Application of: 

BEFORE THE UNITED STATES 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

PILATUS PC-12 CENTER DE MEXICO, S.A. DE C.V. 

for an exemption pursuant to 49 USC 40109 (U .S./Mexico Charter Air Transportation) 

APPLICATION OF PILATUS PC-12 CENTER DE MEXICO, S.A. 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, S.A. DE C.V. (PILATUS) hereby applies for renewal of its exemption 

from 49 U.S C. 40301 which authorizes PI LATUS to engage in charter foreign air transportation of 

persons and their accompanying baggage with small aircraft between the United States and 

Mexico, and, subject to prior Department approval, between other countries 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 June 21, 2013, PILATUS requests that this authority, 

which is scheduled to expire on June.21, 2015, be renewed for a period of at least two years. 

PILATUS 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, PI LATUS states as follows: 

1:-PILATUS continues to be fit, willing and able to provide the small aircraft 

passenger charter ser'lices for which it requests renewed authority. The relevant circumstances 

under which PI LATUS received its initial grant of exemption authority are unchanged. 
2.-PiLATUS's Third and Fourth Freedom charter authority is authorized by 

Annex II to the U. S. -Mexico Air Transport Agreement, and is therefore presumptively in the public 

interest. PILATUS's Fifth Freedom charter authority is based on principles of comity and reciprocity, 

as is its relief from the advance approval requirement for transborder charter flights and any grant of 

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 of all elements of PILATUS's authority would be consistent with the public 

interest. Further, the services provided by PILATUS satisfy a continuing need and other wise serve 

the public interest by fostering commerce between Mexico and the United States consistent with the 

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

3.- PILATUS's renewai 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 charter foreign air transportation of persons and their accompanying baggage with small 

aircraft as set forth herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest.
