Application of 

ABELAG AVIATION NV 

For a foreign air carrier permit pursuant to 

49 U.S.C. § 41301 and exemption authority 

pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 

(U.S.-Europe) 

Docket DOT-OST-2015-

APPLICATION OF ABELAG AVIATION NV FOR A 

FOREIGN AIR CARRIER PERMIT AND EXEMPTION AUTHORITY 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41301 and Parts 211 and 302 of the Aviation Economic 

Regulations, Abe lag Aviation NV ("Abe lag") hereby applies for a foreign air carrier permit 

to the full extent authorized by the Air Transport Agreement Between the United States and 

the European Community and the Member States of the European Community (hereinafter 

the "US-EC Agreement") to enable it to engage in: 

1. foreign charter air transportation of persons and property 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; 

11. foreign charter air transportation of persons and property between any point or 

points in the United States and any point or points in any member of the European 

Common Aviation Area; 

111. other charters pursuant to the prior approval requirements set forth in Part 212 of 

the Department's Economic Regulations; and 

1v. transportation authorized by any additional route rights made available to 

European Community carriers in the future. 
Abelag further requests exemption authority under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 to the extent 

necessary to enable it to provide the services described above pending issuance of a foreign 

air carrier permit and such additional or other relief as the Department may deem necessary 

or appropriate. 

Abelag requests that the authority described above be issued expeditiously and that 

the Department process this application pursuant to the streamlined regulatory procedures for 

licensing U.S. and foreign air carriers set forth in the Notice dated August 23, 2005 (Docket 

OST-2005-22228), 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) approving the corresponding foreign air carrier permit under the showcause procedures described in the August 23, 2005 Notice. Abelag further requests the 

Department process this application pursuant to the streamlined regulatory procedures for 

licensing European Union air carriers pursuant to the provisions of the U.S.-EU Reciprocal 

Recognition Procedures set forth in the Department's notice dated February 19, 2009. 

In support of this application, Abelag states as follows: 

1. The full name and address ofthe applicant is: 

Abelag Aviation NV 

Kortrijkstraat 317 

B8560 Wevelgem 

Belgium 

The applicant is a corporation organized under the laws of Belgium. 

2. The name and official address of the government mr transport authority 

having regulatory jurisdiction over Abelag is: 

2 
Belgian Civil Aviation Authority 

Vooruitgangstraat 56 

B 121 0 Brussels 

Belgium 

3. Abe lag holds authority to operate the aircraft listed in its Air Operator 

Certificate B-3002, which was issued by the Civil Aviation Authority and is attached as 

Exhibit 1. 

4. Since March 30, 2008, a1r transportation between the United States and 

Belgium is governed by the Air Transport Agreement Between the United States and the 

European Community and the Member States of the European Community (signed April 30, 

2007). Abelag is requesting authority to the full extent provided by the US-EC Agreement 

and automatic application of additional rights made available to European Community 

carriers in the future. 

5. Abelag requests this authority to provide ad hoc, on demand charter 

operations between points outside the United States and points in the United States. These 

services will be operated with business jet aircraft. Abelag has held a Part 375 Special 

Authorization issued by the Department since February 17, 2009. 

6. Abelag meets the Department's requirements for msurance. Attached as 

Exhibit 2 are OST Forms 6411. 

7. Abelag is applying to the Department for authority to operate aircraft designed 

to have a maximum passenger capacity of not more than 60 seats or a maximum payload 

capacity of not more than 18,000 pounds. Pursuant to Order 98-1-31 issued February 3, 

1998, Abelag is exempt from the prov1s10ns of 49 U.S.C. § 41313, which requires 

3 
submission of an Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Plan. Further, pursuant to Part 243.3 

of the Aviation Economic regulations, Abelag is not required to collect passenger manifest 

information. 

8. A partial waiver of the liability limitations of the Warsaw Convention (OST 

Form 4523) is attached as Exhibit 3. 

9. Abe lag anticipates that grant of the requested authority will not result in 

aircraft fuel consumption exceeding 10 million gallons. Accordingly, grant of the requested 

foreign air carrier permit and exemption authority would not constitute a major regulatory 

action under the Energy and Conservation Act of 1975, as defined in Section 313.4 of the 

Aviation Economic regulations. 

10. The verification required by § 211.11 of the Aviation Economic regulations is 

attached as Exhibit 4. 

WHEREFORE, Abelag Aviation NV submits that grant of this application would be 

consistent with the public interest and requests that the Department issue a foreign air carrier 

permit and exemption authority to enable Abelag to engage in: 

1. foreign charter air transportation of persons and property 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; 

ii. foreign charter air transportation of persons and property between any point or 

points in the United States and any point or points in any member of the 

European Common Aviation Area; 

4 
111. other charters pursuant to the prior approval requirements set forth in Part 212 

ofthe Department's Economic Regulations; and 

1v. transportation authorized by any additional route rights made available to 

European Community carriers in the future.

The undersigned carriers (hereinafter referred to as "the Carriers") hereby agree as follows: 

1. Each of the Carriers shall, effective May 16, 1966, include the following in its conditions of carriage, including tariffs embodying 

conditions of carriage filed by it with any government: 

"The Carrier shall avail itself of the limitation of liability provided in the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules 

Relating to International Carriage by Air signed at Warsaw October 12th, 1929, or provided in the said Convention as amended by 

the Protocol signed at The Hague September 28th, 1955. However, in accordance with Article 22(1) of said Convention, or said 

Convention as amended by said Protocol, the Carrier agrees that, as to all international transportation by the Carrier as defined in 

the said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol, which, according to the contract of Carriage, includes a 

point in the United Sta~es of America as a point of origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place 

(1) The limit of liability for each passenger for death, wounding, or other bodily injury shall be the sum of US $75,000 

inclusive of legal fees and costs, except that, in case of a claim brought in a State where provision is made for separate 

award of legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of US $58,000 exclusive of legal fees and costs. 

(2) The Carrier shall not, with respect to any claim arising out of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger, 

avail itself of any defense under Article 20(1) of said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol. 

Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and liabilities of the Carrier with regard to any claim brought by, on behalf 

of, or in respect of any person who has willfully caused damage which resulted in death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a 

passenger." 

2. Each Carrier shall, at the time of delivery of the ticket, fum ish to each passenger whose transportation is governed by the 

Convention, or the Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol, and by the special contract described in paragraph 1, the following

"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 A o f £. A 6 A V j t{ I i c N f..l V 

[certain ]" 

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

limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed US $75,000/per passenger, and that this liability up to such limit sl1all 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 for 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 can 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." 

3. [This Agreement was filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board of the United States. The Board approved it by Order E-23680, 

adopted May 13, 1966. The Agreement (Agreement 18900) became effective May 16, 1966. On January 1, 1985, this Agreement 

became the responsibility of the Department of Transportation (DOT) by operation of law.] 

4. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one Agreement. Any Carrier may 

become a party to this Agreement by signing a counterpart hereof and depositing it wit~ DOT. 

5. Any Carrier party hereto may withdraw from this Agreement by giving twelve (1 ~) mon written notice of withdrawal to DOT 

and the other Carriers parties to the Agreement. 

•Either alternative may be used.
