Charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between any point or points in Mexico and any point or points in the United States; and from a point or points in Mexico, via an intermediate point or points, to any point or points in the United States, and beyond.
VivaAerobus’ current foreign air carrier permit was issued in Docket OST-2011-0148 on October 16, 2012, by Order 2012-10-19, and authorizes it to conduct,: 1) scheduled combination services in a number of Mexico-US markets; 2) Mexico-US charter operations; and 3) other charters pursuant to 14 CFR Part 212. See also Docket OST-2014-0160, where the applicant had previously filed a separate request for an amended foreign air carrier permit that remains pending. That request is subsumed by the exemption and permit authority that has been requested in the instant Docket. We also note that vivaAerobus has pending in Docket OST-2014-0134 an application dated August 4, 2015, for renewal of its Houston-Cancun exemption authority. In light of our present action granting the applicant broad Mexico-US exemption authority, we are dismissing its August 4, 2015, application as moot.

Ex-Parte Letter to Virgin Islands Financial Secretary
OST-2014-0149 - Commuter Authority - Miami/Key West-Naples
Re: Withdrawing Application for Commuter Air Carrier
Please be advised Exec Air Inc. of Naples Is withdrawing its application for Commuter air Carrier at this time due too the following reasons:
The FAA’s in ability to proceed in a timely manner due to shortage of qualified inspectors to complete reviews in a timely manner.
Exec Air is not able to demonstrate to the satisfaction to the DOT why the FAA has not issued new operational specifications for commuter air carrier despite having had in the past 12 month’s no less than four different inspectors reassigned as principle inspector to Exec Air for oversite of the Certificate, with a huge delay that nothing could be accomplished as each inspector already had a heavy case load and placed our application and manuals to the end of the list each time. Thus running the DOT time clock out.
Exec Air will reserve the right to re-apply for the Commuter economic authority at a later date once we have completed all required items of the FAA as the DOT seems to be a set to a one year clock by regulation that the FAA MIAMI FSDO-19 office does not have the staffing to complete and as an operator I have no control over.

Notice of Intent to Resume Certificated Air Carrier Operations
Orange Air notifies the Department of its intent to resume certificated air carrier operations and submits updated fitness information as contemplated by sections 201.4 and 204.3 in the Exhibits and Confidential Exhibits attached to this application. Orange Air proposes to resume operations as expeditiously as possible, perhaps within weeks, as part of its restructuring.
Orange Air holds certificates authorizing interstate and foreign charter air transportation of persons, property and mail issued by Order 2014-7-19. After ceasing revenue operations in 2016, the principals of Orange Air have been considering how to restructure the company’s finances to resume operations. Discussions with the owner of US. charter air carrier World Atlantic Airlines, Tomas Romero, have led Mr. Romero to sup port the restructuring with interim financing while considering the acquisition of or other transaction with Orange Air. The immediate plan to resume operations involves the same air craft type under new leases, and there has been no change to date in ownership or key personnel. The original principals continue to back the airline by committing personal assets for Orange Air to meet the financial fitness test.

OST-2017-0030 - Exemption and Amended Foreign Air Carrier Permit - Jakarta-Los Angeles via Tokyo (Narita)
Reply of Garuda to Answer of Kalitta Air
Kalitta’s concerns do not reflect the current reality that if Kalitta or any US cargo carrier applied for a similar fourth freedom cargo charter today, the Indonesian DGCA would look favorably on such application pursuant to the terms of the ATA. Garuda is not aware of any application for fourth freedom cargo charters by a US cargo carrier since Kalitta’s 2010 application - a far cry from Kalitta’s attempt to argue a lack of comity and reciprocity exists today.
Furthermore, Kalitta’s “apples and oranges” arguments are hardly relevant here: Kalitta made its application almost seven year ago and requested authority to operate a cargo charter flight. Garuda intends to operate scheduled passenger flights between Indonesia and the US. The service propose by Garuda will be the first direct single plane scheduled service between the two countries in over a decade, benefitting thousands of passengers, shippers and airline industry jobs in both countries and will therefore serve the public interest.
The Indonesian DGCA strongly supports Garuda’s application to operate to the US. Should the Department be inclined to give any weight to Kalitta’s objections, we strongly urge that any issues be resolved on a government to government basis - and not through the Department’s licensing dockets.
