APPLICATION OF AEROVIAS DE MEXICO, S.A. DE C.V.

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTIONS 

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, 

solely by placing its AM designator code on flights of the operating carrier(s)

shown, in the following three Mexico-U.S. markets as granted by sections 

3(2), 4, and 5 of the Notice of Action Taken dated April 16, 2014:

 

Market Operated by1 Docket (OST-) 

Guadalajara-Atlanta DL 1999-5615 

Monterrey-Atlanta DL/DLC 2001-10369

Monterrey-Detroit EfsV 1997-3289 & 2000-7708

Aeromexico requests that exemption authority for these markets be renewed 

for an additional, one-year period. Aeromexico intends to invoke the 

1/ Codes for operating carriers identified in the Notice: DL = Delta Air Lines,

Renewal Application

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 April 16, 2014. As to each 

market, 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 

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-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 interest standard of 49 U.S.C. § 40109(c).
