-------------------------------------------------------

Conditions:  The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is subject to
the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of Appendix A
of Order 88-10-2.  The U.S.-Mexico exemption authority granted is
subject to the dormancy notice requirements set forth in condition 7 of
Appendix A of Order 88-10-2.  Consistent with our policy, the dormancy
notice period will begin on November 18, 2005, Frontier’s proposed
start-up date for the above-mentioned service.

Responsive Pleadings: Delta Air Lines, Inc. (Delta), United Air Lines,
Inc. (United), and the City of Kansas City (Kansas City) filed answers
in response to certain portions of Frontier’s application.  Frontier
filed a response to the answers of Delta and United.  Kansas City
supports Frontier’s application for Kansas City-Puerto Vallarta
service.  Delta states that it has no objection to Frontier’s request
for Salt Lake City-Puerto Vallarta authority, provided that Delta’s
exemption application for this market is granted simultaneously (see
Delta application in Docket OST-2005-21075).  United states that it has
no objection to Frontier’s request for Denver-Cozumel authority,
provided that United’s exemption application for this market is
granted contemporaneously (see United application in Docket 

OST-2005-21162).  We have, today, granted each of the referenced
applications.

Remarks:  In its application, Frontier requested that the subject
authority be renewed through August 23, 2006.  Consistent with our
standard practice for this type of application, we renewed Frontier’s
authority for two years and dismissed its request for longer-term
authority.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. 
To the extent not granted or dismissed, we denied all requests in the
referenced Dockets.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
