APPLICATION OF EASTERN AIR LINES GROUP, INC.

FOR A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41102, parts 201 and 204 of the Department’s

Economic Regulations, subpart B of the Department’s Procedural

Regulations, and the Department’s Streamlining Initiative in Docket OST-

2005-22228, Eastern Air Lines Group, Inc. (“Eastern”) respectfully applies for

a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing Eastern to

engage in interstate charter air transportation of persons, property, and mail.

Simultaneously with this Application, Eastern has applied for a certificate

authorizing it to engage in foreign charter air transportation of persons,

property and mail. Eastern requests that the Department process this

application expeditiously using written submissions and simplified, non-

hearing procedures as contemplated by sections 302.15 and 302.207 of the

Procedural Regulations. In support of its application, Eastern provides the

information required by 14 C.F.R. §§ 201.4 and 204.3 in the Exhibits and

Confidential Exhibits attached to this application and states as follows:

1. A group of highly experienced aviation executives with substantial

airline experience have developed Eastern’s business and financing plan.

Led by Edward J. Wegel, a veteran airline executive with over 28 years of

experience, this group intends to begin charter airline operations with a

single, leased Airbus A320 aircraft, using Eastern trademarks acquired from

the Eastern Air Lines estate (“Legacy Eastern”) pursuant to an asset

purchase and sale agreement. Eastern will utilize this aircraft for public and

private charterers in domestic and foreign markets and increase its fleet to

three such aircraft by the end of its first full year of operations.

2. A private placement of Eastern’s voting common stock will be

utilized to raise a minimum of $9 million and a maximum of $14 million (plus

an additional $1.4 million to cover over-allotments) to support Eastern’s

certification and commencement of charter service. When this process is

completed in the next few months, assuming the sale of $14 million of voting

common stock in the private placement, new, private investors will hold just

under 40% of Eastern’s voting common stock, founding investors will hold

just over 40%, and Eastern management and investment bankers will hold

up to 20%, either in stock, options, or warrants. Upon completion of the

private placement, Eastern will have only one class of outstanding common

stock. That class of common stock will have full voting rights. The

development of Eastern to this point has been funded and managed by U.S.

citizens, and Eastern will rely on customary voting stock restrictions to

ensure that it remains a U.S. citizen as the new, private investment takes

place.

3. Senior Eastern management has the necessary business expertise

and technical ability to offer and manage the proposed passenger

transportation while complying effectively with relevant transportation laws.

The current President and Chief Executive Officer, Edward J. Wegel, and

additional management, including Eastern’s Chief Operating Officer, Chief

Financial Officer and Chief Technical Officer (who will assume their positions

upon the initial closing of the private placement), are all U.S. citizens and

bring extraordinary operational expertise and experience to the airline. They

will be complemented by a Board of Directors that includes Mr. Wegel and

two individuals with many years of experience in C-level positions and in

financing and business planning.

4. Under 49 U.S.C. § 41102(b)(1), the Department may issue interstate

authority if the applicant is a U.S. citizen and meets the Department’s fitness

requirements. Eastern’s plan for financing and staffing the airline will satisfy

these criteria. Further, granting the requested certificate authority is in the

Founded in 2006, 1848 Capital Partners is a Miami-based private equity firm

focused on the acquisition and growth of middle market companies. Since its

inception, the company and affiliated investors have invested over $250

million of equity capital into, and on behalf of, its portfolio of companies.

Currently, 1848 Capital Partners has five active portfolio companies

including Jet Support Services, Inc., the world's largest independent provider

of hourly cost maintenance programs for aircraft engines and airframes. Its

three members co-founded 1848, and two of those members each hold a 50%

voting and economic interest as it relates to the Eastern investment: 1

Joseph DaGrosa, Jr.

David Neithardt

Mr. Neithardt holds engineering and MBA degrees from Stanford and

Dartmouth, respectively, and has had a 23-year career in corporate finance.

Prior to co-founding 1848 Capital Partners, he served as interim Chief

(g) Relevant corporations; persons having a substantial interest in the

applicant.

As noted in the opening narrative, Eastern will circulate a Private Placement

Memorandum, attached as Confidential Exhibit B, to raise a minimum of $9

million and a maximum of $14 million (plus an additional $1.4 million to

cover over-allotments) from accredited, private investors in return for a total

of approximately 40% of Eastern’s voting common stock (assuming $14

million is raised). Eastern’s only outstanding class of stock is voting, common

stock. While the offering period is scheduled to end March 31, 2014 (unless

extended by Eastern in its sole discretion to June 2, 2014), Eastern can end

the offering earlier if the offering has been fully subscribed.

Given the pendency of the private placement, Eastern will here describe the

ownership structure intended to be in place when that investment closes. It

will supplement this application with updated ownership information at that

time.

At closing, assuming $14 million is raised, the largest single block of Eastern

voting stock, estimated at 29.7%, will be held by 1848 Skyworks, LLC, an

affiliate of and managed by 1848 Capital Partners. Another founding

investor, Aviation Capital Partners Group, LLC (“ACPG”), will hold

approximately 12.5%, Ed Wegel will hold 10%, and Admiral Owens will hold

2%. 1848 Skyworks and ACPG have provided Eastern’s initial funding and

support.2 While new, accredited, private investors will together hold

approximately 36.4% of the voting stock, Eastern does not currently know

whether any new investor will hold a substantial interest, i.e., 10% or more of

Eastern’s outstanding voting stock. The remaining Eastern stock, less than

10%, will be made available to Eastern managers and financiers as warrants

or options.

2/ That support includes the ACPG purchase of the intellectual property rights

of Legacy Eastern, including all rights to the “Eastern” name, trademarks

and related marketing phrases, from Legacy Eastern’s estate. ACPG has in

turn transferred and assigned to Eastern these rights and other assets. 1848

Skyworks LLC has expended funds for the general development costs related

to the launch of the business, as well as the development of strategic plans,

route analyses, and operating manuals, and for marketing surveys and other

materials. 1848 Skyworks LLC has transferred and assigned these assets to

Eastern.

Eastern

Certificate Application

Exhibit 1

Page 6

At the time of the closing, 1848 Skyworks LLC and ACPG will be managed by

1848 Capital Partners and Edward Wegel, respectively. 1848 Skyworks LLC

is owned by two companies managed by 1848 Capital Partners: 1848

Aviation Partners, LLC (86.5% of 1848 Skyworks LLC) and 1848 Blueco, LLC

(13.5% of 1848 Skyworks LLC). Seventy percent of 1848 Aviation Partners

LLC is owned by 1848 Capital Partners, the managing member, and the

balance is held by two employees of 1848 Capital Partners and an individual

consultant to 1848 Capital Partners; all three individuals are U.S. citizens.

The other investor in 1848 Skyworks LLC, 1848 Blueco LLC, has 1848

Capital Partners as its managing member and is ultimately held by a group

of 33 individual investors, only two of whom individually own more than 10%

of the interests in 1848 Blueco LLC.3

(h,i) Subsidiaries; ownership and control of other carriers or

aeronautical enterprises.

Eastern has no subsidiaries and holds no interest in any other air carrier,

foreign air carrier, common carrier, or person substantially engaged in the

business of aeronautics.

(j,k) Financial statements.

As noted above, 1848 Skyworks LLC and ACPG have funded Eastern’s initial

development activities. Eastern will submit updated financial statements to

the Department during Eastern’s financing and certification process.

Eastern’s opening balance sheet, assuming the completion of the $14 million

raise, is attached as Exhibit 5.

3/ All of the limited liability companies listed are structured in the same

manner as corporations, with investors holding interests equivalent to

shareholdings. ACPG, 1848 Capital Partners, 1848 Skyworks LLC, and

Pitcairn Aviation LLC are Delaware LLCs. 1848 Aviation Partners LLC and

1848 Blueco LLC are Florida LLCs.

(n) Fleet information.

Airbus A320 aircraft and increase its fleet to three such aircraft within the

first year. Such aircraft are readily available for lease, and Eastern has

received proposals for delivery as early as summer 2014 in accordance with

its certification timeline. Eastern will submit a copy of the safety affidavit

required by 14 C.F.R. § 204.5(n)(3) when it submits final documentation for

an effective Department certificate.

Eastern intends to rely on certificated, third-party maintenance and repair

organizations for maintenance. The Chief Technical Officer will oversee all

contracts for aircraft maintenance.

(o) Pending investigations, actions, or formal complaints filed by DOT

or the FAA regarding compliance with Federal aviation laws or

orders, rules, regulations, or requirements under those laws.

(p) Other charges.

To Eastern's knowledge, neither Eastern, 1848 Capital Partners, the latter’s

(q) Aircraft accidents or incidents.

To Eastern's knowledge, neither Eastern, 1848 Capital Partners, the latter’s

owners, nor the other key personnel identified herein have experienced

aircraft accidents or incidents that occurred in the preceding year or that

remain under investigation by the FAA or the NTSB.

(r) Brief narrative history of the applicant.

To date, Eastern has not conducted any business, other than the development

efforts described in this application, and is focusing on its certification as a

charter air carrier.

(s) Federal, State, and foreign transportation authority.

Eastern has submitted the required Pre Application Statement of Intent to

the South Florida Certificate Management Office ("CMO") and has

held an initial informal meeting with the CMO. Eastern is awaiting word on

the allocation of resources to its certification.

(t) Operating projections and a description of the service to be

operated.

Eastern proposes to begin passenger charter operations with a single, leased,

Airbus A320 aircraft. It will offer this aircraft for public and private charters

in domestic and foreign markets.

Exhibit 6 includes forecast pre-operating expenses, forecast first-year

expenses, and basic operating statistics for the proposed passenger charter

operation, as well as forecast balance sheets for the first full year of

operations. Projected revenue and a summary of the forecast are provided as

Confidential Exhibit C. These exhibits were prepared under the direction of

Mr. Wegel.

Eastern anticipates that it will offer most charters as "ACMI" contracts,

under which charterers will be directly responsible for fuel costs.4/ To

4/ Where, as here, a party other than the carrier is contractually responsible for

certain operating expenses, the Department does not include those expenses

Eastern

Certificate Application

Exhibit 1

Page 9

summarize its forecast, Eastern anticipates that its start-up costs related to

passenger charter operations will be approximately $7 million and that in its

first full year of operations, operating expenses will total approximately $19

million.

The capital required for Eastern to complete certification, to conduct its

initial services, and to meet the Department's financial fitness requirement --

totaling approximately $12 million -- will be provided through the private

placement.

Eastern does not anticipate that its first full year of operations will result in

a near-term net annual change in aircraft fuel consumption of 10 million

gallons or more, and it has determined that adequate fuel is available for this

service. To the extent the Department nonetheless concludes that grant of the

requested authority would constitute a major regulatory action, Eastern

requests that the Department waive the requirement that an Energy

Statement under 14 C.F.R. Part 313 be prepared.

(u) Montreal Agreement (relating to liability); family assistance and

passenger manifest plans.

Eastern will file the required counterpart of the Montreal Agreement in

Docket OST-1995-236, a family assistance plan in Docket OST-1996-1960,

and a passenger manifest plan pursuant to Docket OST-1998-3305.

(v) Certification.
