WASHINGTON, D.C.

Application of AEROVÍAS DE INTEGRACIÓN REGIONAL, AIRES S.A. d/b/a LAN COLOMBIA for renewal of an exemption pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 (United States-Colombia) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Docket DOT-OST-2008-0390 January 22, 2015

APPLICATION OF AEROVÍAS DE INTEGRACIÓN REGIONAL, AIRES S.A. d/b/a LAN COLOMBIA FOR RENEWAL OF AN EXEMPTION
Aerovías de Integración Regional, AIRES S.A. d/b/a LAN Colombia (“LAN Colombia”) hereby applies under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and Subpart C of the Department’s Rules of Practice (14 C.F.R § 302.301, et seq.) for renewal of its exemption authority to engage in scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail from points behind Colombia via Colombia and intermediate points to any point or points in the United States and beyond. LAN Colombia requests that this exemption authority be renewed for a period of at least two years. In support of this Application for renewal of U.S.–Colombia exemption authority, LAN Colombia states as follows: 1. By Notice of Action Taken, dated January 25, 2013, in this Docket, the Department granted LAN Colombia the broad “open skies” U.S.-Colombia exemption authority described above. 1

1 LAN Colombia also currently holds a foreign air carrier permit issued by DOT Order 2009-6-14, served June 17, 2009, authorizing it to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Bogota, Cartagena, and Barranquilla, Colombia, on the one hand, and New York (JFK), New York, on the other hand, and to engage in charter trips in foreign air transportation subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of the Department’s regulations governing charters.Application of LAN Colombia for Renewal of an Exemption Page 2

\\DC - 040660/000001 - 6385533 v2 2. LAN Colombia now seeks to renew that broad exemption authority. Renewal of this exemption authority will enable LAN Colombia to maintain and enhance its codeshare services and/or to continue and introduce a variety of other scheduled and charter services on Colombia-U.S. routes should it so desire, thereby maximizing the liberalized opportunities available to Colombian air carriers under the U.S.-Colombia Open Skies Agreement. 3. LAN Colombia continues to be fit, willing, and able to provide air transportation under this exemption authority. 4. This renewal Application is entirely consistent with the U.S.-Colombia Open Skies Agreement. 5. The exemption authority at issue is set to expire on January 25, 2015, and this renewal application from a foreign air carrier is therefore timely filed. Accordingly, LAN Colombia hereby invokes, and intends to rely on, the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as implemented by 14 C.F.R. Part 377, to continue its exemption authority in effect pending final Department action on this Application for renewal. 6. LAN Colombia requests that this exemption authority be renewed for a period of at least two additional years, consistent with Department practice in similar cases.

WHEREFORE, Aerovías de Integración Regional, AIRES S.A. d/b/a LAN Colombia requests that the Department promptly renew its exemption authority to engage in scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail from points behind Colombia via Colombia and intermediate points to any point or points in the UnitedApplication of LAN Colombia for Renewal of an Exemption Page 3
