OST-99-5391

Delta Air Lines, Inc.

On or about June 1, 1999, Delta plans to expand its U.S.-U.K. third-country codeshare offerings with Societe Air France by adding service to Birmingham, a point for which Delta does not hold underlying authority. However, in order to allow Delta to benefit fully from the rights available to U.S. carriers under the MOC, and to implement other new U.S.U.K. services to points for which it does not yet hold underlying authority, Delta is hereby applying for exemption authority that would allow Delta to serve any point in the United Kingdom (except Heathrow and Gatwick).  Delta is not seeking any limited-entry authority in this application. Delta's requested exemption is fully consistent with the MOC, and the prompt approval of this application will permit Delta rapidly to implement new services, without the regulatory burden of submitting additional discrete exemption requests for services that are plainly authorized under the bilateral.

Application for Renewal of Exemptions

Hereby applies under 49 U.S.C. § 40109 for renewal of Delta's exemption authorities to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between the United States and each of the points identified in Exhibit A. Delta also requests continuation of its authority to combine services operated under these exemptions with all other Delta services authorized by its existing certificates and exemptions, to the extent permitted by applicable international agreements.

Pursuant to these exemptions, Delta provides bilateral, third-country and intra-country codeshare service between the United States and numerous foreign points in conjunction with SkyTeam alliance partners Societe Air France, Alitalia-Linee Aeree Italiane- S.p. A., Czech Airlines, and Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd., and codeshare partners Royal Air Maroc, China Southern Airlines Company Limited, and Jersey European Airways (UK) Limited, trading as FlyBE.

In addition, on May 11, 2000, Delta filed a renewal application for its exemption authority to serve additional points in Europe, Africa and Asia on a third-country codeshare basis (Dockets OST-96-1598 and OST-96-1510); on June 20, 2003, Delta filed a renewal application for its exemption authority to serve Vietnam on a third-country codeshare basis (Docket OST-2000-7078); and on October 14, 2003, Delta filed a renewal application for its exemption authority to serve Portugal (Docket OST-99-6721). These applications remain pending. Delta urges the Department to grant renewal of these applications concurrently and coextensively with the authority requested herein, for the same administrative efficiency reasons.
