Application for Renewal of Temporary Exemption to Operate Cargo Charter and Scheduled All-Cargo Exemption Authority

ESTAFETA submits this application for the renewal of the all-cargo service exemption issued on October 13, 2005, (Notice of Action taken--Docket OST-2001-8630) authorizing ESTAFETA to engage in the cargo charter transportation of property between points in Mexico, on the one hand, and points in the United States, on the other, for a period of one year; and scheduled all-cargo services between Chihuahua, Mexico, and Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas; and Merida, Mexico, and Miami, Florida.

Estafeta is currently operating cargo charters between Cancun, Mexico, and Miami, Florida, four times a week. And once a week, it operates using its scheduled authority between Merida and Miami. It asks the
Department to grant it a temporary exemption while the Department processes this application for renewal.

Estafeta will use B737 freighters for this service. Estafeta leases its aircraft and operates them with its own crews.

Counsel: Herbert Rosenthal, 202-785-9773

Exemption under 49 USC § 40109 to permit the applicant to conduct scheduled, all-cargo services between: 1) Chihuahua, Mexico, and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, and; 2) Merida, Mexico, and Miami, Florida. The applicant also requests exemption authority to conduct all-cargo charter operations between Mexico and the United States, and other cargo charters in accordance with 14 CFR Part 212.

Estafeta styled its request in the captioned Docket as a renewal request. We note, however, that the applicant's previous authority in this Docket has lapsed. Our action here thus does not in fact constitute a renewal.

The Department is acting on Estafeta's application prior to the expiration of the 15-day answer period with the consent of all parties served.

Application for Renewal of Its Temporary Section 40109(c) Exemption and for New Scheduled Service Authority

Estafeta leases its aircraft and operates them with its own crews. The carrier began Mexico domestic operations in November 2000. The carrier currently operates a weekly scheduled service between Merida and Miami; and four charters a week between Cancun and Miami.

The likely U.S. points which ESTAFETA will serve on cargo charters are: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, DFW, San Antonio, Houston, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, Atlanta, Washington Dulles, New York JFK, Orlando and Miami. Such flights would depart or enter Mexico at: Merida, San Luis Potosi, Cancun, Tijuana, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Chihuahua, and Monterrey. These are just the anticipated likely origin/destination points for the carrier. Any U.S. airport with appropriate customs facilities night also receive this on-demand service. The U.S.-Mexico charter bilateral establishes the comity and reciprocity required for the granting of this exemption (See Order 1999-7-23).

On February 15, 2007, Estafeta was designated by its government to serve the Cancun-Miami all-cargo scheduled service market. Given the good bilateral relations between our two governments and its designation by the Government of Mexico, Estafeta asks the Department to amend its exemption to include scheduled all-cargo service between Miami and Cancun.
