World and Aer Lingus have recently extended their agreement pursuant to which World will continue providing w et-lease services to Aer Lingus for roundtrip scheduled combination services between points in the U.S., points in Ireland, and Belfast. Aer Lingus has offered roundtrip New York-Shannon services continuing to Belfast under its wet-lease agreement with World, and it plans to continue offering such services using its own aircraft as well as World's aircraft. Although Aer Lingus does not believe additional U.S. authority should be required for its behind-homeland Belfast services, particularly since the U.S.-Ireland agreement has no provision requiring flights to originate or terminate in a carrier's homeland, the Department has granted Aer Lingus an exemption permitting it to offer such service, and Aer Lingus asks the Department to renew that authority if necessary to permit Aer Lingus to continue providing such service.
