APPLICATION OF AMERICAN EAGLE AIRLINES, INC.

FOR DORMANCY WAIVER

American Eagle Airlines, Inc. hereby requests a dormancy

waiver for a period of at least one year with respect to its

Dallas/Ft. Worth

- Monterrey exemption authority. American Eagle

suspended service in this market on June 9, 2011 but intends to

resume service when m arket cond itions warrant, as stated in its

renewal applicati on in this docket on July 14, 2011.

Under the U.S.

- Mexico Air Transport Agreement, as

amended, up to three U.S. carriers may be authorized to operate

between DFW and Monterrey. American Airlines and American

Eagle each hold one authorization, and the rem aining one is

unassigned. American Ai rlines is curr ently operating four

daily roundtrip flights between the two cities.

Absent a dormancy w aiver, American Eagle would need to

re

- apply when it wishes t o restore DFW

- Monterrey service

, and

government

- t o

- government formalities would be required, placing

unnecessary burdens on the Depa rtment. The requested relief is

consistent with the public interest and should be granted.- 2
