for renewal ofexemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 (U.S./Mexico CharterAirTransportation)

APPLICATION OF 

### MEXICO TRANSPORTES AEREOS, S.A. de C.V. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION April 16, 2015
Pursuantto 49 U.S.C. §40109 and Subpart C ofthe Department's Rules of Practice, Mexico Transportes Aereos, S.A. de C.V. hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. §41301, which authorizes it to engage in charterforeign airtransportation ofpassengers between Mexico and the United States, and other passenger charter operations in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 212, using small aircraft. Mexico Transportes Aereos also requests renewal ofits stopover privileges and continued relieffrom the Department's requirementto provide advance notice ofeach flight, orseries of flights, between Mexico and the United States.MEXICO TRANSPORTES AEREOS, S.A. de C.V. Renewal of Exemption Page 2

The Department granted the above authorityto Mexico Transportes Aereos pursuantto a Notice ofAction Taken dated April 26, 2013. Mexico Transportes Aereos requests thatthe Department renewthis authority, which is scheduled to expire April 26, 2015, for a period ofat leasttwo years.

Mexico Transportes Aereos invokes the automatic extension provisions ofthe Administrative ProcedureAct, 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, Mexico Transportes Aereos states as follows:

1. Mexico TransportesAereos continues to be financially fit, and is willing and able to provide charter passenger services using small aircraft. Mexico Transportes Aereos reports thatthere has been no changes to its corporate address, ownership, or key personnel during the pasttwo years. There have, however, been changes to Mexico Transportes Aereos' fleet of aircraft and corresponding aircraft liability insurance coverage. See ExhibitA. As modified by the changes described in this application, Mexico Transportes Aereos herebyvalidates and resubmits by reference the information it previously submitted in Docket DOT-OST-1997-2801.MEXICO TRANSPORTESAEREOS, S.A. de C.V. Renewal of Exemption Page 3

2. Mexico Transportes Aereos' authorityto engage in transborder charter passengerservices 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").1' See Exhibit Bfor a copy of Mexico Transportes Aereos's currentAir Operator's Certificate ("AOC") from the Direcci6n General deAeronautica Civil in Mexico ("DGAC").

3. Mexico Transportes Aereos' Third and Fourth Freedom charter authorities are fully consistentwith Annex II to the U.S.-MexicoAirTransport Agreement and are, therefore, presumptively in the public interest. The Department's grants to Mexico Transportes Aereos ofstopover privileges and relieffrom the advance notice requirement for Mexico-U.S. transborder charter flights are based on principles ofcomity and reciprocity and on public interest grounds, since Mexico Transportes Aereos will be conducting its charter operations solelywith small aircraft. Mexico Transportes Aereos submits that continuation ofthese extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted, given the harmonious state ofaviation relations between Mexico and the United States.

The services provided by Mexico Transportes Aereos satisfy a continuing commercial need. Theyfoster business activities and economic

opportunities between Mexico and the United States and thereby furtherthe objectives ofthe North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, renewal ofall elements of Mexico Transportes Aereos's authority would be in the public interest.

4. Mexico Transportes Aereos' renewal application is limited in scope and is non-controversial. Mexico Transportes Aereos's proposed air transportation services are unchanged from those it performed between Mexico and the United States during the pasttwo years, i.e., customized transport services for executives and their guests using small executivejet aircraft.
WHEREFORE, Mexico Transportes Aereos, S.A. de C.V. respectfully requests renewal ofits authorityto engage in charterforeign airtransportation ofpassengers 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,
