Narrative History/Plan of Operations
APPLICANT’S BUSINESS
Applicant was organized for the purpose of establishing and operating an airline serving the United States and Africa.
With nearly four decade of experience in the African air transport market, and pioneering in the establishment of most of the significant air route structure and hub centers of the continent, the time is now ripe for the Applicant to consolidate and undertake the creation and operation of the finest United States Airline in the industry capable of being quoted as one of the best using new, different and innovative system of business undertaking..
Applicant plans to commence flight operations on June 15, 2004 with one leased aircraft, MD 11 from a certified USA carrier.
The initial plan of service involves a thrice-weekly frequency service on
A. The New York - Dakar (Senegal) - Accra (Ghana) - Lagos (Nigeria) and non-stop return service from Lagos (Nigeria) to New York.

C. The New York –Dakar (Senegal)-Accra (Ghana)-Lagos (Nigeria) and non-stop return service from Lagos (Nigeria) to New York.
General
Much of the air service that is presently available between USA and Africa is characterized by a combination of high fares and lengthy layovers at European airports with its associated problems such as visa, customs, change of terminal, airports and specific baggage handling requirements etc…unfit for a traveler half way on his/her long journey(s).
Applicant believes and knows first hand that these conditions have caused potential customers not to travel at all.
Applicant intends to offer airfares in these markets that are lower than the historic fares.
Applicant will have direct air services that will attract and tap the huge air transport market - unattended by US scheduled airlines.
Applicant believes that the methods of marketing via GSA’S with the necessary promotions on the grass root level in USA and Africa it will support the low fare strategy.
Specific
Included in the major air transport potential passenger market for Flight One Airline are the following:
▪ True origin and destination traffic from Anglo America to Africa
▪ True origin and destination traffic from Anglo America to Asia/Australia
▪ Origin and destination traffic from Anglo America via Africa to Europe
▪ Round the world traffic in the easterly direction
And
• True origin and destination traffic from Africa to Anglo America
• True origin and destination traffic from Asia/Australia to Anglo America

ADDENDUM II
BACKGROUND – THE BASIS
UNDER TITLE 49 OF THE United STATES code (“the statue”), anyone who wants to provide air transportation service as an air carrier must first obtain two separate authorizations from the Department of Transportation: “safety” in the form of an Air Carrier Certificate and operations Specifications from the Federal Aviation (FAA), and “economic” authority from the Office of the Secretary of Transportation (the Department) in the form of a certificate for interstate or foreign passenger and/or cargo authority issued under section 41102 of the statue.
*Notes.
This has been footnoted.
“There are certain exceptions to this rule. Section 40109 of the Statute allows the Department to grant exemptions from the certificate requirement where it finds that such exemptions are “consistent with the public interest.” Such exemptions may be granted to individual air carriers or to groups or classes of air carriers….”The award of a certificate for foreign authority must also be found to be consistent with the public convenience and necessity.”
Basic Background
The new world order is a reality.
Air transport communication is one of the major nerve systems that will have to meet the rapid evolution of this new world order.
The present state of affairs in which air transportation is being conducted on an economically self-sustaining basis has failed.
It will not survive unless new and different support economic management system of operation approaches is undertaken to tap the existing air transport market.
The tools for such undertakings are available.
Needed is the plan, determination and the will to use these tools to change and benefit the traveling public and the industry.
Support economy has now replaced the old system of capitalism into distributed capitalism in the present market place.
Therefore the air transport industry must be consumer driven, not product driven.
It is the lack of the understanding of this latent force that has driven the airlines into the present state of financial loss and service cutbacks.
Loss to the industry is also loss to the traveling public - the consumer.
The railroads thought they were in the railroad business.
They did not realize that they were in the transportation business until alternate modes of communication such as cars, trucks, airplanes and even telephones came to directly and indirectly compete with them.
If the railways had defined their business correctly, they might have developed some other alternate modes themselves.
Hollywood barely escaped being totally ravished by television.
Initially they scorned and rejected television instead of welcoming it as an opportunity and not a threat.
Hollywood embraced television in a timely fashion. –and Hollywood survived.
The airlines need to redefine their business correctly.
Airlines are no longer about aircraft. They are about marketing air transportation with the most economical tools available to make it worthwhile to travelers and the industry.
It is this simple fact that has convinced the Applicant to humbly request for an economic authority to operate its planned scheduled flights from the DOT of the United States Government.
We have defined our business correctly. “We are about marketing air transportation service and not aircraft”
Today we have a multitude of safe aircrafts, on which billions of dollars have been invested by the major airlines, ready for lease, purchase, etc…below market price to say the least.
This surplus has come as a result of not accepting the concept of support capitalism and the new ways of its system management in the line with the globalization of manpower, material and digital communication etc…meeting the needs of the traveling public.
Example
A load factor of 81.1% was needed for a break even for all major airlines on or about the period prior to February 23, 2003, while the actual load factor was only 73.8%.
For about the same period, United Airlines needed a 93.3% load factor to break even. It, however, posted a 74.5% load factor.
This is not a warning signal.
It is a simple goodbye and definite failure for the air transport industry. -Unless change to meet the customer needs and demands are met.
No amount of subsidy will revive it.
Our mission is:
• Be able to use the excess aircraft already on ground from the existing current certified US Air Carriers and putting them to use by opening new profitable routes using the modern communication set up systems.
• Open Africa’s potentially huge air transport market using New York as a hub.
• Acquire the necessary aircraft on a fully allocated wet lease basis from an existing current certified USA Air Carrier in good standing.
• Use a near paperless digitally managed system of operation that will be a model for United States Airlines -operating to/from Africa (where no scheduled US airline service exists.)
• Make Our Africa air system route network from New York, - A new and different way around the world by bridging the continents of Africa, Asia and Australia, thus avoiding the traditional air route system via Europe and the Middle East. The traveling public will have a choice.
We believe that we will change the way the world travels.
This air route is the missing link for USA traveling public. Connecting USA and Africa direct.
Its necessity, convenience and high priority of national importance/interest for USA can not be ignored.
Public Policy & Convenience and necessity in a Market
Void of US Flag Air Carrier service
Africa
Population is significant
Africa has a population of over 880 million. The community of interest between United States and Africa is vast.
It has the potential to develop a quantity and quality air transport market that will justify for more than twice daily services from/to USA in order to meet the needs and requirements of the continent’s economic lifestyle.
At present air transport major passenger traffic flow between the United States and Africa is via a third continent –Europe. The air transport market is shared by foreign European, Asian and Australian airlines.
Passengers traveling between United States and Africa have and are continuing to face problems such as visa/ immigration, custom, health requirement, security formalities on irregular and duplicate modes/forms to meet the requirement of different Governments, their operating foreign air carriers with its purported transit rules.
Cause for necessity of direct air transport by a United States air carrier also includes the following as a public convenience and necessity.
• Strategically, United States needs direct air service to Africa on a true origin/destination environment.
• United States needs an alternate route between USA and Asia/Australia via Africa.
• USA needs an alternate round-the-world route network system via Africa, supplementing the traditional Pacific and the Europe/Middle East route system.
Reasons for this as an example of history includes:
• There has been non-stop turmoil in Europe and the Middle East for the past many decades and the past thousand of years.
(Continuous public uprising, wars, threats of war, terrorism, threats of terrorism is far too many to tolerate).
• USA and Africa are divided by the Atlantic Ocean with no direct air transport. This is also a problem. This problem if solved will in part (if not in whole) solve the problem of the above. Some one must start somewhere irrespective of the numerous hurdles wherever they may be.
There is no better air route that needs to be established other than our proposed via Africa airline operation that is of public necessity and convenience in its true term.
Resources of Africa
OIL
USA must have a back-up of oil supply quite separate and different from its present day Middle East sources.
The African continent is slowly opening up an alternate source of energy supply capable of developing huge storage facilities that could be utilized in time of emergencies.
This development will help the flow of technology resources and other business development between United States and Africa.
Africa is rich in a variety of minerals that are capable of development for the industries of the United States.
It’s in the public interest and convenience to have a direct air transport scheduled services in place with utmost emergency to accommodate the growing development in this area. Delay is risking too much every minute.
Tourism
Tourism is a growing economic force and factor in the African Continent.
Today we have three major centers that could develop substantially to warrant a new air transport system network service between United States and Africa.
These are:
• The West Africa tourism region
• The East-Central Africa tourism region
• The South Africa tourism region
The East-Central and South Africa tourism undertakings are developed. They serve their traditional European clients. Some destinations have some three daily flight frequencies to/from Europe.
The West Africa tourism undertakings have the potential for development along with East-Central, and South Africa regions.
West Africa has no scheduled air service from United States, - despite its very strong ethnic link with the US.
This is an urgent public necessity and convenience.
Business
Business between the United States and Africa has potential in all fields of technological and commercial endeavors.
Agriculture, public health, education, industries…and transportation are at the forefront of development.
USA should partner in such activities in order to promote and increase its potential economic share and influence.
The entry of other nations/entrepreneurs ahead of USA will make it harder for US business in the future.
The establishment of direct air transport service is a modest beginning that should not be delayed.
Culture
A variety of music, art, architecture, literature, customs, traditions are in abundance in Africa.
Closer ties are a necessity for an exchange to take place.
There is nothing better that brings people together in the 21st century than the establishment of direct air service.
USA and Africa must unite. It is urgent and a public necessity.
Safety & Security
In the ever shrinking world of ours, we have terrorists to fight.
Africa should not be left alone to become the breeding or refuge center for terrorists.
The establishment of direct air transport services will enhance education, information and above all public relations that has no bounds when people of two continents meet.
Such can not be accomplished via the air transport service of a third continent.
In this endeavor we need the services of a US flag air carrier for public convenience and necessity to Africa. We can not afford to wait.
EXHIBIT V
ADDENDUM III
Summary and Conclusion
Many nationalities whose origins are of and from Africa -past and present, -did not receive the appropriate continued privilege of direct scheduled air transport from/to continental United States of America by a U.S. airline flag carrier to/from Africa.
Request and pressure for such air transport service from ethnic, business, cultural, religious, educational etc…groups, International Organizations, Governments, Tourists and Individuals etc… need to be addressed.
Flight One Airline USA with its skilled and experienced staff is now responding to the call for the scheduled air services with practical and viable working proposal that has minimal start up financial burden.
In line with the US Department of Transport’s vision and strategy that:
• ‘Transportation is key to generating and enabling economic growth, determining the patterns of that growth, and determining the competitiveness of our business in the world economy…’ according to the Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta.
• Safer, Simpler and Smarter Transportation Solutions are required to achieve safety, mobility, global connectivity, environmental stewardship and security…
• Keeping transportation system on the leading edge of technology will deliver safe and secure transports all citizens and delivers a wide range of goods throughout USA and around the world…
• In times of war, transportation system also moves troops and carries defense cargo efficiently for USA…
• United States Department of Transport will, with its team, - will be the architects of the future, to redefine the core mission in light of future transportation challenges …
• This mission is valid today and will be valid well into the future, even with global economy where anything can be made anywhere and sold everywhere else around the world.
• Competitive international trade depends on transportation…
• Uses of Information Technology ensures that a person or good being moved arrives at the right place at the right time…in addition to improvements in logistics systems such as navigation equipment, air traffic control systems, and tracking systems for efficiency and safety of transportation on which the nations economic growth and prosperity are dependent upon…
• Information technology will propel safer and more efficient domestic and international transportation to Americans.
• Global connectivity in transportation within and among Nations are lifeline -to the future, to freer trade and accelerated economic growth, to greater cultural exchange and to the expansion of democracy around the world…
• In the future, America will need a fully integrated domestic transportation system as well as safe and efficient connection to the rest of the world…
• That government should be citizen centered, result oriented, market based, and promoting innovation through competition.
• To Balance homeland and national security transportation requirements with the mobility needs of the nation and personal travel and commerce
• The changing regulatory climate appears to be shifting toward minimizing national regulations, reducing international barriers to trade and harmonizing international transportation regulations, and developing standards of facilitation.
……Flight One Airline USA obliges.
……Flight One Airline USA requests for the initiation of a thrice weekly service to points in West Africa using a leased aircraft, on a fully allocated block hour basis details of which are explained in the application submitted.
…..Flight One Airline USA will conduct its business with real time digital communication set up as outlined in the application.
….initial capital outlay will be the unnecessary element to start the services of Flight One Airline USA as explained and depicted in the Application.
….grass root marketing and support economy system of management will be used to circumvent the past historical economic ills that have downed today’s air transport industry.
This market supported new, different and revolutionary airline operating concept will halt the past ineffective economic practices that has not benefited the airlines, the aircraft manufacturers, the traveling public or the government of the United States.
Flight One Airline USA should be granted the appropriate certification (certificate of Public Convenience and necessity authorizing foreign scheduled air transportation of persons, property and mail pursuant to Section 41102 of Title 49 of the United States Code –the “Statue”), to carry it planned scheduled operation.
A new era of airline prosperity will be demonstrated using Africa’s economic, social and political hub centers to complement the already existing system worldwide air service networks of US flag air carriers and the use of some of their excess aircraft parked due to unfortunate economic circumstances.
Many of the skilled laid-off airline personnel will have the opportunity to be re-employed as a result.
