Summary

You must apply in writing to the Secretary of Transportation to get a permit for foreign air transportation. The Secretary will make rules about the application. The rules will say you must confirm the application is true, use a required form and include required details, give copies to people who have an interest, and show proof you gave those people copies. When an application is filed, the Secretary must post a notice in the Secretary’s office and tell others as the rules require. Interested people can file a response to support or oppose the permit, and the Secretary must decide as quickly as possible. The Secretary may also set conditions on the permit that are needed in the public interest.
