Ethiopian Airlines Enterprise (Initial Foreign Air Carrier Permit, Addis Ababa-Washington Dulles via Rome)

Motion of Ethiopian to Shorten Answer Period

Consolidated Answer of Delta Air Lines
In light of the fact that the only feasible way for U.S. carriers, such as Delta, to institute competitive service to Ethiopia is through third-country codeshare arrangements, it is important for the Department to seek clarification that the Government of Ethiopia will authorize U.S. carrier requests to serve to Ethiopia on a third-country code-share basis. This is particularly true since once Ethiopian Airlines' current U.S. service objectives are fulfilled, there will be little bargaining leverage to ensure the grant of U.S. carrier requests.

Reply of Ethiopian Airlines to Answer of Delta
Air Lines
Notably, Delta does not currently seek to provide either direct or code-share service to Ethiopia, has no applications for code-share authority pending either before the U.S. Department of Transportation or Ethiopian's Civil Aviation Authority nor does it presently have an alliance with a carrier serving Addis Ababa. Ethiopia is not one of those points' nor does Delta identify a carrier with which it seeks to code-share to Ethiopia in the future. In fact, the only carrier with current plans to code-share to Ethiopia is United Airlines, which has requested and has been granted, authority to code-share by the Government of Ethiopia. Consistent with the Department's positions in the Asiana/Northwest and Delta/Korean Air Lines matters, Delta's hypothetical objection to Ethiopian Airlines' Application here is no basis for delaying or conditioning Ethiopian's request for operating authority.
