WHEREAS, the Carriers desire to enter into a Codeshare arrangement with respect to scheduled passenger air transportation services operated over one or more city pair routes served by the Carriers. This Agreement will improve the ability of the Carriers to market and sell enhanced air transportation services to increase traffic on the aircraft operated by both Carriers and to increase the quality and quantity of air service available to the traveling public.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Frontier and Volaris hereby agree as follows:

1.	DEFINITIONS

1.1

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning ascribed to them in Schedule A.

The Parties shall mutually designate certain flights on which the Parties shall Codeshare. Additions or changes to Codeshare Routes will be agreed upon pursuant to procedures contained in the Codeshare Procedures Manual, and shall not require amendment of this Agreement.

2.2

The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate their service schedules, consistent with Applicable Law, to maximize the convenience and minimize the waiting time of passengers making connections between the Codeshare Flights and other flights operated by the Parties. However, each Party retains the right to determine its own schedule and to add or remove capacity in any market at its absolute and sole discretion.

2.3

To the extent reasonably practicable, each Party will notify the other of any proposed schedule changes for Codeshare Flights.

2.4

Each Party shall ensure that the identity of the Operating Carrier shall clearly appear in all of its schedule publications in accordance with Applicable Law.

3.	CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REGULATORY STANDARDS

3.1

Coordination of customer service will be addressed in the Codeshare Procedures Manual, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

3.2

Subject to Applicable Law, the Conditions of Carriage of the Marketing Carrier, including its limits of liability to passengers, shall govern the transportation of Codeshare Passengers, and the Conditions of Carriage of the Operating Carrier, including its limits of liability to passengers, shall apply to those passengers traveling on the Codeshare Flights under the Code of the Operating Carrier. Prior to the implementation of Codesharing, the Carriers will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify any material discrepancies between their respective Conditions of Carriage and use commercially reasonable efforts to develop procedures to minimize potential service inconvenience or disruption to Codeshare Passengers due to such discrepancies. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.2, the liability of the Parties to each other with respect to passenger claims and customer service shall be detailed in the Codeshare Procedures Manual.

3.3

The Operating Carrier shall have sole responsibility for and control over its operations, and the Marketing Carrier shall have no responsibility for, or control over, any aspect of the operations of the Operating Carrier.

3.4

Each Carrier, whether in its capacity as Marketing Carrier or Operating Carrier, shall provide the same standard of airport and in-flight services to Codeshare Passengers as it provides to its non-Codeshare Passengers traveling in the same or comparable class of service. Inventory classification, loyalty program category, customer service standards, general passenger service procedures, and policies for the Codeshare Flights, including baggage services, will be developed by the Parties during the codeshare implementation, and will be incorporated into the Codeshare Procedures Manual.

3.5

The Carriers agree to cooperate, to the extent feasible and subject to compliance with Applicable Law, to ensure harmonization of their respective security and emergency response policies and procedures and to incorporate them into a separate document entitled “Emergency Response Coordination”.

3.6

5.	INVENTORY CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

5.1

Subject to Applicable Law and the rights of each Party to manage its seat inventory, including the seat inventory on the operational flights of any other airline(s) that the Party has access to, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the best solution to maintain the integrity of the Operating Carrier’s inventory system and not compromise the Marketing Carrier’s ability to sell its product. Accordingly, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the following initiatives:

establish seamless availability and direct sell links between their respective ARS.

establish the ability to make advance seat assignments on each other’s flights. Each of the Parties further agrees to expend such amounts as may be reasonably required on mutually agreed systems development, as agreed in advance. To the extent the Parties disagree about which Party’s system should be modified to make it more compatible with the other Party’s system, the Parties agree to continue to work together to use commercially reasonable efforts to modify their systems.

Notwithstanding the above, detailed procedures for implementing and maintaining seat inventory access will be developed by the Parties during the codeshare implementation and will be incorporated into the Codeshare Procedures Manual.

5.2

The Operating Carrier will, subject to the remaining provisions of this paragraph and Section 5.l, determine, independently and at its sole discretion the number of seats on its flights (including flights it operates as Codeshare Flights) that will be made available by it in a particular reservation booking designator, provided that the Operating Carrier does not discriminate against the Marketing Carrier vis a vis other air carriers with respect to inventory access. [***]

5.3

Each Carrier shall be free to establish fares and rates independently, subject to the provisions of the applicable air transport agreements between the United States and Mexico, provided, however, that each Carrier agrees, when acting as the Marketing Carrier, to make commercially reasonable efforts to observe the following guidelines with respect to the fares filed by the Marketing Carrier for the Codeshare Services operated by the Operating Carrier (including, if such codesharing is implemented, its Affiliates). The term “fares” (as used in this Section 5.3) shall be the published fare inclusive of all fare rules and incentives, if any.

The Marketing Carrier is not obligated to file the same number of fares for sale as the Operating Carrier, although the fares it does file must substantially follow the guidelines below:

On city-pair routes in which the Marketing Carrier offers no service, the Marketing Carrier may only sell seats on the Operating Carrier’s Codeshare Services [***];

iv.

On city-pair routes where the Marketing Carrier on a one-stop connecting service also operates its own non stop service, the fares of the Marketing Carrier for Codeshare itineraries will be [***].

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either Carrier from [***]. Except for the guidelines set forth above, each Party shall independently set fares and incentives, in accordance with and subject to all applicable laws.

5.4

While the Parties may independently consider schedule and route changes to maximize Codeshare Passengers and revenues and to maximize the convenience and minimize the waiting time of Codeshare Passengers making connections between Codeshare Flights and other flights operated by the Carriers, neither Carrier will be obligated to operate any specific flights or service schedules and each Carrier retains the right to determine the service schedules of its own flights in its absolute and sole discretion.
