According to docket OST-2005-22838, dated 25 Oct 05 (http://tinyurl.com/djodc) "XX Emergency exemption for temporary authority under 49 U.S.C. 40109 to provide the following service: Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between the terminal point Denver, Colorado, and the terminal point Merida, Mexico. Frontier states that it will use this temporary authority to evacuate persons stranded in Mexico due to Hurricane Wilma by operating flights two times per day through October 31, 2005, and may also bring some passengers to Merida." While they may be able to sell flights to the general public, I highly doubt they will. The main purpose of the flights is to "evacuate persons stranded in Mexico... and may also bring some passengers to Merida." I looked at the Frontier web page (www.flyfrontier.com) and found nothing on the Merida flights. There was a page on what passengers should do in Cancun (http://tinyurl.com/9xcfd). I see Frontier using this emergency exemption as a way to fly people out of Cancun by using nearby Merida.

Frontier's emergency exemption is for actual passenger service, not just for evacuation. They can sell flights to and from MID under their DOT license In a message dated 10/27/2005 7:10:40 PM Eastern Daylight Time, damiross3@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: Frontier is also operating flights out of Meridia under an emergency exemption from the DOT.
