APPLICATION OF 

Docket No. OST-00-7380 

SERVICIO AEREOS DE CHIHUAHUA AEROCHISA, S.A. DE C.V. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Pursuant to 49 US.c. 40109 and the Department's regulations, Servicios Aereos de 

Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v. hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 US.C. 

40901 which authorizes Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V. to engage in 

charter foreign air transportation of persons and their accompanying baggage with small aircraft 

between the United States and Mexico, and, subject to prior Department approval, between other 

countries and the United States. Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V. also 

requests stopover privileges and renewal of its relief from the requirement to obtain advance 

approval for each Mexico - US. flight. The Department granted the above authority to Servicios 

Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v. by Notice of Action taken dated August 13,2009. 

- 2 -
Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v. requests that this authority, which is 

scheduled to expire on August 13,2011, be renewed for a period of at least two years. 

Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v. invokes the automatic extension 

provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 US.c. 558(c), as implemented by 14 C.F.R. 

Part 377, to maintain its exemption authority in effect pending a final Department detennination 

on this renewal application. 

In Support of this application, Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v. 

states as follows: 

1. Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V. continues to be fit, willing and 

able to provide the small aircraft passenger charter services for which it requests renewed 

authority. The relevant circumstances under which Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua 

Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V. received its initial grant of exemption authority are unchanged. 

2. Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v.'s Third and Fourth Freedom 

charter authority is authorized by Annex II to the US. - Mexico Air Transport 

Agreement, and is therefore presumptively in the public interest. Servicios Aereos de 

Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.v. 's Fifth Freedom charter authority is based on 

principles of comity and reciprocity, as is its relief from the advance approval 

- 3 -
requirement for transborder charter flights and any grant of stopover privileges. 

Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V. submits that continuation of 

these extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted given the harmonious state of aviation 

relations between the United States and Mexico. In addition, the services provided by 

Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V. satisfy a continuing need and 

otherwise serve the public interest by fostering commerce between Mexico and the 

United States consistent with the objectives of the North American Free Trade 

Agreement (NAFTA). Consequently, renewal of all elements of Servicios Aereos de 

Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de C. V.' s authority would be consistent with the public 

interest. 

3. Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.V. renewal application is limited in 

scope and non-controversial. The services Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, 

S.A. de C. V. proposes to operate are substantially identical to those it performed during 

the past year, i.e. highly personalized transport services to executives and their invitees 

using small business-type aircraft. Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de 

C. V. 's Mexican authority to engage in transborder passenger charter services remains in 

full force and effect. 

WHEREFORE, Servicios Aereos de Chihuahua Aerochisa, S.A. de c.V. respectfully 

requests renewal of its authority to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and 

- 4 -
their accompanying baggage with small aircraft as set forth herein, and such other relief as may 

be in the public interest. 

June 21,2011.
