The last exemption granted under this Docket is in effect up to April 19, 2012. In support of this application, MAS de Carga states as follows:3

1. MAS de Carga is a flag carrier o f Mexico and continues to be authorized and designated by the Government of Mexico to perform scheduled all- cargo service in the routes requested. 2. MAS de Carga has continued its pattern of successful operations between the requested routes without accident or incident. In addition, MAS de Carga believes that the operations planned by it are in the public interest.3. This application raises no environmental or energy issues. MAS de Carga’s operations are performed entirely with modern aircraft that meet all noise requirements applicable to operations at all the respective airports.
