APPLICATION OF 

### TRANSPORTACION AEREA DEL NORTE, S.A. de C.V. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION April 20, 2015
Pursuantto 49 U.S.C. §40109 and Subpart C ofthe Department's Rules of Practice, Transportacion Aerea del Norte, S.A. de C.V. ("TANSA"), hereby applies for renewal of its exemption from 49 U.S.C. §41301, which authorizes it to engage in charterforeign airtransportation ofpassengers between Mexico and the United States, and other passenger charter operations in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 212, using small aircraft. TANSA also requests renewal of its stopover privileges and continued relief from the Department's requirementto provide advance notice ofeach flight, or series offlights, between Mexico and the United States.TRANSPORTACION AEREA DEL NORTE, S.A. de C.V. Renewal of Exemption Page 2

The Department granted the above authorityto TANSA pursuantto a Notice ofAction Taken dated April 26, 2013. TANSA requests thatthe Department renewthis authority, which is scheduled to expire April 26, 2015, fora period ofat leasttwo years.

TANSA invokesthe 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, TANSA states as follows:

1. TANSA continues to be financially fit, and is willing and able to provide charter passengerservices using small aircraft. TANSA reports that there have been no changes to its corporate address, key personnel, aircraft,
oraircraft liability insurance coverage during the pasttwo years. There has, however, been a change in TANSA's ownership. See ExhibitA fora current listing ofTANSA's ownership. Otherthan the changes described in this application, TANSA herebyvalidates and resubmits by reference the information it has previously submitted in Docket DOT-OST-1996-1479.TRANSPORTACION AEREA DEL NORTE, S.A. de C.V. Renewal of Exemption Page 3

2. TANSA's authorityto 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 ofTANSA's currentAir Operator's Certificate ("AOC") from the Direcci6n General de Aeronautica Civil in Mexico ("DGAC").

3. TANSA's Third and Fourth Freedom charter authorities are consistent with Annex II to the U.S.-Mexico AirTransportAgreement and are, therefore, presumptively in the public interest. The Department's grants to TANSA ofstopover privileges and relieffrom the advance notice requirement for Mexico-U.S. transborder charterflights are based on principles ofcomity and reciprocity and on public interest grounds, since TANSA will be conducting its charteroperations solelywith small aircraft. TANSA submits that continuation ofthese extra-bilateral authorizations is warranted, given the harmonious state ofaviation relations between Mexico and the United States.

The services provided byTANSA satisfy a continuing commercial need. Theyfoster business activities and economic opportunities between Mexico and the United States and therebyfurtherthe objectives ofthe North

Y TANSA holds Part 129 Operations Specifications from the FAA International Field Office in Dallas/FortWorth under FAA Certificate NumberT8NF680F. The company's largest aircraft, a Dassault Falcon 2000 EX, is configured for 11 passenger seats.TRANSPORTACION AEREA DEL NORTE, S.A. de C.V. Renewal of Exemption American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Accordingly, renewal ofall elements ofTANSA's authoritywould be in the public interest.

4. TANSA's renewal application is limited in scope and is nonPage4

controversial. TANSA's proposed airtransportation 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 executivejet aircraft.
WHEREFORE, Transportacion Aerea del Norte, S.A. de C.V. respectfully requests renewal of its authorityto engage in charterforeign air transportation ofpassengers between Mexico and the United States using small aircraft, as setforth herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest. Respectfully submitted,
