handle is hein.usfed/dotod0615 and id is 1 raw text is: 3 Order 78-2-1 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD WASHINGTON, D. C. Issued under delegated authority February 1, 1978 Application of SIS-Q FLYING SERVICE, INC. Docket 31743 for an exemption pursuant to section 416(b) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended ORDER DENYING EXEMPTION By application filed November 23, 1977, Sis-Q Flying Service, Inc. (Sis-Q), requests an exemption from section 401 of the Act in order to engage in cargo charter operations between Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the duration of the Longshoremen's strike affecting East Coast ports and for a period of sixty days after the end of that strike. In support of its request Sis-Q alleges, among other things, that the Longshoremen's strike has created a severe traffic problem between Puerto Rico and the United States; that shippers and air freight forwarders have developed large backlogs of freight awaiting transport; and that arrangements. have been made with an air freight forwarder to make available adequate air cargo capacity to meet that forwarder's needs. On December 1, Rich International Airways (Rich) filed an objection to Sis-Q's application. Rich states that it is prepared to handle those flights which Sis-Q's customer, Novo Airfreight, can identify by date of operation, subject to aircraft availability. In fact, Rich had already committed its DC-6 aircraft to Novo on December 5 and 6. Novo also indicated to Rich that it required additional capacity but was unable at that time to propose specific dates of operation. 1/ 1/ Novo later informed Rich that it needed capacity on December 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. As previously stated, Rich and Novo contracted for flights on the 5th and 6th, but Rich had no aircraft available on the other dates. Therefore, in an amendment to its objection, filed on December 2, Rich stated that it would not object to Sis-Q's operating flights for Novo on December 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9.
