Application for Renewal of Exemption Authority

By this application, Aeromexico seeks renewal of its exemption authority to provide service between Leon/Bajio and Morelia, on the one hand, and Ontario, on the other. The authority currently is set to expire on December 2, 2006. Aeromexico is offering several weekly nonstop round trips in the Leon/Bajio-Ontario market with MD80 Series aircraft, and it desires to renew the authority so that it will be able to continue that service. Aeromexico's service in this market has resulted in significant benefits for the traveling public and has improved air service between Mexico and the United States. Aeromexico currently is offering connecting service in the Morelia-Ontario market, but intends to institute nonstop service when warranted by traffic volumes and would like to renew the authority.
