The Honorable Anthony Foxx 

Secretary 

U.S. Department ofTransportation 

1200 New Jersey Avenue SE 

Washington, D.C. 20590 

Dear Secretary Foxx: ... 

We write to you today regarding the application ofNorwegian Air International Limited (NAI) 

for a foreign air carrier permit and express our deep concern that this will create a competitive 

disadvantage for domestic airlines. 

The application submitted to on December 2, 2013 raises a number of red flags that we would 

like to share with you. NAI holds an Air Carrier Certificate (AOC) from Ireland. The company, 

however, is owned by Norwegian Air Shuttle (NAS), an airline based in Norway. NAS 

established NAI in Ireland (which NAI does not fly to) to avoid the application ofNorwegian 

employment law to NAI's flight crew. These crew members are not covered by European 

employment laws but by Asian laws. For example, NAI's pilots are employed by a Singapore 

company on individual contracts covered by Singapore law. The pilots are then contracted to 

operate NAI's aircraft. Their compensation is substantially below their counterparts who fly the 

aircraft ofNAS. 

As a Norwegian company, NAS could not establish an Irish subsidiary and have it operate 

commercial services to the U.S. but for the U.S.-EU Air Transport Agreement. This agreement 

has a provision (Article 17 bis) that says that "the opportunities created by the Agreement are not 

intended to undermine labour standards or the labour-related rights and principles contained in 

the Parties' respective laws." 

The NAS/NAI business model appears to be designed expressly in a manner that undermines 

U.S. and Norwegian labor standards. NAI's filings submitted to your agency are misleading for a 

number of reasons, such as why NAI was established in Ireland and NAS's treatment of its 

employees. The filings also raise questions about which labor laws will apply to NAI's flight 

crew. 

Use of the NAS/NAI business model on transatlantic markets would put U.S. airlines at an unfair 

competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, approval ofNAI's application for authority would be 

inconsistent with the Congressionally-established public interest as set forth in the aviation 

statutes and is counter to our current EU-U.S. Air Transport Agreement. 

PAINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 

s 10-140530-001 
We hope you will consider the points highlighted in this letter and reject this misguided 

application. Thank you for your attention to this matter and we look forward to working with 

you.
