BEFORE THE 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

Amendment to Application of 

OPEN JOINT STOCK COMPANY 

TRANSAERO AIRLINES 

for foreign air carrier permit pursuant to 

49 U.S.C. § 41302 

(U.S.-Russian Federation) 

Docket DOT-OST-2010-0093 

AMENDMENT TO APPLICATION OF 

OPEN JOINT STOCK COMPANY TRANSAERO AIRLINES 

FOR FOREIGN AIR CARRIER PERMIT 

Open Joint Stock Company Transaero Airlines ("Transaero") requests an 

amendment of its pending application for a foreign air carrier permit to include authority 

to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail (i) from any 

point or points behind the Russian Federation, via any point or points in the Russian 

Federation and intermediate points, to New York, New York and Miami, Florida, and (ii) 

from New York, New York and Miami, Florida, to any point or points in the Russian 

Federation and beyond. Transaero's pending application requests only authority to 

provide service between Moscow, on the one hand, and New York, New York and Miami, 

Florida, on the other. With the broader authority, permitted by the January 14, 1994 Air 

Transport Agreement between the United States and the Russian Federation, as amended 
("U.S.-Russia Agreement"), Transaero will be able to integrate its New York and Miami 

service to its other operations via its Moscow hub.i 

In support of this amendment, Transaero states as follows: 

1. On April 13, 2010, Transaero applied under 49 U.S.C. §§ 41302 and 40109, 

Subparts B and C of the Department's Rules of Practice in Proceedings (14 C.F.R. §§ 

302.201 and 302.301, et seq.). Part 211 of the Department's Economic Regulations, the 

Department's August 23, 2005 Notice in Docket OST-2005-22228, and the U.S.-Russia 

Agreement, for an exemption and a foreign air carrier permit authorizing Transaero to 

provide: (i) scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between 

Moscow, Russian Federation, on the one hand, and New York, New York and Miami, 

Florida, on the other hand; and (ii) charter foreign air transportation of persons, property 

and mail between a point(s) in the Russian Federation, on the one hand, and a point(s) in 

the United States, on the other hand, and other charter flights as permitted pursuant to 

Part 212 of the Department's Regulations. 

2. On June 7, 2010, the Department issued Order 2010-6-11, granting Transaero 

the requested exemption authority and directing aU interested persons to show cause why 

its tentative decision to grant a foreign air carrier permit should not be made final ("Show 

Cause Order"). The deadline for interested parties to submit comments to the Show Cause 

Order is no later than June 28, 2010. As of the time of this fihng, Transaero has not been 

served with any comments. 

1 Transaero has been granted an exemption in this docket to provide service between 

Russia, on the one hand, and New York and Miami on the other (DOT Order 2010-6-11). 

Concurrent with this application, Transaero is applying to amend its exemption consistent 

with the authority requested herein. 
3. Transaero seeks authority to provide air transportation from points (i) behind 

Moscow (both intra-Russian and third country points), via Moscow to Miami, Florida and 

New York, New York, and (ii) from New York, New York and Miami, Florida, to any point 

or points in the Russian Federation and beyond. Transaero intends to commence service 

to the United States in October 2010 by offering scheduled flights between Domodedovo 

International Airport ("DME"), on the one hand, and JFK International Airport and 

Miami International Airport, on the other. Transaero would like to expand its authority 

so that it can sell tickets between other points in its network and Miami and New York, 

via Moscow. 

4. Transaero is fit, willing and able to provide the foreign scheduled and charter air 

transportation services described herein and to comply with Title 49 of the United States 

Code and the applicable rules, regulations and requirements of DOT and other 

governmental agencies. 

5. Grant of a foreign air carrier permit to Transaero to include the requested 

operations set forth herein is fully consistent with the U.S.-Russia Agreement. Aviation 

relations between the U.S. and Russia have been harmonious since the signing of the U.S.-

Russia Agreement, and there is every reason to believe that they will continue as such. 

The fact that the authority is consistent with the rights available to Russian carriers 

under the U.S.-Russia Agreement provides prima facie evidence that approval of this 

application is in the public interest. 

6. Based upon its anticipated services to and from the U.S., Transaero expects that 

its annual fuel consumption will be less than ten million gallons. Thus, issuance of this 
foreign air carrier permit will not constitute a "major federal action significantly affecting 

the quality of the human environment" within the meaning of Section 102(2)(c) of the 

National Environmental Policy Act or a "major regulatory action" under the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act. 

WHEREFORE, Transaero respectfully requests that the Department approve this 

application and promptly issue a foreign air carrier permit authorizing the air 

transportation described herein, and grant such further and additional reUef as the public 

interest may require. Transaero will poll carrier representatives served with its 

application and advise the Department of the results. 

Respectfully submitted,
