REPLY OF AVIATION SERVICES, LTD. (d/b/a FREEDOM AIR (Guam)) 

 By letter of February 14, 2011, the Air Line Pilots Association (“ALPA”) sought 

to bring certain facts to the attention of the Department of Transportation that ALPA 

thought relevant to the applications of Aviation Services, Ltd. (d/b/a/ Freedom Air 

(Guam)) (“Freedom Air”) in the above-captioned matter. A substantially similar filing 

was made by Cape Air on March 7, 2011. 

 As further explained and established by the attached Affidavit of fact, the 

operations that were the subject of the foregoing filings were unrelated to Freedom Air 

and therefore unrelated and irrelevant to the pending applications that are the subject of 

this docket. While Freedom Air would intend to employ the d/b/a “Fly Guam” when 

authorized, that d/b/a is not owned by nor exclusive to Freedom Air and can, and will, be 

employed in other contexts in compliance with applicable law. 

 Freedom Air trusts that the Department will not permit further delay as a result of 

these filings, and will issue its Order to Show Cause promptly (whereupon interested 
2 

parties may bring such other information to the Department’s attention as they deem 

appropriate). 

 

 Respectfully submitted,
