OST-1997-2619 - Aerolitoral - Exemption - Mexico-US Charters November 26, 2007 Aerolitoral and its predecessors traditionally operated small aircraft such as Fairchild Metro III, Saab 340B, and Embraer ERJ 145 aircraft with less than 60 passenger seats. As a result, all authority Aerolitoral applied for and received from the Department was limited to operations using small aircraft. However, to Aerolitoral's knowledge, its designations under the U.S.-Mexico bilateral aviation agreement, as amended, do not include such a limitation, nor is its homeland economic authority so limited. Aerolitoral now has added its first large aircraft, an Embraer ERJ 190-100LR aircraft (which is advertised by Embraer with configurations ranging from 94 to 114 passenger seats) to its fleet of 33-seat Saab 340B and 50-seat Embraer ERJ145 aircraft. The first ERJ190, registered in Mexico as XA-AAC, and additional ERJ190s will be subleased from Aeromexico, which in turn is leasing them from Celestial Aviation Trading 15 Limited of Ireland. Heavy maintenance for these aircraft will be provided by Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services, Inc., which holds the necessary DGAC authorization, and Aerolitoral mechanics and local contractors will provide line maintenance.

August 12, 2008 Application for Renewal of an Exemption By this application, Aerolitoral seeks renewal of its exemption, as amended, to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between Hermosillo and Las Vegas and between Culiacan and Phoenix. The authority is scheduled to expire on September 14, 2008. Aerolitoral currently is serving the Hermosillo-Las Vegas route three times per week and it carries the "AM" code. The service is providing significant benefits to the traveling public and Aerolitoral seeks to renew that authority for an additional year. At this time, Aerolitoral is not serving the Culiacan-Phoenix route, but it seeks to renew the nonstop authority so it may provide such service when traffic conditions warrant.
