3. As noted above, VIREL is seeking transborder charter 
authority to engage in foreign air transportation of persons and 

their belongings without the need for prior Department approval 

of each flight, or series of flights. VIREL is also requesting 

stopover privileges. 

4. VIREL is operationally and financially qualified to perform 

the service for which authority is requested herein. As evidence 

thereof: 

(a) The Mexican DGAC has issued a permit authorizing 

VIREL to conduct non-scheduled, international air taxi 

transportation of passengers in the North and South American 

Continents. This permit is valid indefinitely and is attached as 

Exhibit B. 

(b) In 2001, VIREL received its DGAC permits and 

commenced commercial flight operations. From its base in Toluca, 

Edo, de Mexico, Mexico, VIREL provides air transportation to 

domestic and international passengers, consisting of members of 
the following institutions which form part of the governing body, 

owners, and stock holders of VIREL: 

GRUPO URIBE, S.A. de C.V 

Future operations, including its proposed U.S. service, are 

likely to be a continuation of this type of operation. VIREL 

estimates that it will operate 2 0 round trip flights 

annually between Mexico and the United States with an average 

load of five passengers per flight; all of which will originate 

in Mexico. 

(c) VIREL owns and operates a single 8 passenger Cessna 

Citation Mod 550 Jet aircraft with Mexican registration XA-LOF. 

(d) VIREL maintains its aircraft pursuant to a 

maintenance service agreement with Centre de Servicio Avemex, 

S.A. de C.V. ; in Toluca, Mexico, an authorized D.G.A.C. Service 

Center. In accordance with an airworthiness program approved by 

the Mexican DGAC in compliance with ICAO Annexes 1,6 (Part I) and 

7. 

(e) VIREL has established a well qualified management 
team with the necessary experience in providing domestic and 

international air taxi services. 

Lie. Fabian Uribe F. has served as the Director General 

of VIREL since its inception in 1993. 

Lie. Mercedes Rodriguez s. has served as the General 

Manager of VIREL since its inception in 1993. 

Capt. Miguel Pavon R. has been with the company since 

1993. Capt. Pavon received his Pilot's License in 1979. He 

received his Commercial Pilot's License in 1979 and has 

accumulated over 7100 hours of flight during his years of 

aviation experience, with over 310 0 hours in the Citation 

aircraft. Capt. Pavon is licensed to operate the company's 

Citation. He attends annual flight training courses at Tornado 

Adiestramiento in Mexico City, Mexico. 

He also holds the position of Chief Pilot in the company. 

Capt. Humberto Fernandez has been with the company 

since 1993. Capt. Fernandez received his Pilot's License in 

1980. He received his Commercial Pilot's License in 1982 and has 

accumulated over 670 0 hours of flight during his years of 

aviation experience, with over 3100 hours in the Citation 
aircraft. Capt. Fernandez is licensed to operate the company's 

Citation. He attends annual flight training courses at Tornado 

Adiestramiento in Mexico City, Mexico. 

He also holds the position of Chief of Maintenance in the 

company. 

A composite of VIREL's key personnel is shown in Exhibit C, 

(g) A copy of OST form 6411, Foreign Air Carriers 

Certificate of Insurance, is attached as Exhibit E. As shown 

therein, VIREL's limits of liability exceed the requirements of 

14 CFR Part 2 05. 

(h) VIREL has not been involved in any safety 

violations, tariff violations or fatal accidents since its 

inception. 

(i) VIREL does not have any agreement or cooperative 

working arrangements with any U.S. air carrier affecting its 
proposed services to the United States 

5. VIREL's proposed U.S. services are consistent with the public 

interest for the following reasons: 

(a) VIREL will be carrying executives to the U.S. on 

business, thereby fostering commerce between Mexico and the 

United States consistent with the objectives of the North 

American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 

(b) VIREL's request for stopover privileges is 

consistent with the need of the executives using its services who 

will, from time to time, need to stop at two or more places in 

the U.S. as part of their round trip itineraries. VIREL submits 

that no regulatory purpose would be served by preventing VIREL 

from responding to the stopover needs of its customers. 
WHEREFORE, VIREL respectfully requests exemption authority 

to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and 

their accompanying baggage with small aircraft as set forth 

herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest.
