the United States. NAZASalso requests stopover privileges and

relief from the requirement to obtain advance approval for

each Mexico-U.S. flight. NAZAS requests that this exemption ,

be granted for a period of at least one year.

1

In support of this application, and pursuant to the

Department's Procedural Regulations, NAZAS states the following:

1. NAZAS, incorporated in Mexico in 1991, is a privately held

corporation that is 100% owned and controlled by Mexican

Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes Direction General de Aeronautica Civil ( IlDGACIl ) Av. Providencia No. 807, Piso 1-7 Colonia del Valle Delegacion Benito Juarez Mexico, D.F. 03100 MEXICO

3 . As noted above, NAZAS is seeking transborder charter

authority to engage in foreign air transportation of persons and

their belongings without the need for prior Department approval

of each flight, or series of flights. NAZAS is also requesting

stopover privileges.

4. NAZAS is operationally and financially qualified to perform

2

the service for which authority is requested herein. As evidence

thereof:

(a) The Mexican DGAC has issued a permit authorizing

NAZAS to conduct non-scheduled, international air taxi

transportation of passengers in the North and South American

Continents. This permit is valid indefinitely and is attached as

Exhibit B.

(b) In 2004, NAZAS received its DGAC permits and

commenced commercial flight operations. From its base in

Torreon, Coahuila, NAZAS provides air transportation to domestic

and international passengers, consisting of members of the

following institutions which form part of the governing body,

owners, and stock holders of NAZAS:


Future operations, including its proposed U.S. service, are

likely to be a continuation of this type of operation. NAZAS

estimates that it will operate 50 round trip flights

annually between Mexico and the United States with an average

load of five passengers per flight; all of which will originate

in Mexico.

3

(c) NAZAS owns and operates an 8 passenger Beechcraft,

King Air F90 Turboprop aircraft, with Mexican registration

XA-TWB.

(d) NAZAS maintains its aircraft pursuant to a

maintenance service agreement with Aero Servicios Tecnicos

Regiomontanos, S.A., in Monterrey, Mexico; and in accordance with

an airworthiness program approved by the Mexican DGAC in

compliance with ICAO Annexes 1,6 (Part I) and 7.

(e) NAZAS has established a well qualified management

team with the necessary experience in providing domestic and

international air taxi services.

Lic. Miguel A. Rubio has served as the General Manager

of NAZAS since the company was founded in 1991.

Cap. Samuel Belkotosky is the Operations Manager for

NAZAS since 2002, and the company's Chief Pilot.

Lic. Homero Castillejos serves as Administrative

Manager for the company.

4

Capt. Samuel Belkotosky has been with NAZAS since November

2002; he received his Pilot's License in 1973. He received his

Commercial Pilot's License in 1974 and has accumulated over 9600

hours of flight during his years of aviation experience, with

over 160 hours in the Beechcraft F90 King Air. Capt. Belkotosky

is licensed to operate the company's Aircraft. He attends annual

flight training courses at Entrenamiento Aereo Especializado

S.C., in Mexico City, Mexico.

He also holds the position of Chief Pilot in the company.

Capt. Oscar Ortiz has been with NAZAS since its inception in

1991; he received his Pilot's License in 1971. He received his

Commercial Pilot's License in 1990 and has accumulated over

11,100 hours of flight during his years of aviation experience,

with over 120 hours in the Beechcraft F90 King Air. Capt. Ortiz

is licensed to operate the company's Aircraft. He attends annual

flight training courses at Entrenamiento Aereo Especializado

S.C., in Mexico City, Mexico.

He also holds the position Chief of Quality Control in the

company.

A composite of NAZAS's key personnel is shown in Exhibit C.

5

(f) NAZAS's financial statement for calendar year 2006

up to December of 2006 is Exhibit D. As can be seen, NAZAS has

been self-sufficient and fully capable to continue providing

transportation services to the companies enumerated in Paragraph

(9) A copy of OST form 6411, Foreign Air Carriers

Certificate of Insurance, is attached as Exhibit E. As shown

therein, NAZAS's limits of liability exceed the requirements of

14 CFR Part 205.

(h) NAZAS has not been involved in any safety

violations, tariff violations or fatal accidents since its

inception.

(i) NAZAS does not have any agreement or cooperative

working arrangements with any U.S. air carrier affecting its

proposed services to the United States

5. NAZAS's proposed U.S. services are consistent with the public

interest for the following reasons:

(a) NAZAS will be carrying executives to the U.S. on

business, thereby fostering commerce between Mexico and the

United States consistent with the objectives of the North

American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

6

(b) NAZAS I s request for stopover privileges is

consistent with the need of the executives using its services who

will, from time to time, need to stop at two or more places in

the U.S. as part of their round trip itineraries. NAZAS submits

that no regulatory purpose would be served by preventing NAZAS

from responding to the stopover needs of its customers.

WHEREFORE, NAZAS Respectfully requests exemption authority

to engage in charter foreign air transportation of persons and

their accompanying baggage with small aircraft as set forth

herein, and such other relief as may be in the public interest.
