Application of: 

BEFORE THE UNITED STATES 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

AEROVENA, S.A. DE C. V. 

for an exemption pursuant to 49 USC 40109 (U.S./Mexico Charter Air Transportation) 

APPLICATION OF AEROVENA, S.A. DE C. V. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. 40109 and the Department's regulations, 

AEROVENA, S.A. DE C.V. (AEROVENA) hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S 

C. 40301 which authorizes AEROVENA to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons 

and their accompanying baggage with small aircraft between the United States and Mexico, and, 

subject to prior Department approval, between other countries and the United States. AEROVENA 

also requests renewal of its relief from the requirement to obtain advance approval for each MexicoU.S. flight and stopover privileges. The Department granted the above authority to AEROVENA by 

Notice of Action Taken dated December 10, 2010. AEROVENA requests that this authority, which 

is scheduled to expire on December 10, 2012, be renewed for a period of at least two years. 

AEROVENA invokes the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S. C. 558 (c), as implemented by 14 C.F.R. Part 377, to maintain its exemption 

authority in effect pending a final Department determination on this renewal application. 

In support of this application, AEROVENA states as follows: 

1:- AEROVENA continues to be fit, willing and able to provide the small 

aircraft passenger charter services for which it requests renewed authority. The relevant 

circumstances under which AEROVENA received its initial grant of exemption authority are 

unchanged. 
2.- AEROVENA ·s Third and Fourth Freedom charter authority is authorized 

by Annex II to the U. S. - Mexico Air Transport Agreement, and is therefore presumptively in the 

public interest. AEROVENA ·s Fifth Freedom charter authority is based on principles of comity and 

reciprocity, as is its relief from the advance approval requirement for transborder charter flights and 

any grant of stopover privileges. AEROVENA submits that continuation of this extra-bilateral 

authorizations is warranted given the harmonius state of aviation relations between the U.S. and 

Mexico. Consequently, renewal of all elements of AEROVENA ·s authority would be consistent with 

the public interest. Further, the services provided by AEROVENA satisfy a continuing need and 

other wise serve the public interest by fostering commerce between Mexico and the United States 

consistent with the objectives of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). 

3.- AEROVENA's renewal application is limited in scope and noncontroversial. The services AEROVENA proposes to operate are substantially identical to those it 

performed during the past year, i.e. highly personalized transport services to executives and their 

invitees using small business-type aircraft. AEROVENA's Mexican authority to engage in 

transborder passenger charter services remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authority 

pursuant to its FAA Part 129 Operations Specifications. 

WHEREFORE, AEROVENA respectfully requests renewal of its 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 pubBc interest. 

Respectfully submitted,
