business, thereby fostering COmmerce between Mexico and the

United States consistent with the objectives of the North

American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

(b) TAVTOL's request for stopover privileges is

consistent with the need of the executives using its services who

6
will, from time to time, need to stop at two or more places in

the U.S. as part of their round trip itineraries. TAVTOL submits

that no regulatory purpose would be served by preventing TAVTOL

from responding to the stopover needs of its customers.

WHEREFORE, TAVTOL respectfully requests exemption authority

to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and

their accompanying baggage with small aircraft as set forth

herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest.
