APPLICATION OF SERVICIOS AEREOS M.T.T., S.A. DE C.V. FORREINSTATEMENT OFAN EXEMPTION
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and the Department's regulations, Servicios Aereos M.T.T., S.A. de C.V. hereby applies for reinstatement ofits exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41301 which authorizes Servicios to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and their accompanying baggage between the United States and Mexico with small aircraft and, subject to prior Department approval, between othercountries and the United States. Servicios also requests reinstatement ofits stopoverprivileges and relief from any requirement to obtain advance approval for each Mexico U.S. flight. The Department last granted the above authority to Servicios by Notice ofAction Taken dated January 13, 2010. Servicios requests that this authority, which expired onJanuary 13, 2012, be reinstated for a period oftwo years or alternatively for a period ofat least one year. In support ofthis application, Servicios states as follows:

1. The relevant circumstances under which Servicios received its initial grant of exemption authority are essentially unchanged, as contained in Docket DOT-OST-2001-10786. Servicios' only change was the sale ofits original and only aircraft (Cessna 208B) in January of2011 and the subsequent purchase ofa
new aircraft (Pilatus turboprop PC-12/47) in October of2011, which now uses the same tail number (XA-MTA) as the original aircraft. The new aircraft consists of2 crew members and seats 8 passengers. The ownership and operation ofthe new aircraftremains the same as the original aircraft.

2. Servicios' application for reinstatement ofits exemption is limited in scope and non-controversial. The services Servicios proposes to operate are substantially identical to those it had performed in the years it previously had authority, i. e. highlypersonalized transport services to executives ofServicios and its related companies and their invitees using small private business-type aircraft. Servicios' Mexican authority to engage in transborder charterpassenger services remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authoritypursuant to its FAA Part 129 Operations Specifications.

WHEREFORE, Servicios respectfully requests reinstatement ofits authority to engage in charter foreign air transportation ofpersons and their accompanying baggage with small private aircraft as set forth herein, and such otherreliefas may be in the public interest.
