OST-2004-19436 - Exemptions and Codeshare Statement of Authorization - Mexico City-Washington

October 19, 2004

Joint Application for Exemptions and Codeshare Statement of Authorization

By this application, Aeromexico seeks an exemption to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Mexico City and Washington, D.C. Aeromexico proposes to initially offer daily nonstop service on the route with B-737-700 aircraft, serving Dulles International Airport. Currently, United Airlines, Inc., operates daily nonstop service on the route and also carries the designator code of US Airways, Inc., so Aeromexico 's proposed service will provide direct competition to United/US Airways, which will generate significant benefits for the traveling and shipping public. In addition, Aeromexico proposes to carry Delta's "DL" designator code on the route, which will enable Delta to offer additional competitive options

Application for Renewal of Exemptions

Delta hereby applies under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 for renewal of exemptions authorizing Delta to continue to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on the U.S.-Mexico routes identified in Exhibit A. This renewal application encompasses multiple docketed exemptions that Delta relies upon to provide nonstop U.S.-Mexico services either with its own aircraft or pursuant to a codeshare arrangement with Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. Delta requests that these exemptions be renewed for a period of at least two years, with a common expiration date, or until 90 days after the Department's final determination on Delta's application for amended certificate authority as it pertains to each of the routes identified herein, filed on November 30, 2004 and supplemented on October 17, 2005 in Docket OST-1999-6275, whichever occurs earlier. The establishment of a common renewal date will promote administrative efficiency and reduce the burden on Delta and the Department in maintaining these multiple and non-controversial U.S.-Mexico exemption authorities.
