section 416(b) of the Federal

ORDER GRANTING EXEMPTION

By application filed March 10, 1972, Federal Express Corporation
* (Federal) seeks an exemption from section 401 of the Act and section
298.21(a) of the Board's Economic Regulations 1/ to the extent they
would otherwise prohibit it from using certain Fan Jet Falcon aircraft
that have a maximum gross take-off weight of 28,660 pounds.

In support of its application Federal alleges, inter alia, that it
is a registered air taxi operator; that it intends to commence planeload
charter operations using D model Fan Jet Falcon aircraft; that due to
engineering modifications D model Falcons have a gross take-off weight of
28,660 pounds; that no increase in capacity results from the modifications;
that seating capacity is nine seats plus one jump seat; and, that the
Board has granted similar exemptions in the past.

No objections to grant of this application have been filed.

1/ Section 298.21 limits the exemptions granted to air taxi operators
to air transportation conducted, inter alia, in planeload charter flights
in turbo-jet aircraft having a maximum certificated take-off weight of
over 12,500 pounds and under 27,000 pounds and a maximum passenger
capacity of not more than twelve persons.
