Re: American Eagle Airlines, Inc., Small Aircraft Service

Between Dallas/Ft. Worth and two additional points in

Mexico (DOT-OST-2011-0076)

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

American Eagle Airlines, Inc. hereby requests designation under

the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement, as amended, in order to 

provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons,

property, and mail between Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas and 

Hermosillo, Mexico and Zacatecas, Mexico using small aircraft.

American Eagle proposes to operate nonstop service in these 

markets using Embraer regional jet aircraft with between 37 and 

50 seats starting on or about June 12, 2013. American Eagle 

proposes to operate these aircraft in the two listed markets 

according to the following schedule:

Route Depart Arrive Frequency

Dallas/Ft. Worth-Hermosillo 19:10 19:35 Daily

Hermosillo-Dallas/Ft. Worth 7:00 11:30 Daily

Dallas/Ft. Worth-Zacatecas 10:45 12:50 3x weekly

Zacatecas-Dallas/Ft. Worth 13:30 15:50 3x weekly

American Eagle holds certificates of public convenience and

necessity to provide scheduled air transportation of persons,

property, and mail between and among points in the U.S. (Order

98-4-24, April 23, 1998), and to provide scheduled foreign air

transportation of persons, property, and mail between points in

the U.S. and points in open skies countries (Route 905, Order 
2011-8-9, August 12, 2011), and between named points in Mexico 

(Route 906, Order 2011-11-19, November 13, 2011). American Eagle 

also holds designations to serve between Dallas/Ft. Worth and 

points in Mexico using small aircraft (Aguascalientes, Leon, 

Mazatlan, Morelia, Queretaro, Veracruz and Puebla).

The U.S.-Mexico bilateral agreement provides that up to two U.S. 

carriers may operate service in any U.S.-Mexico city pair

market. No nonstop service is presently operated between 

Dallas/Ft. Worth-Hermosillo and Zacatecas. 

All of American Eagle’s operations are held out to the public 

under the AA* code. To the extent required, we request a 

codeshare designation as well as an operating designation in the 

Dallas/Ft. Worth-Hermosillo and Zacatecas markets. 

American is polling the carrier parties named on the attached 

service list for non-objections and will provide the department 

with the results when our poll is completed.

Respectfully submitted,
