Re: Indefinite Renewal of Blanket Route Integration Authority for 

Republic Airline Inc., Shuttle America Corporation, and Chautauqua Airlines, 

Inc. (Docket DOT-OST-2005-22228) 

Dear Mr. Gretch: 

Pursuant to the Department's August 27, 2010 Notice, Republic Airline Inc. 

("Republic"), Shuttle America Corporation ("Shuttle America"), and Chautauqua 

Airlines, Inc. ("Chautauqua") respectfully request that the Department renew their 

respective Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity for blanket route integration 

for an indefinite duration. 

Under its regulatory streamlining initiative, the Department awarded blanket route 

integration certificate authority to Republic, Shuttle America, and Chautauqua, as well as 

several other carriers, in DOT Order 2008-5-4. By its terms, that certificate authority is 

not due to expire until May 5, 2013, but the Department nonetheless indicated in its 

August 27 Notice its willingness to consider renewing these certificates at this time for an 

indefinite duration. 

Blanket route integration authority is helpful to carriers with international 

operations. Renewal of these certificate authorities will inure to the benefit of the 

traveling public, is in the public interest, and is fully consistent with the Department's 

regulatory streamlining policies.

Renewal of Republic Airline Inc., Shuttle America Corporation, and Chautauqua Airlines 

Page 2 

This request for renewal is timely filed pursuant to the August 27 Notice. It is 

also timely filed under 14 C.F.R. Part 377, and therefore Republic, Shuttle America, and 

Chautauqua invoke the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure 

Act, 5 U.S.C. § 558(c), as implemented by Part 377. 

Republic, Shuttle America, and Chautauqua respectfully request that the 

Department renew their respective Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity for 

blanket route integration for an indefinite duration.
