WASHINGTON, D.C. Application of ABC AEROLÍNEAS, S.A. de C.V. d/b/a/ INTERJET for an Exemption pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 to engage in Scheduled Foreign Air Transportation of Persons, Property, and Mail (U.S./Mexico) Docket DOT-OST-2012-

APPLICATION OF ABC AEROLÍNEAS, S.A. de C.V. d/b/a INTERJET

FOR AN EXEMPTION Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §40109, ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., d/b/a Interjet, hereby applies for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41302 in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on the following routes: (1) Mexico City, Mexico - Santa Ana, California; (2) Guadalajara, Mexico - Santa Ana, California; (3) San Jose del Cabo, Mexico - Santa Ana, California; (4) Toluca, Mexico - Las Vegas, Nevada; (5) Toluca, Mexico - Houston, Texas; and (6) Toluca, Mexico - Chicago, Illinois. Interjet plans to introduce service on the three routes from Mexico City, Guadalajara, and San Jose del Cabo, respectively, to Santa Ana on or about September 14, 2012, and Interjet therefore requests expedited treatment of this Application in order to commence marketing on those routes. Interjet will poll the parties on the attached Service List and will report the results of its poll to the Department.Application of ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., Page 2

d/b/a Interjet, for an Exemption Interjet was established in March of 2005 and began domestic Mexican operations in December of 2005 with a fleet of A320 aircraft. Since its founding Interjet has developed into a major Mexican airline. It serves a broad network of scheduled routes within Mexico and a growing number of routes between the United States and Mexico. In October of 2008, the Department issued Interjet a foreign air carrier permit authorizing Interjet to conduct charter and specified scheduled operations between the U.S. and Mexico. DOT Order 2008-10-30, October 30, 2008. On August 31, 2011, the Department granted Interjet an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation on the Mexico City - San Antonio; Mexico City - Miami; and Mexico City - New York routes. Notice of Action Taken, Docket DOT-OST-2011-0159. Interjet has subsequently initiated scheduled service between Mexico and San Antonio on December 1, 2011, between Mexico City and Miami on February 23, 2012, and between Mexico City and New York (JFK) on August 2, 2012. On July 17, 2012, the Government of Mexico issued Interjet the attached authorization to provide scheduled transportation of persons, property, and mail on the routes requested in this Application. The Government of Mexico has also designated Interjet as a Mexican airline to operate scheduled service on the routes in question. The date of the designation for the Mexico City - Santa Ana; Toluca - Las Vegas; Toluca - Houston; and Toluca - Chicago markets was March 30, 2012. The date of the designation for the Guadalajara - Santa Ana and San Jose del Cabo - Santa Ana markets was July 30, 2012,Application of ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., Page 3

d/b/a Interjet, for an Exemption Approval of this Application is in the public interest because it gives effect to the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement by authorizing new Mexican carrier service on the six routes in question. Approval of the Application is also in the public interest because it enables Interjet to increase capacity and competition on all six routes, and on the three routes to Santa Ana in particular since Interjet will start marketing on those routes immediately upon the approval of this Application. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, the Department of Transportation should issue an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41302 to ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., d/b/a Interjet, for a period of at least two years in order to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on the following routes: (1) Mexico City, Mexico - Santa Ana, California; (2) Guadalajara, Mexico - Santa Ana, California; (3) San Jose del Cabo, Mexico - Santa Ana, California; (4) Toluca, Mexico - Las Vegas, Nevada; (5) Toluca, Mexico - Houston, Texas; and (6) Toluca, Mexico - Chicago, Illinois.
