APPLICATION OF ACT HAVAYOLLARI A.Ş. D/B/A 

ACT AIRLINES FOR A FOREIGN AIR CARRIER PERMIT 

AND AN EXEMPTION

 Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41301, Part 211 of the Department's Economic 

Regulations, and the August 26, 2005 "Streamlining" Notice in Docket OST2005-22228, ACT Havayolları A.Ş. d/b/a ACT Airlines requests that the 

Department issue a foreign air carrier permit to enable ACT Airlines, 

consistent with the open skies, U.S.-Turkey Air Transport Agreement, to 

operate charter foreign air transportation of property and mail between a 

point or points in Turkey, via intermediate points, and points in the United 

States and beyond, and other charters in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 212. 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109, ACT Airlines also requests: (1) exemption 

authority, to the extent necessary and for an initial period of two years or 

until the requested permit is issued, to enable it to hold out and provide the 
ACT Airlines 

Permit and Exemption Application 

Page 2 

service described above; and (2) such additional or other relief as the 

Department may deem necessary or appropriate. 

 In support of this application, ACT Airlines provides the information 

required by 14 C.F.R. § 211.20 in the Exhibits attached to this application 

and states as follows: 

 1. ACT Airlines is a Turkish-flag carrier headquartered in İstanbul, 

Turkey. Father and son Yavuz and Dağlar Çizmeci, both Turkish citizens, 

own and control 51% of the holding company which owns ACT Airlines; four 

of the seven members of the ACT Airlines Board of Directors are Turkish 

citizens. The remaining 49% is held by a holding company that, in turn, is 

90% owned by HNA Group, the parent of Hainan Airlines, and 10% by U.S. 

citizen Bharat Bhise. Bhise and two HNA appointees also sit on the Board of 

ACT Airlines. ACT Airlines therefore submits that substantial ownership 

and effective control of ACT Airlines rests with Turkish nationals, meeting 

the Department's nationality requirement for foreign carriers. Nonetheless, 

should the Department conclude otherwise, ACT Airlines respectfully 

requests that the Department waive that requirement. There is nothing in 

the ownership and control of ACT Airlines that would be inimical to U.S. 

aviation policy or interests, particularly in light of the U.S.-Turkey open skies 

aviation agreement and good U.S.-China aviation relations. See ULS Airlines 

Cargo, Order 2010-12-18 at 2, finalized, Order 2011-3-12 (49% Russian 

investment in Turkish cargo carrier). 
ACT Airlines 

Permit and Exemption Application 

Page 3 

2. ACT Airlines is fit, willing, and able to provide all-cargo, charter 

foreign air transportation to and from the United States. Its key personnel 

possess substantial business and aviation experience, and it has the financial 

resources necessary to serve the United States safely and without undue risk. 

 3. The 2000 U.S.-Turkey agreement authorizes open skies rights for 

U.S. and Turkish carriers. The Department has granted another Turkish allcargo carrier the rights ACT Airlines requests here, see ULS Airlines Cargo, 

and the Turkish government has designated ACT Airlines under that 

agreement by letter dated January 9, 2012. 

4. ACT Airlines' proposed operations, beginning with ad hoc cargo 

charters, will benefit the shipping public by providing additional, competitive 

price and service options for Turkey-U.S. air cargo and otherwise are 

consistent with the public interest for the reasons described herein. These 

operations will have a limited environmental impact.1/ 

 

 

1/ ACT Airlines estimates that its forecast U.S. operations would not result in a 

net change in fuel consumption of 10,000,000 gallons of fuel or more 

annually. Accordingly, issuance of the requested authority 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, as implemented in Part 313 of the Department's 

Regulations.

WHEREFORE, ACT Airlines respectfully requests that the 

Department of Transportation expeditiously grant the permit and exemption 

requested herein and such other relief as may be necessary or appropriate.
