In support of this application, Aeromexi co states as follows:
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 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 April 16 , 2014 . As to each

m arket , Aeromexico either is offering non

- stop, 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 b enefits to the traveling public . Consequently, Aeromexico seeks to renew th e 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

- share policies first set forth in Order 99 -6- 6. Aeromexico continues to hold authority from the DGAC to serve these transborder routes. Thus, the requested renewal meets the public int erest standard of 49 U.S.C. § 40109(c).
