Aeromexico intends to invoke the automatic extension provisions of 5 U.S.C. 

§ 558(c) and Part 377 of the Department's Special Regulations. In support of 

this application, Aeromexico states as follows: 

 1. Aeromexico is a flag carrier of the United Mexican States and 

currently holds a permit, Order 91-5-25, and various exemptions which 

authorize service between Mexico and numerous U.S. points. Pursuant to 

this authority, Aeromexico provides extensive transborder service. 

 2. By this application, Aeromexico seeks renewal of its exemption to 

serve the several Mexico-U.S. markets listed above by displaying its AM* 

code on flights operated by Delta and, in certain markets, SkyWest. The 

authority is scheduled to expire on February 16, 2012. The Aeromexico code 

currently appears on nonstop Delta or SkyWest flights in several of the 

markets listed above, and in the remaining markets Aeromexico wishes to 

retain nonstop, code-share authority so that its code can be placed on nonstop 

Delta or SkyWest flights should conditions warrant.
