FOR EXEMPTION AUTHORITY AND A STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION 

Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter mbH("LGW"), hereby requests, pursuant to 49 

U.S.c. § 40109, 14 C.F.R. Part 212, and Subpart C of the Department's Rules of Practice

LGW Application/or Exemptioll Authority and Statement 0/ Authorization 

Page 30/6 

LGW hereby requests exemption authority to the full extent authorized by the Air 

Transport Agreement between the United States of America and The European 

Community (hereinafter the "U.S.-EC Open Skies Agreement,,)3, to conduct the 

following scheduled and charter services, including: 

(i) foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of persons, property and 

mail from any point or points behind any Member State(s) of the European 

Union, via any point or points in any Member State(s) and via 

intermediate points to any point or points in the United States and beyond; 

(ii) foreign scheduled and charter air transportation of persons, property and 

mail between any point or points in the United States and any point or 

points in any member of the European Common Aviation Area; 

(iii) foreign scheduled and charter cargo air transportation between any point 

or points in the United States and any other point or points; 

(iv) other charters pursuant to the prior approval requirements set forth in 14 

C.F.R. Part 212 of the Department's Economic Regulations; and 

(v) transportation authorized by any additional route rights made available to 

European Community carriers in the future. 

LGW is filing this application under the provisions of the U.S.-EU Reciprocal 

Recognition Procedures. Thus, LGW is filing information in support of its application as 

set forth in Application Procedures for Foreign Air Carriers of the European Union 

issued by the Department on February 19,2009. 

In support of this Application, LGW states the following: 

1. Name and address of the applicant. 

The complete name and address is as follows: 

Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter mbH 

Flugplatz 11 

D-443 19, Dortmund 

3 The U.S.-EC Open Skies Agreement was signed on April 25, 2007 and April 30, 2007 and was amended 

by a Protocol dated June 24, 2010. 
LGW Application/or Exemption Authority and Statement 0/ AutllOrization 

Page 40/6 

2. Statement of the authority requested and a description of the services 

proposed 

LGW operates scheduled air transportation on a wet lease basis on behalf of Air 

Berlin. On July 28, 2010, American Airlines and Air Berlin filed a related Joint 

Application for reciprocal code sharing in docket DOT-OST-201O-0192. Accordingly, 

LGW hereby requests the Department grant it the authority to display the American 

Airlines "AA" designator on the scheduled passenger flights it operates within Europe as 

a wet lessor of Air Berlin. 

Pursuant to the authority requested herein, LGW will transport American 

Airline's U.S. origin/destination passengers between points within Europe. LGW will 

neither sell seats in its own name for travel to or from the United States, nor operate 

aircraft to any U.S. point. In addition, American Airlines will not sell seats in its own 

name on LGW flights for passengers traveling on local intra-Europe itineraries. All of 

the proposed wet lease services will be conducted in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 257. 

3. Evidence of the applicant's homeland operating authority. 

A copy ofLGW's Air Operator Certificate awarded by the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt 

of Germany is attached hereto as Exhibit A. This certificate authorizes LGW to operate 

commercial air transportation including the services proposed in this application. LGW's 

Air Operator Certificate is valid through June 30, 2011 and is eligible for renewal 

thereafter. 

4. Name and address of the government air transport authority with 

regulatory jurisdiction over the applicant. 

LGW is subject to the jurisdiction of the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt located at: 

Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, 

Bundesrepublik Deutschland 

Hermann-Blenk-StraBe 26 

D- 38108 Braunschweig 

Germany 
LGW Application/or Exemptioll Authority and Statement 0/ AutllOrizatioll 

Page J 0/6 

5. Applicant's insurance coverage meets or exceeds the liability limits of 14 

CFR. Part 205. 

LGW's liability insurance, which is provided by Allianz Global Corporate & 

Specialty AG, exceeds the minimum requirements of 14 C.F.R. Part 205. LGW has 

executed a certificate of insurance (DOT Form 6411), as required by 14 C.F.R. Part 205, 

a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The original certificate is being filed 

concurrently with the FAA. 

6. Submission ofOST Form 4523 (Waiver of liability limits under the 

Warsaw Convention). 

LGW will provide the Department, under separate cover, three copies ofOST 

Form 4523 (in Docket OST-95-236) relating to the liability limitations of the Warsaw 

Convention pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 203. 

Attached as Exhibit C is a verification statement, signed by Bernd Walter, CEO 

for LGW, as required by 14 C.F.R. § 211.11. 

Approval of this application is fully consistent with the terms of the U.S.-EC 

Open Skies Agreement. Approval is also in the public interest because it would enable 

American Airlines to expand its network to include more flights to and from more city 

pairs beyond its European gateways, thereby making available more transportation 

options to American's customers. 

Based upon the information provided in this Application, issuance of exemption 

authority will not constitute a "major regulatory action" as provided for in the Energy 

Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 and 14 C.F.R. Part 313. The authority requested 

herein will provide reliable air transportation, expand the service options currently 

available, and increase competition, and therefore benefit the traveling public.

WHEREFORE, Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter mbH respectfully requests that it be 

granted exemption authority and a statement of authorization to engage in foreign air 

transportation of persons, property and mail as more fully described above.
