- 0182 Aeromexico requests that exemption authority for these markets be renewed for a n additional, one

- year period. Aeromexico intends to invoke the automatic extension provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 558(c) and Part 377 of the- 2 - Aeromexico Renewal Application Department's Special Regulations. In support of this application, Aeromexico states as follows:
1. Aero mexico is a flag carrier of the United Mexican States an d currently holds a permit, Order 91 -5- 25, and various exemp tions which authorize service between Mexico and numerous U.S. points. Pursuant to this authority, Aeromexico provides extensive transborder service.
2. By this application, Aeromexico seeks renewal of its exemption authority to serve the t wo markets listed above. Exemption authority for these markets is scheduled to expire on the one

- year anniversary of each corresponding Notice of Action Taken , that is, October 22 and 24, 2014 . As to each market, Aeromexico either is serving the market with nonstop flights or wishes to maintain authority so that it can resume nonstop service should conditions warrant. Aeromexico’s services in Mexico

- U.S. markets provide significant b enefits to the traveling public . Consequently, Aeromexico seeks to renew th e authority to serve both markets for an additional year.
3. Annex 1 to the 1960 Air Transport Agreement, as amended, between the United Mexican States and the United States provides that a car rier designated by the Government of Mexico is entitled to operate "[f]rom a point or points in Mexico to a point or points in the United States." Aero mexico has been designated to serve the listed markets and continues to hold DGAC authority to do so
