Application of 

BEFORE THE 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. Docket DOT -OST -1996-1693 

for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 

(U.S./Mexico Charter Air Transportation) 

APPLICATION OF 

AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

April20, 2015 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §401 09 and Subpart C of the Department's 

Rules of Practice, Aerolineas Marcos, S.A. de C.V. hereby applies for 

renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. §41301, which authorizes Aerolineas 

Marcos to engage in charter foreign air transportation of passengers between 

Mexico and the United States, and other passenger charter operations in 

accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 212, using small aircraft. Aerolineas Marcos 

also requests renewal of its stopover privileges and continued relief from the 

Department's requirement to provide advance notice of each flight, or series 

of flights, between Mexico and the United States. 
AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. 

RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

The Department granted the above authority to Aerolineas Marcos 

pursuant to a Notice of Action Taken dated April 26, 2013. Aerolineas 

Page 2 

Marcos requests that the Department renew this authority, which is scheduled 

to expire April 26, 2015, for a period of at least two years. 

Aerolineas Marcos 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, Aerolineas Marcos states as follows: 

1. Aerolineas Marcos continues to be financially fit, and is willing 

and able to provide charter passenger services using small aircraft. 

Aerolineas Marcos reports that there have been no changes in ownership or 

key personnel during the past two years. See Exhibit A, however, for 

information regarding changes in corporate address, aircraft, and aircraft 

liability insurance coverage. As modified by the changes described in this 

application, Aerolineas Marcos hereby validates and resubmits by reference 

information it has previously submitted in Docket DOT-OST-1996-1693.

2. Aerolineas Marcos' Mexican authority to engage in transborder 

charter passenger service remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. 

authority pursuant to the company's Part 129 Operations Specifications from 

the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).11 See Exhibit 8 for a copy of 

Aerolineas Marcos' current Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) from the 

Direcci6n General de Aeronautica Civil in Mexico ("DGAC"). 

3. Aerolineas Marcos' Third and Fourth Freedom charter 

authorities are consistent with Annex II to the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport 

Agreement and are, therefore, presumptively in the public interest. The 

Department's grants to Aerolineas Marcos of stopover privileges and relief 

from the advance notice requirement for Mexico-U.S. transborder charter 

flights are based on principles of comity and reciprocity and on public interest 

grounds, since Aerolineas Marcos will be conducting its charter operations 

solely with small aircraft. Aerolineas Marcos submits that continuation of 

these extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted, given the harmonious state 

of aviation relations between Mexico and the United States. 

The services provided by Aerolineas Marcos satisfy a continuing 

commercial need. They foster business activities and economic opportunities 

between Mexico and the United States and thereby further the objectives of 

Y Aerolineas Marcos has held Part 129 Operations Specifications from the FAA International 

Field Office in Dallas/Ft. Worth since June 16, 1997 under FAA Identifier Number M70F704F. 

The company's largest aircraft, a Gulfstream G-450, is configured for 16 passenger seats.

RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, renewal 

of all elements of Aerolineas Marcos' authority would be in the public interest. 

4. Aerolineas Marcos' renewal application is limited in scope and 

is non-controversial. Aerolineas Marcos' proposed air transportation services 

are unchanged from those it performed between Mexico and the United 

States during the past two years, i.e., customized transport services for 

executives and their guests using small executive jet aircraft. 

WHEREFORE, Aerolineas Marcos, S.A. de C.V. respectfully requests 

renewal of its authority to engage in charter foreign air transportation of 

passengers between Mexico and the United States using small aircraft, as 

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

Respectfully submitted,
