RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR AN EXEMPTION 

FILED BY LONGTAIL AVIATION INTERNATIONAL LIMITED 

1) The name and address of the Applicant are as follows: 

Longtail Aviation International Limited 

#6, Southside Road 

St. Davids Parish DD03 

Bermuda. 

The Applicant is a "company limited by shares" organized under 

the laws of Bermuda. (A "company limited by shares" is the 

Bermuda equivalent of a U.S. C corporation). 

2) The name and address of government air transport authority 

having jurisdiction over Applicant is: 

Bermuda Department of Civil Aviation 

P.O. Box GE 218 

St. George's DDBX

The Applicant's principal Flight Operations Inspector is 

Inspector Peter N. Adhemar, who can be reached via email at 

pnadhemar@gov.bm , and by telephone at +1 441 293-4994. 

3) The Applicant has been conducting on-demand, passenger 

charter operations between Bermuda and the United States and 

Fifth Freedom charters subject to prior approval under 14 CFR 

Part 212. The Applicant uses business jets in its operation, 

but has not used and does NOT propose to use any aircraft having 

more than 19 passenger seats. The Applicant anticipates that 

the majority of its operations will continue to originate in 

Bermuda, and will involve the carriage of private individuals or 

small groups from Bermuda to one or more destinations within the 

United States. The Applicant will not conduct operations in 
violation of U.S. cabotage rules. The operations that the 

Applicant conducts are not encompassed by a bilateral Agreement. 

However, a large number of U.S. carriers operating under 14 

C.F.R. Part 135 conduct similar operations from the United 

States to Bermuda. The government of Bermuda does not prohibit, 

regulate or restrict these operations. Thus it is the case that 

this application is supported by adequate reciprocity. The 

Applicant seeks an exemption for at least one year under 49 

u.s.c. § 40109. 

4) The Applicant currently has Part 129 Operations 

Specifications in effect with the U.S. Federal Aviation

copy of the current Air Operator Certificate is attached.
