AMENDMENT TO 

APPLICATION OF AEROLITORAL, S.A. DE C.V. D/B/A 

AEROMEXICO CONNECT FOR EXEMPTION AND 

CODE-SHARE STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION 

 Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109(c) and 14 C.F.R. Part 212, Aerolitoral, 

S.A. de C.V. d/b/a Aeromexico Connect respectfully amends the abovecaptioned, August 21, 2012 application so that it may expand its existing 

code-share arrangement with Delta Air Lines, Inc. to include the Merida, 

Mexico-Miami, Florida market. Aerolitoral also requests a waiver of advance 

filing requirements so that it may display both the AM* code of Aerovias de 

Mexico, S.A. de C.V. and the DL* code of Delta without delay on scheduled 

Merida-Miami flights. As amended, therefore, Aerolitoral’s application in 

this docket requests: 

 
 - 2 - Aerolitoral 

 Amendment 

a. Exemption authority for one year to the extent necessary to permit 

Aerolitoral to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of 

persons, property, and mail between Merida, Mexico and Miami, 

Florida. 

 

b. Statement of authorization for an indefinite period to permit 

Aerolitoral to display Aeromexico’s “AM” designator code on flights 

operated by Aerolitoral on the route listed in paragraph (a) above. 

Aeromexico holds permit authority to serve the market issued by 

Order 91-5-25. 

c. Statement of authorization for an indefinite period to permit 

Aerolitoral to display Delta’s “DL” designator code on flights operated 

by Aerolitoral on the route listed in paragraph (a) above. Delta holds 

certificate authority to serve the market issued by Order 2010-3-12. 

d. a waiver of the 45-day advance filing requirement for both codeshare 

statements of authorization under 14 C.F.R. Part 212. 

So that it may begin code-share service under the requested authority in 

September 2012, Aerolitoral also requests expedited consideration of this 

application; after polling U.S. carriers served with this application, as 

amended, it will report the poll results to the Department. The amended 

relief remains consistent with the public interest for the reasons discussed in 

the original application.
