Re: Statement of Authorization - (Stamp is on Page 3)

Aerolitoral requests authonzation allowing it to wet lease aircraft on a long-term basis to Aeromexico, a flag carrier of Mexico, for the provision of service in the Montetrey, Mexico-Brownsville, Texas market. Aerolitoral requests that the authorization be effective for one year.

DOT Attachment

We have decided to grant Aerolitoral authority to wet lease small equipment to Aeromexico through July 8, 1999, coextensive with Aeromexico's underlying authority to conduct scheduled operations in the Monterrey-Brownsville market. We find that the proposed operation meets the requirements of Part 212 and is in the public interest.In taking this action, we note that our overall aviation relationship with Mexico supports grant of this authority and note that there is no evidence in the record of this case showing that Mexican authorities would act unfavorably on analogous wetlease requests by U.S. carriers, or would limit durations of such authority to only six months. We also note that the operation proposed by Aerolitoral will enable Aeromexico to conduct bilaterally-agreed services in the U.S.-Mexico market.As a final matter, we emphasize that we share Northwest's desire for an acceptable code-share arrangement with Mexico. Moreover, we expect favorable action on analogous wet-lease requests filed by U.S. carriers with the Government of Mexico. Should such favorable action not be forthcoming, we reserve our right to alter our decision in this case.

Application for Amendment

Aerolitoral and its predecessors traditionally operated small aircraft such as Fairchild Metro III, Saab 340B, and Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft with less than 60 passenger seats. As a result, all authority Aerolitoral applied for and received from the Department was limited to operations using small aircraft. However, to Aerolitoral's knowledge, its designations under the U.S.-Mexico bilateral aviation agreement, as amended, do not include such a limitation, nor is its homeland economic authority so limited.

Aerolitoral now has added its first large aircraft, an Embraer ERJ 190-100LR aircraft (which is advertised by Embraer with configurations ranging from 94 to 114 passenger seats) to its fleet of 33-seat Saab 340B and 50-seat Embraer ERJ145 aircraft. The first ERJ190, registered in Mexico as XA-AAC, and additional ERJ190s will be subleased from Aeromexico, which in turn is leasing them from Celestial Aviation Trading 15 Limited of Ireland. Heavy maintenance for these aircraft will be provided by Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services, Inc., which holds the necessary DGAC authorization, and Aerolitoral mechanics and local contractors will provide line maintenance.
