 industry is heavily regulated by the U. S. government.
Two of the primary regulatory authorities overseeing air transportation in the United States are the DOT and the FAA. The DOT has jurisdiction
over economic issues affecting air transportation, including but not limited to unfair or deceptive practices, unfair methods of competition,
advertising and other consumer protection matters, baggage liability and air travel by persons with disabilities. The DOT has authority
to issue permits and other authorizations required for international airlines to provide air transportation to and from the United States.
We hold foreign air carrier permits issued by the DOT that authorize us to engage in scheduled and charter air transportation of passengers,
property and mail to and from the United States, consistent with the scope of traffic rights provided for under the air transport agreements
in place between the United States and each of the Governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.

The FAA is responsible for regulating and overseeing matters
relating to air carrier flight operations and safety, including airline operating certificates, aircraft certification and maintenance
and other matters affecting air safety. The FAA requires each non-U. S. commercial airline to obtain and hold FAA operations specifications
and to conduct their operations in accordance with Parts 91 and 129 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Operations specifications authorize
holders to operate at specific U. S. airports using procedures and aircraft approved by the FAA.

As of the date of this annual report, we had FAA airworthiness
certificates for 45 of our aircraft (the remainder being registered with the AFAC in Mexico), we had obtained the necessary FAA authority
to fly to all the cities we currently serve, and all our aircraft had been certified for over-water operations. Pilots operating and mechanics
providing maintenance services on “ N” or U. S.-registered aircraft require a special license issued by the FAA. We hold all
necessary operating and airworthiness authorizations, certificates and licenses and operate in compliance with applicable DOT and FAA
regulations.

We are also subject to the regulation of the aviation authorities
in the Central and South American countries in which we currently operate. We hold all necessary operating authorizations, certificates
and licenses and are operating in compliance with applicable regulations in such Central and South American countries.

International Regulation

Our service to and from the United States is also subject
to various air commerce and immigration laws and regulations, which are administered at U. S. airports by CBP, a law enforcement agency
that is part of the DHS, and the requirements of equivalent governmental agencies in other countries
