The exemptions in the captioned dockets all have renewal application deadlines within the next several months. Delta requests that these exemptions be renewed for a period of at least two years, with a common expiration date, or until 90 days after the Department's final determination on applications for certificate authority with respect to each route, whichever occurs earlier. The establishment of a common renewal date will promote administrative efficiency and reduce the burden on Delta and the Department in maintaining these multiple and non-controversial U.S.-Mexico exemption authorities.

Application for Renewal of Exemptions

Delta Air Lines, Inc. hereby applies under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 for renewal of exemptions authorizing Delta to continue to provide scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail on the U.S.-Mexico routes identified in Exhibit A. This renewal application encompasses multiple docketed exemptions that Delta relies upon to provide nonstop U.S. Mexico services with its own aircraft or pursuant to codeshare arrangements with Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. or Delta Connection carriers. Delta requests that these exemptions be renewed for a period of at least two years, with a common expiration date, or until 90 days after the Department's final determination on Delta's application for amended certificate authority as it pertains to each of the routes identified herein, filed on November 30, 2004, and supplemented on October 17, 2005, in Docket OST-1999-6275, whichever occurs earlier. The establishment of a common renewal date will promote administrative efficiency and reduce the burden on Delta and the Department in maintaining these multiple non-controversial U.S.-Mexico exemption authorities.

Delta does not seek renewal of route integration authority included with these exemptions because such authority is now covered by its blanket route integration certificate issued by Order 2006-1-1.

In certain instances, Delta holds two exemptions for a single U.S.-Mexico route: one for codesharing service and one for service with its own aircraft. Although it is Delta's understanding that a single "own aircraft" exemption would be sufficient to cover both types of service (just as a city-pair designation authorizes both own-aircraft service and codeshare service), Delta is seeking to renew potentially redundant exemption authority out of an abundance of caution.
