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

FOR RENEWAL OF CODE-SHARE EXEMPTION

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109(c), Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 

("Aeromexico") respectfully requests renewal of its exemption authority, 

issued in the above-captioned dockets by Notice of Action Taken dated 

October 30, 2013, to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of 

persons, property, and mail by placing its AM designator code on flights of 

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) and Compass Airlines, LLC (“Compass”) in the 

Monterrey, Mexico-Detroit, Michigan market. Aeromexico requests that this 

code-share exemption authority be renewed for an additional, one-year 

period. Aeromexico intends to invoke the 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: 
- 2 - Aeromexico

Renewal Application

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 Monterrey-Detroit market by placing its 

code on Delta and Compass flights. This exemption authority is scheduled to 

expire on October 30, 2014.1 Aeromexico either is offering nonstop, codeshare service with one or both of the listed carriers or wishes to maintain 

authority so that it can resume such service with one or both carriers 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 this market on Delta and Compass flights 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-sharing 

policies set forth in Order 99-6-6. Aeromexico continues to hold authority 

from the DGAC to serve these transborder routes. Thus, the requested 

1/ Delta and Compass hold statements of authorization to carry the AM* code 

on their flights in the Monterrey-Detroit market issued by the same Notice in 

Dockets OST-2013-0062 and OST-2013-0063.
