APPLICATION OF WESTERN GLOBAL AIRLINES, L.L.C. 

FOR FOREIGN CHARTER CARGO AUTHORITY 

Western Global Airlines, L.L.C. ("Western Global"), a newly formed air carrier, 

hereby applies, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41102, Subpart B of the Department of 

Transportation's Procedural Regulations (14 CFR Subpart B), and Section 204.3 of the 

Department's Economic Regulations (14 CFR § 204.3), for a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity authorizing it to conduct foreign charter air transportation of 

property and mail with large aircraft, as described in this Application. A separate 

application for equivalent domestic authority is being filed contemporaneously in 

another docket. 

Background 

Western Global was formed earlier this year by Mr. James K. Neff, a 40-year 

veteran of the air cargo business and founder and former CEO of Southern Air, Inc. 

The plan of the company is to provide widebody cargo capacity on a leased ACMI 

(Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance and Insurance) basis to air carriers and freight forwarders 
in the United States and around the world. The carrier plans to start in September 2013 

by operating one MD-11 freighter aircraft owned by and leased from a company 

controlled by Mr. Neff; the fleet will be increased to four aircraft during the first year of 

operation. 

Western Global's owner and key management personnel are highly experienced 

in aviation management and operations, particularly in the air freight sector, and their 

records at previous carriers demonstrate their ability to manage a safe and profitable 

cargo airline. The carrier is a citizen of the United States and is fit, willing and able to 

operate the proposed transportation in a safe and compliant manner.

3. Citizenship and Substantial Interests: (§ 204.3(e) and (g)) 

Western Global is a citizen of the United States as defined in 49 U.S.C. 

§ 41102(a)(15). One hundred percent of the membership interest is held by trusts 

formed in the State of Florida for the benefit of, and controlled by, members of the Neff

joint trustees of the CPN Trust are James Neff and Danielle J. Neff, Esq. (his daughter), 

and the beneficiary is Carmit Neff. All of these persons are United States citizens. This 

structure is almost identical to the ownership structure of Southern Air, Inc. when it was 

first certificated in 1999. 

An affidavit of the company's U.S. citizenship is attached as Exhibit WG-2. 

4. Key Personnel: (§ 204.3(0)

An organizational chart, showing the relationship of the various personnel and 

operating departments of the company, is attached as Exhibit WG-4. 

The carrier has no board of directors, which is permitted under Florida limited 

liability company law. 

5. Subsidiaries and Related Companies: (§ 204.3(h) and (i)) 

Western Global has no subsidiaries; however, it does have two affiliated 

companies through common ownership by James Neff and his family. These include: 

• Neff Air LLC, a Delaware liability company, that is jointly owned by James and 

Carmit Neff, which provides management for the aircraft and parts owned by 

special purpose companies (established specifically to hold title to the aircraft) 

controlled by the Neff family. Mr. Neff is the CEO of the company. 

• Nordic Global Air, a Finnish all-cargo airline that holds a foreign air carrier 

permit from the Department (Order 2012-1-29). NGA is owned in part (29 

percent) by a trust controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Neff. Mr. Neff serves as the 

non-executive Chairman of the carrier. 

4 
6. Financial Statement: (§ 204.3(k)) 

As the company has not yet commenced operations, the only statement is the 

balance sheet current as of the date of this filing. Since the company was formed in 

March of this year and has conducted no business, there is no income statement. The 

balance sheet was prepared by Berkowtiz Pollack Brant, certified public accountants. 

This statement is attached as Exhibit WG-5. 

The balance sheet reflects the fact that Western Global has cash assets on 

deposit of $600,000 and no long- or short-term debt. The initial start-up costs that have 

already been paid, including initial salary and benefits outlays for current employees, 

rental of office space, legal and consulting work for certification, and computer 

equipment and software have been borne by Mr. Neff out of his personal funds. 

7. Actions and Outstanding Judgments: (§ 204.3(l) and (m)) 

There are no pending legal actions or outstanding judgments against Western 

Global, Neff Air, Nordic Global Air or any key personnel or stockholders in the 

companies. 

8. Aircraft Fleet: (§ 204.3(n)) 

Western Global plans to operate four MD-11freighter aircraft during the first year 

of operation. These aircraft are currently owned by four special-purpose limited liability 

companies that are owned entirely by James and Carmit Neff, and will be leased to 

Western Global by Neff Air, which manages the aircraft, at very favorable lease rates. 

A sworn affidavit of FAA certification and compliance for these aircraft is 

contained at Exhibit WG-6. 

5 
9. Investigations, Enforcement Actions and Complaints: (§ 204.3(o)) 

There are no investigations, enforcement actions or complaints pending at the 

Department, including the Federal Aviation Administration, involving Western Global, 

any relevant company, any personnel employed or to be employed by any relevant 

company or any person having a substantial interest in any relevant company. 

10. Charges of Fraud, Deception, etc.: (§ 204.3(p)) 

There have been no charges of unfair or deceptive or anticompetitive business 

practices, or of fraud, felony or antitrust violations, brought against any relevant 

company or person having a substantial interest in any relevant company, or member of 

the key personnel employed or to be employed by any relevant company in the past 10 

years. 

11. Aircraft Accidents or Incidents: (§ 204.3(q)) 

There have been no accidents or incidents experienced by Western Global, its 

personnel, or any relevant company, during the past year or at any time in the past and 

which remains under investigation. 

12. Description of Proposed Operation: (§ 204.3(t)) 

Western Global plans to provide its services to other air carriers as well as freight 

forwarders around the world on an ACM! basis. Its focus will be on establishing longterm working relations with those clients. Its owners and managers believe Western 

Global will be able to offer very competitive rates compared to other operators due to its 

highly experienced management team and the sharing of expenses with its affiliated 

Finnish carrier, Nordic Global. The shared cost elements are expected to include 

common contracted flight following/dispatch center, a common engine overhaul and 

6 
maintenance center, and a common contracted crew supply company. These 

cooperative relations will help minimize costs to both companies. 

13. Maintenance and Training: 

Line maintenance will be performed by Western Global's in-house mechanics, 

while heavy maintenance will be performed under contract by qualified MROs in 

Singapore and other locations in the Far East. Contracted work will be overseen by the 

Director of Maintenance. 

14. Forecast Financial Results of Operations and Financial Fitness Test: 

(§ 204.3(t)) 

Exhibit WG-7 contains the carrier's projected financial statements for the first full 

year of operations. These statements were prepared by Berkowtiz Pollack Brant, and 

are made on a cash basis. Exhibit WG-8 lays out a summary of Western Global's 

"start-up" expenses and sources of funding. How the carrier will meet the three-month 

zero-revenue financial fitness test is examined in Exhibit WG-9. The third-party 

verification of funds is contained at Exhibit WG-10. 

Western Global has forecast results on a quarterly basis. Since it is expecting to 

begin service late in the 3 rdQuarter 2013, the column for that quarter only estimates the 

results of one month's operation. 

Certain assumptions are made in the forecast: (1) Aircraft are assumed to 

operate only 100 hours per month during the initial two full quarters of service, 

increasing to 125 hours per month in the latter two quarters. Western Global believes 

this is an extremely conservative estimate, and actual results should be somewhat 

higher. (2) All operations are assumed to be on an ACMI lease basis; thus, the 

carrier's clients will be responsible for payment of fuel, loading and ground handling, 

7 
generally on a short-term reimbursement basis. Should clients wish to contract on a full 

charter basis (with all services to be provided by the carrier), the full price will be paid in 

advance. (3) Assumptions underlying the maintenance and operating costs are based 

on the experience of the Lessor (Neff Air) and the management team's extensive 

experience in aircraft operation, management and maintenance. Certain other costs, 

such as crew, aircraft lease, and facility rental, are based on actual negotiated contract 

rates. 

The forecast shows that Western Global is expected to be profitable beginning 

the second half of its first year of operations. 

The financial fitness test reveals that pre-operating expenses remaining to be 

paid by the company total $320,000, and that the three-month average operating 

expenses will be $4.18 million. The amount required under the Department's zerorevenue test will be $4.5 million. As the exhibits demonstrate, the company and the two 

trusts that own it have cash and short-term securities more than sufficient to cover this 

cost. Letters from the trustees of these trusts, contained in Exhibit WG-10, verify that 

the trusts pledge their cash assets to support the carrier's operation to the extent 

needed. 

15. Warsaw Waiver Agreement: (§ 204.3(u)) 

A signed counterpart of Agreement 18900 (OST Form 4523) is included as 

Exhibit WG-11. 

16. Family Assistance Plan (49 U.S.C. § 41113) and Passenger Manifest 

Plan: (Part 243) 

Western Global is aware of its responsibilities under 49 U.S.C. Section 41113 to 

submit a plan to implement the Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act of 1996 (Pub. 

8 
L.101-264), as amended. That plan has been prepared, and will be filed shortly. The 

carrier will incorporate procedures implementing that plan into its manual system. 

17. FAA Certification Status 

Western Global has submitted its Pre-Application Statement of Intent (PASI) for 

an Air Carrier Operating Certificate and Part 121 Operations Specifications to the FAA 

(Tampa Flight Standards District Office), and has requested a formal application 

meeting. It has also prepared its formal application for presentation at the meeting. 

18. Certification: (§ 204.3(v)) 

The required certification, signed by Western Global's President and CEO, is 

attached as Exhibit WG-12. 

19. Conclusion: 

As the above information and attached exhibit materials demonstrate, Western 

Global is legally and operationally well qualified to receive certification by the 

Department to operate charter air cargo transportation worldwide. Its presence in the 

market will bring competition and increase the options and flexibility available to other 

air carriers and to freight forwarders. 

WHEREFORE, Western Global Airlines, Inc. requests that the Department issue 

it a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to operate foreign charter air 

transportation of property and mail, and such other relief as the Department may deem 

necessary.

Mr. Neff has unparalleled experience in the aviation industry. After graduating from 

Purdue University with an engineering degree in 1971, Mr. Neff commenced his aviation 

career with Flying Tigers where he was in charge of expanding and developing Tigers' 

worldwide fleet. In 1979 he joined Continental Airlines for two years to head up the 

corporate planning function before returning to the air freight industry. Following the 

deregulation of air cargo, Mr. Neff established and developed the in-house air 

transportation systems for both Emery Air Freight and Burlington Air Express from 1981 

to 1987. Then, Mr. Neff founded and built U.S. Turbine Engine Corporation, a highly 

valuable commercial aircraft engine and parts company which he sold in 1998. 
Exhibit WG-3

p. 2 

In 1999, Mr. Neff founded Southern Air Inc., one of the most profitable and successful all 

cargo airlines in aviation history. After having grown to a fleet of ten B747 freighter 

aircraft acquired with debt-free ownership, Mr. Neff sold the company in 2007 and 

remained CEO until 2010. 

In 2010, Mr. Neff started a leasing company, Neff Air, where he has acquired, without 

debt, a fleet of two 747-400 and six MD-11 freighters. In late 2011, he helped develop 

Nordic Global Airlines, a Finnish all cargo airline affliated with Finnair. Nordic Global is 

headquartered in Helsinki where it has a full complement of operations and management 

personnel. Mr. Neff serves as Board Chairman, a nonpaid advisory position. Nordic 

Global leases its aircraft from Neff Air and has successfully grown from one to four MD-11 

freighters in less than two years. 

Mr. Neff is now devoting his many years of experience, extensive capabilities and financial 

resources to establish Western Global Airlines. This new cargo airline is expected to be the 

crowning achievement of Mr. Neff's long and highly successful aviation career.

WESTERN GLOBAL AIR 

NARRATIVE TO FORECAST FINANCIAL RESULTS 

The forecast financial results are stated on a cash basis, and are based on 

certain assumptions: (1) It is expected that the first aircraft will initially be operated 

approximately 100 hours per month, with growth to 125 hours per month and the 

addition of three more aircraft within the first year of operation. (2) As an ACMI 

operation, the carrier's clients will be responsible for fuel, loading and ground handling, 

generally on a prepay basis. These cost elements are shown both as expenses to 

Western Global, and as revenue, as they are to be reimbursed. (3) Assumptions 

underlying the maintenance and operating costs are based on the experience of the 

Lessor (Neff Air) and the management team's extensive experience in aircraft 

operation, management and maintenance. (4) Crew costs are based on a negotiated 

rate from AeroPartners, L.L.C., which will be providing the crews on a contract basis. 

As startup is expected late in the third quarter of 2013, the revenues and 

expenses for only one full month are shown on the projected P&L Statement for Q3 

2013. Numbers are shown by quarter. The company estimates that for the 13-month 

period, of Q4 2013-Q3 2014 it will experience revenues of $38.75 million, expenses of 

$37.97 million, and a net profit of $780,000. The profit estimate is fairly solid; though 

the fuel and handling costs may differ from projection, they will in any event be 

reimbursed.

START-UP EXPENSES 
Exhibit VVG-8 

Page 1 of 1 

WESTERN GLOBAL AIRLINES 

START-UP COSTS AND SOURCES OF FUNDING 

Most of Western Global Airlines' "start-up costs" will have already been borne by 

Mr. Neff by the time this application is filed. Aircraft lease, insurance, salaries and 

facilities rental will not be paid by the airline until the time revenue service is launched. 

The only additional start-up costs that can be foreseen at this time are the 

costs of obtaining FAA and DOT operating authority (including aircraft proving 

runs); these will be attributed to the airline. 

These costs are as follows: 

MAINTENANCE BRIDGING & CONFORMITY $ 95,000.00 

FAA/DOT CERTIFICATION, LEGAL $125,000.00 

CREW TRAINING $ 50,000.00 

PROVING RUNS (TOTAL COST) $ 50,000.00 

TOTAL $320,000.00 

The very modest cost of the FAA certification is due to the fact that much of 

the work is being performed by operations and maintenance experts already on 

staff at companies that will be providing services to the proposed operation, who 

contribute their time as needed on matters such as drafting the manuals. 

Apart from funding already provided or to be provided by Mr. Neff, funding will 

come from cash assets on deposit in the company's bank, and, to the extent necessary, 

from the assets of the two trusts that own Western Global. Verification of the assets of 

the Company and these trusts, and a pledge of trust assets from the trustees of these 

trusts, are contained at Exhibit WG-10.

NARRATIVE FOR MEETING 

FINANCIAL FITNESS TEST 
Exhibit WG-9 

Page 1 of 1 

WESTERN GLOBAL AIRLINES 

FINANCIAL FITNESS ANALYSIS 

As described in the previous exhibit, the company's pre-operating "startup" 

costs are expected to be a very modest $320,000. Its projected unreimbursed 

operating costs for the first full year of the Western Global operation (starting Q4 

2013) will be $17,518,010; thus a three-month average would be $4,379,502. These 

expenses are easily covered by the company's available cash and short- term 

securities. 

The financial fitness test calculation is thus as follows: 

Start Up Costs (to be paid by WGA) 

3-Month Operating Cost Average 

$ 320,000 

$4,379,502 

Total $4,699,502 

Available Cash 1 $7,380,893 

Surplus $2,681,391 

Funding is drawn from assets of Western Global and the two trusts that own the company.

'ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised 

that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion 

entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place 

in the United states of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the 

liability of 

(certain 

((name of carrier) and certain other] carriers parties to such special contracts for death of or personal injury to passengers is 

limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed OS $75,000 per passenger, and that this liability up to such limit shall 

not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier. For such passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special 

contracts or on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier 

tor death or Personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately US $10,000 or US $20,000. 

The names of Carriers parties to such special contracts are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be 

examined on request. 

Additional protection c'an usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not 

affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further 

information please consult your airline or insurance company representative."
