APPLICATION OF TRANSPORTE EJECUTIVO AEREO S.A. DE C.V. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 40109 and the Department'sregulations, Transporte Ejecutivo Aereo, S. A. de C. V. (T.E.A.S.A.) hereby applies for renewal ofits exemption from 49 U.S.C. 41301 which authorizes T.E.A.S.A. to engage in charterforeign air transportation ofpersons and their accompanyingbaggagebetween the United States and Mexico with small aircraft and, subjectto prior Department approval, between other countries and the United States. T.E.A.S.A. also requests continuation ofits stopover privileges and renewal ofrelieffrom any requirement to obtain advance approval for each Mexico-U.S. flight. The Department granted the above authority to T.E.A.S.A. by Notice ofAction Taken dated May 31, 20 13. The effective dates ofthe authority granted extended from May 31, 2013 through May 31, 2015. T.E.A.S.A. requests that this authority, which is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2015, be renewed for a period oftwo years oralternatively at least for one year.T.E.A.S.A. invokes the automatic extension provisions ofthe 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 ofthis application, T.E.A.S.A. states as follows:

I. The relevant circumstances under which T.E.A.S.A. received its initial grant of exemption authority are unchanged.

2. T.E.A.S.A.'srenewal application is limited in scope and non-controversial. The services T.E.A.S.A. proposes to operate are substantially identical to those it performed during the past year, i. e. highly personalized transport services to executives ofT.E.A.S.A. and its related companies and their invitees using small private business-type aircraft. T.E.A.S.A.'s Mexican authority to engage in transbordercharterpassenger services remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authority pursuantto its FAA Part 129 Operations Specifications.

WHEREFORE, T.E.A.S.A. respectfully requests renewal ofits authority to engage in charter foreign air transportation ofpersons and their accompanying baggage with small private aircraft as set forth herein, and such otherreliefas may be in the public interest.

April I, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
