herein. 

4. Package Delivery )(press, ltd. is owned by cmzens Of the Bahamas and all members

5. On July 20, 2004 the Department of Civil Aviation granted Package Delivery Xpress. 

Ltd. Authority to operate international charter combination flights between the Bahamas and the 

United States of America. 

6. Package Delivery Xpress, Ltd. was formed in order to increase the on-demand 

charter options in the U.S.-Bahamas cargo market Package Delivery Xpress. ltd. will 

therefore enhance the existing charter cargo services by offering shippers from both the 

Bahamas and the United States of America a Bahamas-flag earner option in this highly-traveled 

market. 

7. Package Delivery Xpress, Ltd. is fit, willing, and able to provide the charter services 

applied tor herein. The officers, directors and key management personnel are all experienced 

in their respective fields, including asset management, freight forwarding, and airline operations 

with both U.S.A. and Bahamian carriers. Package Delivery )(press, Ltd. has sufficient
