d/b/a Interjet, for Renewal of Exemption

1/ The Department has issued Interjet a foreign air carrier permit that authorizes Interjet to conduct charter and specified scheduled operations between the U.S. and Mexico. DOT Order 2008-10-30, October 30, 2008. In addition, on August 31, 2011, the Department granted Interjet an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 in order for Interjet to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation on the Mexico City—San Antonio, Mexico City—Miami, and Mexico City—New York routes. Notice of Action Taken, Docket DOT-OST-2011-0159. The Department renewed that exemption on September 26, 2012. on February 15, 2013, to add the Monterrey—Las Vegas route. 1 / Since receiving its initial and amended exemption authority in this docket, Interjet has introduced scheduled service on the Mexico City—Santa Ana, Guadalajara—Santa Ana, San Jose del Cabo—Santa Ana, Toluca—Las Vegas, Monterrey—San Antonio, and Monterrey—Las Vegas routes. Interjet was established in March of 2005 and began domestic Mexican operations in December of 2005 with a fleet of A320 aircraft. Since its founding Interjet has developed into a major Mexican airline. It serves a broad network of scheduled routes within Mexico and a growing number of routes between the United States and Mexico. The Government of Mexico has designated Interjet as a Mexican airline to operate scheduled service on the above routes, and renewal of this exemption is accordingly in the public interest by giving effect to the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement. In addition to being bilaterally authorized, renewal of the exemption is in the public interest because it has enabled Interjet to introduce a substantial quantity of new and competitive air transportation services between the United States and Mexico.Application of ABC Aerolíneas, S.A. de C.V., Page 3

2/ Interjet 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 Application for Renewal.
