WASHINGTON, D.C. 

MEXICO TRANSPORTES AEREOS, S.A. de C.V. Docket DOT -OST -1997-2801 

for renewal of exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 

(U.S./Mexico Charter Air Transportation) 

APPLICATION OF 

MEXICO TRANSPORTES AEREOS, S.A. de C.V. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

April 16, 2015 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §401 09 and Subpart C of the 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 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. Mexico Transportes Aereos 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.

Renewal of Exemption 

Page 2 

The Department granted the above authority to Mexico Transportes 

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

Transportes Aereos requests that the Department renew this authority, which 

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

Mexico Transportes Aereos 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, Mexico Transportes Aereos states as 

follows: 

1. Mexico Transportes Aereos continues to be financially fit, and is 

willing and able to provide charter passenger services using small aircraft. 

Mexico Transportes Aereos reports that there has been no changes to its 

corporate address, ownership, or key personnel during the past two years. 

There have, however, been changes to Mexico Transportes Aereos' fleet of 

aircraft and corresponding aircraft liability insurance coverage. See Exhibit A. 

As modified by the changes described in this application, Mexico Transportes 

Aereos hereby validates and resubmits by reference the information it 

previously submitted in Docket DOT-OST-1997-2801.

Renewal of Exemption 

Page 3 

2. Mexico Transportes Aereos' authority to engage in transborder 

charter passenger services 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").1' See Exhibit B for a copy of 

Mexico Transportes Aereos's current Air Operator's Certificate ("AOC") from 

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

3. Mexico Transportes Aereos' Third and Fourth Freedom charter 

authorities are fully 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 Mexico Transportes Aereos 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 Mexico Transportes Aereos will be conducting its charter 

operations solely with small aircraft. Mexico Transportes Aereos 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 Mexico Transportes Aereos satisfy a 

continuing commercial need. They foster business activities and economic 

ll Mexico Transportes Aereos holds Part 129 Operations Specifications from the FAA 

International Field Office in Dallas/Fort Worth under FAA Certificate Number M17F773F. 

The company's largest aircraft, a Gulfstream G-450, is configured for 15 passenger seats.

opportunities between Mexico and the United States and thereby further the 

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

Accordingly, renewal of all 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 past two years, i.e., customized 

transport services for executives and their guests using small executive jet 

aircraft. 

WHEREFORE, Mexico Transportes Aereos, 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,
