**APPLICATION OF AMERICAN EAGLE AIRLINES, INC. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION (DALLAS/FT. WORTH-GUADALAJARA)** 

American Eagle Airlines, Inc., under 49 USC 40l09 and l4 CFR Part 377, hereby applies for renewal of its exemption authority, most recently renewed by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on April 17, 2009, authorizing scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Dallas/Ft. Worth and Guadalajara, Mexico. In filing this application, American Eagle invokes the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 USC 558(c), as implemented by l4 CFR Part 377. The current exemption would expire on April 17, 2011 absent this renewal application, which is timely under l4 CFR 377.l0(c)since it is filed more than 60 days in advance of the expiration date.- 2 -

American Eagle operates daily nonstop service between Dallas/Ft. Worth and Guadalajara using 50-seat CRJ aircraft. This service is an "activity of a continuing nature" under 5
USC 558(c). Grant of this renewal application is consistent with the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement, as amended, and with the public interest. In response to the Department’s Notice of August 23, 2005 on streamlining regulatory procedures (DOT-OST-2005- 22228), American Eagle has requested corresponding certificate authority for the Dallas/Ft. Worth-Guadalajara route. See application filed on August 26, 2005 in DOT-OST-2005-22261. We urge expedited approval of that application to avoid the need for successive renewals in exemption dockets. Respectfully submitted,
