DEPARTMENT ACTION ON APPLICATION IN DOCKET DOT-OST-2015-0109 

filed May 22, 2015 

Application of AeroLogic GmbH (AeroLogic) for a blanket statement of authorization for an indefinite 

period under 14 CFR Part 212 to display the (PO*) designator code of Polar Air Cargo (Polar) on flights 

operated by Aero Logic for the purpose of transporting cargo and mail between Hong Kong and 

Cincinnati, Ohio, in either or both directions. 

The applicant also requests a waiver of the 45-day advance filing requirement under 14 CFR Part 212. 

*Approved under assigned authority (14 C.F.R. § 385.13) 

Date of Action: June 9, 2015 

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of this action under the Department's regulations, 

14 CFR § 385.30, should file their petitions within seven days of the date of this action. This action is effective 

immediately, and the filing of a petition for review will not alter its effectiveness. 

We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted at any time, without hearing, at our discretion. 

*The authority granted is subject to the attached conditions. 
The statement of authorization granted is subject to the following conditions: 

(a) The statement of authorization will remain in effect only as long as (i) AeroLogic and Polar continue to hold the 

necessary underlying authority to operate the code-share services at issue, and (ii) the code-share agreement providing 

for the code-share operations remains in effect. 

(b) AeroLogic and/or Polar must promptly notify the Department if the code-share agreement providing for the code-share 

operations is no longer effective or if the carriers decide to cease operating all or a portion of the approved code-share 

services. Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2015-01 09. 1 

(c) The code-sharing operations conducted under this authority must comply with 14 CFR §257 and with any amendment 

to the Department's regulations concerning codeshare arrangements that may be adopted. Notwithstanding any 

provisions in the contract between the carriers, our approval here is expressly conditioned upon the requirements that 

the subject foreign air transportation be sold in the name of the carrier holding out such service in computer reservation 

systems and elsewhere; that the carrier selling such transportation (i.e., the carrier shown on the waybill) accept 

responsibility for the entirety of the codeshare journey for all obligations established in its contract of carriage with the 

shipper; that the cargo liability of the operating carrier be unaffected; and that the operating carrier shall not permit the 

code of its U.S. code-sharing partner to be carried on any flight that enters, departs, or transits the airspace of any area 

for whose airspace the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a flight prohibition. 

(d) The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that neither AeroLogic nor Polar shall give any force or effect 

to any contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these conditions. 

(e) We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted at any time without hearing at our discretion. 

1 We expect this notification to be received within 10 days of such non-effectiveness or of such decision.
