Page 21 of 27 (r) A brief narrative history of the applicant.

 Response:

Star Marianas Air, Inc. was originally incorporated in the Commonwealth of the Northern

Mariana Islands as Star Aviation, Inc., on August 8, 2007.

On April 25, 2008, 75% of the Company’s stock was purchased by Mr. Robert F. Christian.

Alfred Yue, an original incorporator remained as the only other shareholder but was not vote d

to be a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Christian became the sole member

of the Board and held the positions of President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

On May 12, 2008, the Company amended its articles and renam ed the Corporation, Star

Marianas Air, Inc. “STAR” is an acronym formed by using the first letters of the Islands in the

Northern Mariana Islands beginning with the Island of Saipan (S) in the north and then south

including Tinian (T), Aguijan (A) and Rota (R).

On August 8, 2008, the Federal Avia tion Administration accepted the Company’s application to

become an Air Carrier and issued the preliminary Certificate Number 1SMA230P. On April 1,

2009, the Company received its Certificate (1SMA230M) and Operations Specifications allowing

operations to begin as an on

‐ demand service provider, using three (3) single

‐ engine Piper PA32

‐

300 aircraft, for day and /or night, passenger and/or cargo operations, under visual flight rules

between the Islands of the Northern Marianas and Guam.

Initially, flights were primarily being chartered by customers of the Tinian Dynasty Hotel and

Casino (TDHC) and by TDHC itself to accommodate its staff. The flights chartered by the TDHC

were used primarily as a supplement to their existing ag reements with a ferry boat service

which provided the majority of their staff, customer, and cargo transfers between Saipan and

Tinian. In November 2009, the TDHC disclosed that the ferry boat would no longer be available

after March 2010 and requested SMA to provide a quotation for transporting additional

passengers and guests staying at the TDHC.

Consistent with the projected demand, SMA coordinated the acquisition of thr ee additional

Piper PA32

‐ 300 aircraft that were subsequently leased to SMA. The Company also increased its

flight, maintenance, and station staff in order to ensure that proper service and safety le vels

were maintained and restructured its ownership structure.

On February 4, 2010, Mr. Robert F. Christian sold 50% of the company shares to Shaun R.

Christian, his son, as part of an agreement that brought Shaun Christian to involve in the

Company. Shaun Christian had previously wor ked with Robert Christian on other projects and

was known by the FAA for work associated with Pacific Island Aviation (PIVA290B). Robert

Christian also transferred his remaining 25% of the stock to his spouse, Paz L. Christian on

February 4, 2010. On April 19, 2010, Robert Christian, res igned as President, Secretary, and[Type text]

APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATED AIR CARRIER AUTHORITY

STAR MARIANAS AIR, INC.

Page 22 of 27 Treasurer. The stockholders then elected Shaun R. Christian President and Secretary, Paz L.

Christian as Treasurer, and Robert Christian as a Director.

In April 2010, demand sharply increased as a result of the suspension of passenger ferry boat

service and an increase in passengers visiting the TDHC facility.

Since most of the flights being chartered ar e for one

‐ way service, SMA has many open seats

available on repositioning flights that could be used for individual seat sales. For this reason

SMA is seeking to gain the authority to offer scheduled flights to the general public.[Type text]
