Aeromexico requests that exemption authority for these markets be renewed

for a n additional, one

Renewal Application

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

currently holds a permit, Order 91

- 5

- 25, and various exemp tions which

author ize 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 exemption

authority to serve the markets listed above. Exemption authority for these

markets is scheduled to expire on May 30 , 2014 . As to each m arket

,

Aeromexico either is serving the market with nonstop flights or wishes to

maintain authority so that it can resume nonstop service should conditions

warrant. Aeromexico’s services in Mexico

- U.S. markets provide significant

b enefits to the traveling public . Consequently, Aeromexico seeks to renew

th e authority to serve all of these markets for an additi onal year.

3. Annex 1 to the 1960 Air Transport Agreement, as amended, between

the United Mexican States and the United States provides that a carrier

designated by the Government of Mexico is entitled to operate "[f]rom a point

or points in Mexico to a point or points in the United States." Aero mexico

understands that it remains designated to serve the se markets, and it

continues to hold DGAC authority t o provide service in those markets.

0F 1 /

1 / Should a designation in any market have been withdrawn, however,

Aeromexico requests that the Department defer action on the renewal

request for that market while proceeding to renew the remaining authority.
