Joint Application for Exemption and Codeshare Statement of Authorization

Aeromexico and Aeromar respectfully request that the Department grant the following authorizations to permit the Joint Applicants to expand their Mexico-U.S. code-share/blocked-space services:

1. Exemption authority for one year to Aeromexico to the extent necessary to permit Aeromexico to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Monterrey and Reynosa, Mexico, on the one hand, and Corpus Christi, Texas, on the other, via its code share agreement with Aeromar.
2. Statement of authorization for an indefinite period to permit Aeromar to display Aeromexico's "AM" designator code on flights operated by Aeromar between Monterrey and Reynosa, Mexico, on the one hand, and Corpus Christi, Texas, on the other.

Given the imminence of the proposed start-up date, Joint Applicants intend to poll the U.S. airlines listed on the service list and will report the results to the Department.

Re: Will Not Renew Corpus Christi Routes

By Notice of Action Taken dated April 5, 2006, in the above-referenced docket, the Department granted exemption authority to Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. to engage in foreign air transportation between Monterrey, Mexico, and Corpus Christi, Texas. It also deferred action on exemption authority between Reynosa, Mexico, and Corpus Christi, Texas, since the Reynosa airport had not been assessed by TSA. The exemption is to expire on April 5, 2007. Please be advised that Aeromexico does not intend to seek renewal of the Monterrey-Corpus Christi exemption nor does it intend to pursue exemption authority between Reynosa and Corpus Christi.
