- 2405 Responsive pleadings: None. DISPOSITION Action: Approved Action date: April 6 , 2011 Effective dates of authority granted: April 6 , 2011 , through April 6 , 2013
. Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity): United States

- Mexico Air Transport Services Agreement (“the Agreement”). Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitat ions of our standard exemption conditions (attached). Special conditions/Remarks: In the conduct of these operations, the carrier s must adhere to all applicable provisions of the Agreement and may only use aircraft capable of carrying no more than 60 passengers and having a maximum payload capacity of no more than 18,000 pounds (small equipment). The above grant includes authority to operate Third and Fourth Freedom charters. While we have subjected, consistent with the provisions of the Agreement, M exican carriers conducting charter operations with large aircraft to prior approval or submission of notice for their Third and Fourth Freedom charters, we determined that any such requirement was not necessary on public interest grounds in the case of th e se carrier s , since the carrier s will be conducting these operations solely with small aircraft. 1 (Other charter operations to/from the United States under this authority, however, are subject to prior approval under 14 CFR Part 212.) Further, we are cont inuing to allow Mexican carriers conducting passenger charters using small equipment to make stopovers in the United States in the conduct of such operations. Action taken by: Paul L. Gretch, Director, Office of International Aviation

________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent w ith Department policy; (2) the applicant s were qualified to perform their proposed operations; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major regulatory action under the Energy Poli cy and Conservation Act of 1975. To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in the referenced Docket s . We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion. Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date of issuance of this Notice. This action was effec tive when taken, and the f iling of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
