Application of

AIR TRANSPORT INTERNATIONAL 

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY 

for a disclaimer of jurisdiction and reissuance of 

certificates of public convenience and necessity

 Docket DOT-OST-2012-0133

ORDER REISSUING CERTIFICATES

On August 7, 2012, Air Transport International Limited Liability Company (“ATI”) filed an 

application in Docket DOT-OST-2012-0133 requesting that the Department disclaim jurisdiction 

over the transfer of its operating authorities to a newly formed corporation based in Delaware,

Air Transport International, Inc., and that the Department reissue its certificates in the new name 

of the company. ATI operates under four separate certificates of public convenience and 

necessity: (1) an interstate schedule certificate;1(2) an interstate charter certificate; (3) a foreign 

charter certificate; and (4) a blanket open-skies all-cargo certificate.2

On August 31, 2012, the Department orally approved the air carrier’s request for a disclaimer of 

jurisdiction and subsequently issued an order confirming our oral action and reissuing the air 

carrier’s interstate scheduled certificate authority and its blanket open-skies all cargo certificate

authority in its new corporate name.

3

 We did not reissue ATI’s interstate or foreign charter 

certificates because we found the authority granted by these certificates was duplicative of 

authority contained in ATI’s interstate scheduled certificate authority since its interstate 

scheduled certificate authority also confers worldwide charter authority.

On February 8, 2013, ATI requested that the Department also reissue its interstate and foreign 

charter certificate authority in the new name of the company. ATI does not dispute the 

redundancy of the authority contained in its interstate and foreign charter certificates, although it 

contends the separate certificates provides it with certain administrative conveniences when 

providing air transportation in foreign countries. 

 

1 ATI’s authority to conduct scheduled passenger flight operations is not yet effective. 

2 By Order 94-10-6, ATI also was previously issued certificate authority to provide all-cargo foreign air 

transportation between the U.S. and Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, 

Ireland (Shannon), Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. 

See Order 94-10-6. However, this authority has since been superseded by its blanket-open skies certificate.

See Order 2013-2-1, issued February 1, 2013.
