Counsel: Rosen Weinhaus, John Romans, 212-530-4827, jromans@lrjwlaw.com Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. OST-01-9518 - Acapulco-Los Angeles March 30, 2005 Application for Renewal of Exemption Authority By this application, Aeromexico seeks renewal of its exemption authority to provide service between Acapulco, Mexico, and Los Angeles, California, which was last granted by Notice of Action Taken, dated April 30, 2004, and will expire on April 30, 2005. Although Aeromexico has utilized the authority in the past, it currently is not offering nonstop service due to weak demand. Rather, it is serving the market via connecting service at Mexico City Nevertheless, Aeromexico desires to retain the authority so it may resume service when economic conditions improve. Counsel: DLA Piper Rudnick, William Evans, 202-861-6459 OST-1996-1637 - Form 41 - Schedules B-7 and B-43 March 25, 2005 Motion for Confidential Treatment Pursuant to Rule 39 Counsel: Alaska, Peter Kraus, 206-392-5220 OST-00-7668 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - Interstate Scheduled Service Operations March 30, 2005 The fundamental ‑ and fatal ‑ flaw in ALPA's contention is that each of ALPA's repeated efforts to attack BMAC's fitness for certification are wholly lacking in factual or legal merit. As BMAC has previously demonstrated, all of ALPA's attacks on BMAC's fitness are based on alleged violations of the Railway Labor Act, and other alleged noncompliance with laws, asserted to have been committed by persons and corporate entities other than BMAC. BMAC has further demonstrated that, with respect to ALPA's allegations about those other parties, there is considerably less to them than meets the eye. By now it is patently clear that all of ALPA's attacks against BMAC arise out of ALPA's bitter pilot labor dispute with Pan American Airways Corp., a dispute which was at the center of litigation in the Federal District Court for the District of New Hampshire and ultimately the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit. ALPA' s repeated and continuing efforts to invoke its labor dispute with Pan Am in order to delay, harass and defeat the legitimate and commendable efforts of BMAC to expand and improve the economic efficiency of its public service through the addition of large aircraft to its small‑aircraft fleet are unconscionable. BMAC believes that ALPA will not relent in its efforts to inflict delay and financial harm, and to thereby destroy BMAC, unless and until the Department unequivocally rejects ALPA's strategy of pressing its labor grievances under the guise of attacks on BMAC's fitness. Counsel: Zuckert Scoutt, Nathaniel Breed, 202-973-7919, npbreed@zsrlaw.com Cargojet Airways, Ltd. d/b/a Starjet Airways OST-04-17314 - Exemption - Canada-US Passenger and Cargo March 30, 2005 Application for Renewal of Exemption Authority Cargojet, a flag carrier of Canada, has held all-cargo exemption authority from the Department since the year 2000. In 2004 it sought and received authority to expand its authority to include both all-cargo and passenger operations on both a scheduled and charter basis. The Department concluded at that time, based on the exemption application and a contemporaneous permit application that remains pending in Docket OST-2004-17315, that Cargojet was operationally and financially qualified to conduct such operations and that the authority was consistent with the public interest. Nothing has occurred that would invalidate either of those findings, and Cargoj et continues to hold the required Canadian authority. Counsel: DLA Piper Rudnick, John Mietus, Jr., 202-861-6466, john.mietus@dlapiper.com Order 05-03-39 Issued and Served March 30, 2005 This consent order concerns unauthorized air transportation by Contract Air Cargo, Inc., which performed operations as a common carrier without the requisite economic authority from the Department. It directs CAC to cease and desist from such future unlawful conduct and assesses a compromise civil penalty of $350,000.

March 4, 2005 Correspondence of Washington State Congressional Delegation in Support of Alaska Airlines By: Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Norm Dicks, Jim McDermott, Doc Hastings, Jay Inslee, Adam Smith, Brian Baird, Rick Larsen, Cathy McMorris, and Dave Reichert 2001 US-China Codeshare Points Case March 30, 2005 Application of American Airlines for Renewal of Exemption Authority hereby applies for renewal of its exemption authority to serve the following codeshare points in China: Changsha, Chongqing, Dalian, Fuzhou, Guilin, Kunming, Nanning, Shenzhen, and Wuhan. This authority was last renewed by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on June 2, 2003. American's codeshare partner in China is China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited. For technical reasons related to computerized reservations interfaces, American and China Eastern have not yet implemented codeshare service to the points at issue. After receiving final authority to serve the Chicago-Shanghai route in OST-2004-19077, American will enter into discussions with China Eastern to resolve those issues. We accordingly request renewal to retain the ability to add these cities to our route system on a codeshare basis as soon as technical considerations permit.
