[^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), or vice versa.

[^4]: ^1^ Pursuant to Order 88-10-30, U.S. carriers
    certificated/designated under the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport
    Agreement are required to notify the Department if they fail to
    inaugurate service within the 90-day start-up period, or when
    discontinuing service on a U.S.-Mexico city pair for 90 days or
    longer. In Order 88-10-30, we stated that we would entertain
    requests for extensions/exemption from the 90-day start-up period
    for good cause shown. Such requests are noticed here so that other
    carriers may determine if they wish to file responses. Objections to
    the above request(s) should be addressed to: U.S. Department of
    Transportation, U.S. Air Carrier Licensing Division, X-44, 400
    Seventh Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20590, by the response date
    listed above.
