### APPLICATION OF AMERICAN EAGLE AIRLINES, INC. FOR REGISTRATION OF NAME CHANGE AND REISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY IN THE

NAME OF "ENVOY AIR, INe. " American Eagle Airlines , Inc. ("American Eagle" ) , under 14 CFR Part 215 , hereby applies for registration of name change and reissuance of its certificates of public convenience and necessity in the name of "Envoy Air, Inc." ("Envoy Air" ). American Eagle proposes to make this change effective on or about April 15 , 2014. Once the certificates are reissued under the name of Envoy Air, Inc., the carrier will separately request that the Department register the trade name "American Eagle " in connection with services Envoy Air will perform on behalf of American Airlines, Inc. ( "American" ). In support of this application, American Eagle states a follows: 1. American Eagle is aU .S. air carrier holding the following certificates of public convenience and necessity:
a. Interstate and overseas, Order 98-4-24 b. Route 537 (U.S.-Caribbean), Order 98-5-12
c. Route 905 (Open Skies), Order 2011-8-9 d. Route 906 (U.S.-Mexico) , Order 20 1 1-11-19
e. Small Aircraft Codeshare designation, DOT-OST-2011-0076 2
. As a result ofthe bankruptcy reorganization of AMR and subsequent merger, as of December 9 , 2014, American Eagle is subsidiary of AMR Eagle Holding Corporation, a

### wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group Inc. ("AAG"), a publicly traded company with operating subsidiaries that also include American Airlines, Inc., US Airways Group, Inc., and its subsidiary airlines, US Airways, Inc. ("US Airways"), PSA Airlines, Inc. ("PSA"), and Piedmont Airlines, Inc. ("Piedmont"). 3. On April 17, 2013, American, US Airways, American Eagle, PSA and Piedmont jointly filed a route transfer application in DOT-OST-2013-0082, including routes and authorities held by American Eagle. By Order 2013-11-8, dated November 14, 2013, the Department issued an exemption granting certain relief to the extent necessary to allow the carriers to operate under common ownership pending final Department action on the transfer application. 4. The instant request is for a change in corporate name only and will not in itself constitute a substantial change as defmed by 14 CFR 204.6, as the new name will not otherwise affect the carrier's operations, ownership, or management. 5. To our knowledge, the name "Envoy Air, Inc." is not identical to or substantially similar with the name of any other certificated, commuter or foreign air carrier. 6. An executed copy ofOST Form 4523 is attached. 7. The $56 filing fee for registration and reissuance of certificates is being submitted via pay.gov.

Respectfully submitted,
