seasonal service in the Salt Lake City-Mazatlan market until Skywest
Airlines (Skywest), obtains its authority from the Mexican Government
(Skywest already holds exemption authority from the Department to serve
this route (see Notice of Action Taken dated September 1, 2006, in

[^1]: ^1^ Pursuant to Order 88-10-30, U.S. carriers certificated under
    the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement are required to notify the
    Department when discontinuing service on a U.S.-Mexico city pair for
    90 days or longer. We have directed carriers to file such notices as
    soon as the decision not to inaugurate service or to discontinue
    service (other than seasonally) is made, but in no case later than
    the 91st day of dormancy.

[^2]: ^1^ Pursuant to Order 96-11-24, U.S. carriers certificated for
    all-cargo services under the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement are
    required to identify seasonal/intermittent services.

[^3]: ^1^ Pursuant to Order 99-6-6, U.S. carriers are required to file
    notice with the Department for approval to convert authorized
    nonstop transborder code-share operations from direct carrier
    service (designation), to service involving only the displaying of
    its code on another Mexican or U.S. carrier's flights (code-share
    only authorization).
