AirBaltic plans to offer scheduled air service between Riga, Latvia and New York (JFK) by codesharing on flights operated by Uzbekistan Airways. AirBaltic will begin these services as soon as all necessary governmental approvals are received. AirBaltic requests, pursuant to the Notice and procedures set forth in Docket OST-2005-22228, that the Department process this application under its streamlined regulatory procedures and issue a single order: (1) granting the requested exemption authority for a two-year period or until the requested permit authority becomes effective, whichever occurs first, and (2) granting the corresponding foreign air carrier permit request under the "show cause" procedures described in the Notice dated August 23, 2005. In support of this application and in compliance with the Department's requirements under 14 C.F.R. 

## § 211.20 concerning an application for an initial foreign air carrier permit and the U.S.-EU Reciprocal Recognition Procedures, AirBaltic states as follows: 1. AirBaltic is a joint stock company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Latvia with its principal office at Riga International Airport, Riga, LV-1053, Latvia. The major shareholder of the company is the Republic of Latvia (99.8%), represented by the Ministry of Transport. 2. AirBaltic's operations are regulated by the Government of the Republic of Latvia.

AirBaltic is licensed by and subject to the jurisdiction of the Latvian Civil Aviation Agency located at: Civilas Aviacijas AgentOra Riga International Airport LV-1 053, Latvia A copy of AirBaltic's Air Operator Certificate ("AOC") issued by the Latvian Civil Aviation Agency is attached as Exhibit A
. The AOC, which has no expiration date, and the related route license authorize AirBaltic to operate international and domestic air transportation services , including the international scheduled and charter air transportation services proposed in this application. 3
. As an air carrier of Latvia and the European Union, AirBaltic requests that the Department grant it a foreign air carrier permit to authorize foreign air transportation consistent with the full scope of the U
. S.-EU Agreement, as amended
.2 

## Under that Agreement, EU Member State air carriers have the right to engage in : • Foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of persons , property and mail from any point or points behind any Member State of the European Union, via any point or points in any Member State and via intermediate points , to any point or points in the United States and beyond; • Foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in the United States and any point or points in any member of the European Common Aviation Area; • Foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of cargo between any point or points in the United States and any other point or points ; • Other charters pursuant to the prior approval requirements set forth in 14 C.F

## of6 • Transportation authorized by any additional route rights made available to European Union carriers under the U.S.-EU Air Transport Agreement in the future
. 4
. In the interim, while its application for a foreign air carrier permit is pending, AirBaltic requests that it be granted an exemption from 49 U.S.C
. 

## § 41301 to the extent necessary to allow it to provide the services described above for a two-year period or until the requested permit authority becomes effective, whichever occurs first. 5
. The Department has previously found AirBaltic "financially and operationally qualified to conduct [its] operations under [a} code-share arrangement" and that the authority was "provided for in the U.S
. -EU Air Transport Agreement." 3 

## AirBaltic remains financially and operationally qualified to operate the service for which authority is sought in this application
. 6
. As soon as all necessary governmental authority is received, AirBaltic plans to begin offering scheduled air service between Riga, Latvia and New York (JFK) by displaying its "BT" designator code on flights operated by Uzbekistan Airways. 4
