September 17, 2013 

## Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §40109 and Subpart C of the Department's Rules of Practice, Aero Quimmco, S.A. de C.V. hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. §41301, which authorizes Aero Quimmco 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. Aero Quimmco 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.

## The Department granted the above authority to Aero Quimmco pursuant to a Notice of Action Taken dated September 21, 2011. Aero Quimmco requests that the Department renew this authority, which is scheduled to expire September 21, 2013, for a period of at least two years. Aero Quimmco 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, Aero Quimmco states as follows: 1. Aero Quimmco continues to be financially fit, and is willing and able to provide passenger charter services using small aircraft. Aero Quimmco reports that there have been no changes in corporate address, key personnel, or aircraft since receiving its current grant of DOT authority. See Exhibit A, however, for information regarding changes in ownership and aircraft liability insurance coverage. With the exception of the changes described in this application, Aero Quimmco hereby validates and resubmits by reference information it previously submitted in DOT Docket DOT-OST-1996-1654.

### Aero Quimmco currently holds Part 129 Operations Specifications from the FAA International Field Office in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX, pursuant to FAA Certificate Number R6BF708F. Aero Quimmco’s largest aircraft, a Hawker 800, is configured for nine passenger seats. 

## 2. Aero Quimmco's Mexican authority to engage in transborder passenger charter 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 Aero Quimmco’s current Air Operator’s Certificate from the Mexican Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil. 3. Aero Quimmco's Third and Fourth Freedom charter authority is fully consistent with Annex II to the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement and is, therefore, presumptively in the public interest. The Department's grants to Aero Quimmco 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 Aero Quimmco will be conducting its charter operations solely with small aircraft. Aero Quimmco 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 Aero Quimmco satisfy a continuing commercial need. They foster business activities and economic 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 Aero Quimmco's authority would be in the public interest. 4. Aero Quimmco's renewal application is limited in scope and is non-controversial. Aero Quimmco'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, Aero Quimmco, 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,
