APPLICATION OF ESTAFETA CARGA AEREA, S.A. de C.V.

FOR RENEWAL OF ITS TEMPORARY SECTION 40109(c) EXEMPTION TO OPERATE ALL-CARGO SERVICES; PART 377 INVOKED TO CONTINUE AUTHORITY.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C §40109 and the Department's Regulations and pursuant to Part 377 of the Department's Regulations and 5 U.S.C. §558(c), ESTAFETA CARGA AEREA, S.A. de C.V. ("ESTAFETA") submits this application for the renewal of the all-cargo service exemption issued on December 29, 2010, (Notice of A c t ion taken--Docket OST-2001-8630) authorizing ESTAFETA to engage in charter cargo transportation of property between points in Mexico, on the one hand, and points in the United States, on the other, for a period of one year; and scheduled all-cargo services between (1) Chihuahua, Mexico, and Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas; and (2) Merida, Mexico, and Miami, Florida; and (3) Cancun, Mexico, and Miami, Florida; (See February 16, 2007, designation by the2

Government of Mexico attached to our October 2007 filing).
I. RENEWAL OF EXISTING AUTHORITY 1. ESTAFETA is applying to renew its cargo charter and scheduled cargo authority between the United States and Mexico. (See notice of Action taken on December 29, 2009). The governments of these countries have e s t ablished a liberal charter authority regime for carriers of each country. (See DOT Orders 99-7-23 and 98-4-2). Estafeta has been awarded economic and operating authority by its home country to engage in these charters. Estafeta will use B737 freighters for this service. Estafeta leases its aircraft and operates them with its own crews. The carrier began Mexico domestic operations in November 2000. The carrier currently operates a weekly scheduled service between Merida and Miami; and four times a week between Cancun and Miami. And cargo charters from time to time. Operations in 2011 are expected to be approximately the same as those operated in 2010. 2. Estafeta relies on the da t a i t submitted with its original application. That information is still substantially correct. Since it began service to the U n i ted States, Estafeta has had no operating accident or incidents. It is unaware of any complaints filed against it. Estafeta i s not aware of any enforcement actions from the Department of Transportation or the FAA. Estafeta is a w a re that the FAA has issues with the Mexican DGAC; thus Estafeta is not seeking new authority. 3. ESTAFETA began service to the United States in January 2002.2

4. ESTAFETA is wholly owned and managed by citizens of Mexico. The company and its key personnel have no interest in any U.S. or nonU.S. carrier, common carrier, or person subst a n t ially engaged in aeronautics. ESTAFETA is headquartered at San Luis Potosi's Ponciano Arriaga Airport and has a corporate presence in Mexico City. 5. The likely U.S. points which E S T AFETA will serve on cargo charters are: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattl e , P h oenix, Denver, DFW, San Antonio, Houston, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, D e troit, Atlanta, Washington Dulles, New York JFK, Orlando and Miami. Such flights would depart or enter Mexico at: Merida, San Luis Potosi, Cancun, Tijuana, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Chihuahua, and Monterrey. These are just the anticipated likely origin/destination points for the carrier. Any U.S. airport with appropria t e c u stoms facilities might also receive this on-demand service. The U.S. - Mexico charter bilateral establishes the comity and reciprocity required for the granting of this exemption (See Order 99-7-23). 6. Estafeta is operating one scheduled all cargo flight per week at th i s t i m e o ver a Merida - Miami - Merida routing. And it is operating flights four times a week between Cancun and Miami and
return. 7. Invocation of PART 377 automatic extens i o n : T h is renewal application is being filed before the expiration of Notice of action taken dated December 29, 2009. Thus, Estafeta is relying on that Part for the automatic extension of its current authority pending Department4

action on this renewal. Estafeta is not seeking any new authority in this application.

WHEREFORE , E STAFETA CARGA AEREA, S.A. de C.V. requests the Department of Transportation to renew its exemption from §41302 of Title 49 to continue to authorize it to conduct scheduled and foreign charter air transpo r t ation of property between points in the United States, on the one hand, and points in Mexico, on the other, including scheduled all-cargo services between (a) Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, and Chihuahua, Mexico, (b) between Miami, Florida, and Merida, Mexico; and (c) between Miami, Florida, and Cancun, Mexico; (d) cargo charter services between points in Mexico and points in the United States; and (d) for other relief which is just and proper.
