In further support of its request for renewal. Volaris states as follows: I. Volaris holds exemption authority to operate scheduled services in the Guadalajara-Los Angeles market.’ Volaris operates daily flights between Guadalajara and Los Angeles using A3 19 aircraft. 2.

is a contracting party to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and observes all applicable ICAO standards. 4. This renewal application raises no environmental

or energy issues. Similarly, approval of the application will not result in a near term increase in fuel consumption often million gallons or more.
