### foran exemption pursuantto 49 USC40109 (U.S.lMexico CharterAirTransportation)
APPLICATION OF PILATUS PC-12 CENTER DE MEXICO, SA DE C.v. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION
Pursuant to 49 U. S. C. 40109 and the Department's regulations, PILATUS PC-12 CENTER DE MEXICO, SA DE C.v. (PILATUS) herebyappliesfor renewal ofits exemption from 49 U.S C. 40301 which authorizes PILATUS to engage in charterforeign airtransportation of persons and their accompanying baggage with small aircraft between the United States and Mexico, and, subjectto prior Departmentapproval, between othercountries and the United States. PILATUS also requests renewal of its relief from the requirement to obtain advance approval for each Mexico-U.S. flight and stopover privileges. The Department granted the above authority to PILATUS by Notice of Action Taken dated April 06, 2009. PILATUS requests that this authority, which is scheduled to expire on April 06, 2011, be renewed fora period ofat leasttwo years. PILATUS invokes the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative ProcedureAct,S U. S. C. 558 (c), as implemented by 14 C.F.R. Part 377, to maintain its exemption authority in effect pending afinal Departmentdetermination on this renewal application. In supportofthis application, PILATUS states as follows:
1:-PILATUS continues to be fit, willing and able to provide the small aircraft passenger charter services for which it requests renewed authority. The relevant circumstances underwhich PILATUS received its initial grantofexemption authority are unchanged.

### 2.-PILATUS·s Third and Fourth Freedom charter authority is authorized by Annex II to the U. S. - MexicoAirTransportAgreement, and is therefore presumptively in the public interest. PILATUS's Fifth Freedom charterauthority is based on principles ofcomity and reciprocity, as is its relieffrom the advanceapproval requirementfortransbordercharterflights and any grantof stopover privileges. PILATUS submits that continuation of this extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted given the harmonius state of aviation relations between the U.S. and Mexico. Consequently, renewal ofall elements of PILATUS's authority would be consistent with the public interest. Further, the services provided by PILATUS satisfy a continuing need and otherwise serve the public interest by fostering commerce between Mexico and the United States consistentwith the objectives ofthe North American Free TradeAgreement (NAFTA).
3.- PILATUS's renewal application is limited in scope and non-controversial. The services PILATUS proposes to operate are substantially identical to those it performed during the past year, i.e. highly personalized transport services to executives and their invitees using small business-type aircraft. PILATUS's Mexican authority to engage in transborder passenger charter services remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authority pursuant to its FAA Part 129 Operations Specifications. WHEREFORE, PILATUS respectfully requests renewal of its authority to engage in charterforeign airtransportation ofpersons and their accompanying baggage with small aircraftas setforth herein, and such other reliefas may be in the public interest.
Respectfully submitted,
