APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

FOR AN EXEMPTION (MIAMI-COZUMEL, MEXICO) 

 American Airlines, Inc., under 49 USC 40l09, hereby 

applies for an exemption authorizing scheduled foreign air 

transportation of persons, property, and mail between Miami, 

Florida and Cozumel, Mexico on a seasonal basis.

American proposes to begin daily Miami-Cozumel nonstop 

service on November 21, 2013 using 150-seat Boeing 737-800 

aircraft (16F/134Y). Illustrative schedules and other data are 

attached.

Under the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement, as amended, 

up to three U.S. carriers may serve the Miami-Cozumel route. No 

U.S. carrier presently operates nonstop service in this market.
American requests expedited approval of this application. 

We will poll the carrier parties named on the attached service 

list for non-objections and advise the Department of the results.

 

Respectfully submitted,
