WASHINGTON, D.C.

Application of AEROTRANSPORTES CORPORATIVOS, S.A. de C.V. for renewal of exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 (U.S./Mexico Charter Air Transportation) Docket DOT-OST-2006-23544

APPLICATION OF 

### AEROTRANSPORTES CORPORATIVOS, S.A. de C.V.

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION

September 17, 2013 Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §40109 and Subpart C of the Department's Rules of Practice, Aerotransportes Corporativos, S.A. de C.V. hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. §41301, which authorizes Aerotransportes Corporativos to engage in charter foreign air transportation of passengers between Mexico and the United States, and other passenger charter operations in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 212, using small aircraft. Aerotransportes Corporativos also requests renewal of its stopover privileges and continued relief from the Department's requirement to provide advance notice of each flight, or series of flights, between Mexico and the United States.AEROTRANSPORTES CORPORATIVOS, S.A. de C.V. Page 2

RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION The Department granted the above authority to Aerotransportes Corporativos pursuant to a Notice of Action Taken dated September 29, 2011. Aerotransportes Corporativos requests that the Department renew this authority, which is scheduled to expire September 29, 2013, for a period of at least two years.
Aerotransportes Corporativos invokes the automatic extension provisions of the 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 of this application, Aerotransportes Corporativos states as follows:
1. Aerotransportes Corporativos continues to be financially fit, and is willing and able to provide charter passenger services using small aircraft. Aerotransportes Corporativos reports that there have been no changes in ownership, corporate address, aircraft, or aircraft liability insurance coverage during the past two years. See Exhibit A, however, for information regarding a change in key personnel. With the exception of the change described in this application, Aerotransportes Corporativos hereby validates and resubmits by reference information it previously submitted in Docket DOT-OST-2006-23544.AEROTRANSPORTES CORPORATIVOS, S.A. de C.V.

1/ Aerotransportes Corporativos has held Part 129 Operations Specifications from the FAA International Field Office in Dallas/Fort Worth since January 6, 2007 (FAA Certificate Number 23AF160F). The company’s largest aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 900B, is configured for fifteen passenger seats. 2. Aerotransportes Corporativos' Mexican authority to engage in transborder charter passenger services remains in full force and effect, as does its U.S. authority pursuant to the company’s Part 129 Operations Specifications from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 1 / See Exhibit B for a copy of Aerotransportes Corporativos’ current Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil in Mexico (DGAC).
3. Aerotransportes Corporativos’ Third and Fourth Freedom charter authorities are fully consistent with Annex II to the U.S.-Mexico Air Transport Agreement and are, therefore, presumptively in the public interest. The Department's grants to Aerotransportes Corporativos of stopover privileges and relief from the advance notice requirement for Mexico-U.S. transborder charter flights are based on principles of comity and reciprocity and on public interest grounds, since Aerotransportes Corporativos will be conducting its charter operations solely with small aircraft. Aerotransportes Corporativos submits that continuation of these extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted, given the harmonious state of aviation relations between Mexico and the United States.
The services provided by Aerotransportes Corporativos satisfy a continuing commercial need. They foster business activities and economicAEROTRANSPORTES CORPORATIVOS, S.A. de C.V. Page 4

RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION opportunities between Mexico and the United States and thereby further the objectives of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, renewal of all elements of Aerotransportes Corporativos’ authority would be in the public interest.
4. Aerotransportes Corporativos’ renewal application is limited in scope and is non-controversial. Aerotransportes Corporativos’ proposed air transportation services are unchanged from those it performed between Mexico and the United States during the past two years, i.e. , customized transport services for executives and their guests using small executive jet aircraft.
WHEREFORE, Aerotransportes Corporativos, S.A. de C.V. respectfully requests renewal of its authority to engage in charter foreign air transportation of passengers between Mexico and the United States using small aircraft, as set forth herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest. Respectfully submitted,
