Application of

    IMPERIAL AIRLINES, INC.
                                                      Docket 39936
for an exemption pursuant to
Section 416(b) of the Federal Aviation
Act of 1958


                          ORDER GRANTING EXEMPTION

     By application filed August 18, 1981, Imperial Airlines, Inc. (Imperial)
requests an exemption from section 403 of the Federal Aviation Act and
Parts 221 and 223 of the Economic Regulations to the extent necessary to
permit it to provide free air transportation to air traffic control personnel
between points in the United States.

     In support of its application, Imperial states that the exemption
is necessary in order to provide free air transportation to air traffic
control personnel who are required to travel to and between various airports
in the performance of their duties.

     We find that the reason given by Imperial supporting this request is
consistent with the criteria we have previously found necessary to approve
this type of exemption, the exemption is consistent with the public interest,
and therefore we will approve the exemption.  1/ We will also extend this
exemption to all other U.S. air carriers to enable them to provide free air
transportation to air traffic control personnel.

     ACCORDINGLY, acting under authority delegated by the Board in the Board's
Regulations, 14 CFR 385.16,

     1. We exempt all U.S. air carriers from the provisions of section 403
of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, and Parts 221 and 223 of the Board's
Economic Regulations, insofar as the enforcement of section 403 and Parts 221
and 223 would prevent them from providing the free transportation as described
herein;

     2. The exemption permitted by this order shall expire upon further order
of the Board; and

     3. We will serve a copy of this order on Imperial Airlines, Inc.; all
other U.S. air carriers; the Department of Transportation; the Federal Emergency


1/ Imperial was orally notified of our approval on August 28, 1981.
