AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. Docket DOT-OST-1996-1693
for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 (U.S./Mexico CharterAirTransportation)

APPLICATION OF 

### AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION April20, 2015 Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §40109 and Subpart C ofthe 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 charterforeign airtransportation of passengers between Mexico and the United States, and other passenger charteroperations in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 212, using small aircraft. Aerolineas Marcos also requests renewal of its stopover privileges and continued relieffrom the Department's requirement to provide advance notice ofeach flight, orseries offlights, between Mexico and the United States.AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION The Department granted the above authorityto Aerolineas Marcos pursuant to a Notice ofAction Taken dated April 26, 2013. Aerolineas Page 2

Marcos requests thatthe Department renewthis authority, which is scheduled to expire April 26, 2015, for a period ofat leasttwo years.
Aerolineas Marcos invokes the automatic extension provisions ofthe 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 ofthis application, Aerolineas Marcos states as follows:

1. Aerolineas Marcos continues to be financially fit, and is willing and able to provide charter passengerservices using small aircraft. Aerolineas Marcos reports thatthere have been no changes in ownership or key personnel during the past two years. See ExhibitA, 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 herebyvalidates and resubmits by reference information it has previously submitted in Docket DOT-OST-1996-1693.AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION Page 3
2. Aerolineas Marcos' Mexican authorityto engage in transborder charter passenger service remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authority pursuantto 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 AirTransport Agreement and are, therefore, presumptively in the public interest. The Department's grants to Aerolineas Marcos ofstopover privileges and relief from the advance notice requirement for Mexico-U.S. transborder charter flights are based on principles ofcomity and reciprocity and on public interest grounds, since Aerolineas Marcos will be conducting its charteroperations solelywith small aircraft. Aerolineas Marcos submits that continuation of these extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted, given the harmonious state ofaviation relations between Mexico and the United States.

The services provided byAerolineas Marcos satisfy a continuing commercial need. Theyfoster business activities and economic opportunities between Mexico and the United States and therebyfurtherthe 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.AEROLINEAS MARCOS, S.A. de C.V. RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION Page 4
the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, renewal ofall elements ofAerolineas Marcos' authoritywould be in the public interest.

4. Aerolineas Marcos' renewal application is limited in scope and is non-controversial. Aerolineas Marcos' proposed airtransportation 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 theirguests using small executivejet aircraft.
WHEREFORE, Aerolineas Marcos, S.A. de C.V. respectfully requests renewal of its authorityto engage in charterforeign airtransportation of passengers between Mexico and the United States using small aircraft, as setforth herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest. Respectfully submitted,
