FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109(c), Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 

("Aeromexico") respectfully requests renewal of its exemption authority to 

engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail, 

pursuant to a code-share arrangement with Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta) and 

SkyWest Airlines, Inc. (SkyWest) in the following seventeen U.S.-Mexico 

markets as granted by the Notice of Action Taken issued May 12, 2014 in the 

above-captioned docket:

Atlanta-Cozumel Orlando-Cancun Salt Lake City-Mexico City

Cincinnati-Cancun Salt Lake City-Cancun Memphis-Mexico City

Renewal Application

the automatic extension provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 558(c) and Part 377 of the 

Department's Special Regulations. In support of this application, Aeromexico 

states as follows: 

1. Aeromexico is a flag carrier of the United Mexican States and 

currently holds a permit, Order 91-5-25, and various exemptions which 

authorize service between Mexico and numerous U.S. points. Pursuant to 

this authority, Aeromexico provides extensive transborder service.

2. By this application, Aeromexico seeks renewal of its code-share 

exemption authority to serve the markets listed above. Exemption authority 

for these markets is scheduled to expire on May 12, 2015. As to each market, 

Aeromexico either is offering nonstop, code-share service or wishes to 

maintain authority so that it can resume such service should conditions 

warrant. Aeromexico’s services in Mexico-U.S. markets provide significant 

benefits to the traveling public. Consequently, Aeromexico seeks to renew 

the authority to serve all of these markets for an additional year.

3. Renewal of the exemption authority is consistent with the Air 

Transport Agreement, as amended in 1999 and 2005, between the United 

Mexican States and the United States and with Department code-sharing 

policies set forth in Order 99-6-6. Aeromexico continues to hold authority 

from the DGAC to serve these transborder routes. Thus, the requested
