from its government to operate these services. Most recently, its 

license was issued by the Ministry of Transport (copy attached) on 

February 10, 2012, and is valid until March 23, 2017. The 

government of Suriname is the sole shareholder, so further renewals 

are likely. A copy of the first page of Surinam's FAA Part 129 

Operations Specifications is attached hereto. 

7. The carrier's home address is 136 J. Lachmonstraat, 

Paramaribo, Suriname. The air transport regulatory authority is: 

Ministry of Transportation, Communication and Tourism; Prins 

3 
Hendrik Straat 26-28, Paramaribo, Suriname. Mrs. Thelma Douglas is 

the official there responsible for Surinam Airways' authority. 

II. RENEWAL OF EXISTING AUTHORITY 

8. Pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. §558) and Part 377 of the Department's 

Regulations, Surinam Airways invokes and relies upon the automatic 

renewal provisions with respect to the scheduled service and 

charter authority granted in Notice of Action Taken dated March 09, 

1995, in Docket 46080 (OST-1996-1095). An application to renew 

that authority was filed on February 22, 1996; no action has been 

taken on that application by the Department. Surinam Airways' 

renewed authority should remain in effect until final action is 

taken in Docket 41580 (its §41301 application was amended in 1993). 

9. The renewal of Surinam Airways' exemption authority 

will not increase Surinam Airways' fuel consumption by more than 10 

million gallons annually. Surinam Airways does not anticipate any 

difficulty in obtaining jet fuel for its operations. 

WHEREFORE, Surinam Airways, Ltd. prays that all of its 

currently existing exemption authority (including Part 212 charter 

authority) in Docket 46080 (OST-1996-1095) be renewed for at least 

two years; that Orlando and Sanford, Florida, be added to the 

current co-terminals New York/Newark and Miami; that all exemption 

authority (including Part 212 charter authority) previously 

authorized in Docket OST-1996-1095 be continued in force as a 

4 
matter of law until final action on its §41301 permit application; 

and for further relief which is just and proper. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Is/ Herbert A. Rosenthal
