Application of

AEROTRANSPORTES CORPORATIVOS,

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.

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.

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 economic

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,
