WASHINGTON, D.C. Application of ABC AEROLÍNEAS, S.A. de C.V. d/b/a/ INTERJET for an Exemption pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 to engage in Scheduled Foreign Air Transportation of Persons, Property, and Mail (U.S./Mexico) Docket DOT-OST-2012-0140

APPLICATION OF ABC AEROLÍNEAS, S.A. de C.V., d/b/a INTERJET

TO AMEND EXEMPTION Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §40109, ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., d/b/a Interjet, hereby applies to amend its exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41302 in the above docket in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Las Vegas, Nevada, and Monterrey, Mexico. On January 22, 2013, the Government of Mexico issued Interjet the attached authorization to provide scheduled transportation between Las Vegas and Monterrey. In addition, by a diplomatic note dated December 19, 2012, the Government of Mexico designated Interjet to operate scheduled service on the Monterrey - Las Vegas route pursuant to the Air Transport Agreement between the United States and Mexico. Approval of this Application is in the public interest. It gives effect to the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement by authorizing new Mexican carrier serviceApplication of ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., Page 2

d/b/a Interjet, to Amend Exemption on the route in question. Approval of the Application is also in the public interest because it will enhance commercial ties between Las Vegas, a major U.S. tourism destination, and Monterrey, a major metropolitan area in Mexico. Interjet already conducts operations at Las Vegas and at Monterrey and is therefore well-positioned to provide dependable, value-based air transportation between the two points. Interjet is currently serving Las Vegas with scheduled service from Toluca. Monterrey—one of the first points that Interjet served in Mexico—is a point at which Interjet currently conducts extensive operations, including scheduled service to San Antonio. Interjet was established in March of 2005. It began domestic Mexican operations in December of 2005 with a fleet of A320 aircraft. Interjet initiated scheduled service to the United States in December of 2011, and now provides scheduled service between Mexico City, on the one hand, and San Antonio, Miami, New York (JFK), and Orange County, California, on the other; between Mexico City (Toluca), on the one hand, and Las Vegas and San Antonio, on the other; between Guadalajara and Orange County; and between Monterrey and San Antonio. Interjet requests expedited approval of this Application in order to commence service on this route as soon as possible. Interjet will poll the parties on the attached Service List and will report the results of its poll to the Department.Application of ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., Page 3

d/b/a Interjet, to Amend ExemptionConclusion For the foregoing reasons, the Department of Transportation should amend the exemption granted to ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., d/b/a Interjet, in this docket in order to authorize Interjet to operate scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Las Vegas, Nevada, and Monterrey, Mexico.
