Supplement No. 3 to Application for Renewal and Amendment of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and Motion for Immediate Action

United Air Lines, Inc., pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41102 and the Department's Notice dated August 23, 2005, In the Matter of Streamlining Regulatory Procedures For Licensing U.S. and Foreign Air Carriers, hereby supplements its pending application in Docket OST-1999-5846 for renewal and amendment of its experimental certificate of public convenience and necessity for Route 566 (U.S.-Mexico) to include authority to carry persons, property and mail in foreign air transportation between Denver and Cozumel and between Chicago and San Jose del Cabo.

Supplement No. 4 to Application for Renewal and Amendment of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

United hereby supplements its pending application in Docket OST-1999-5846 for renewal and amendment of its experimental certificate of public convenience and necessity for Route 566 to include authority to carry persons, property and mail in foreign air transportation between Los Angeles and Cancun and between Chicago and Puerto Vallarta.

Additionally, United is contemporaneously advising the Department of the dormancy of several of the U.S.-Mexico city-pair route segments included in the Supplement to its application herein filed on December 10, 2004. Therefore, United requests that of the route segments listed in that supplement, only Charlotte-Mexico City and Charlotte Cozumel be included in its certificate for Route 566. Further, United notes that the recently signed agreement between the United States and Mexico separated Mexico City and Toluca for the purposes of designations for service to Mexico. Although United's current certificate for Route 566 includes the designation for Mexico City/Toluca, United is not designated for service to Toluca under the new agreement and its certificate, as renewed and amended, should not include that point. To clarify for the Department what authority should he included in United's renewed and amended certificate for Route 566, Attachment A hereto lists all U.S.-Mexico authority that United currently has and that has been requested to be renewed or added to its certificate for Route 566 in this docket.

Supplement No. 5

United here by supplements its pending application in Docket OST-1999-5846 for renewal and amendment of its experimental certificate of public convenience and necessity for Route 566 (US-Mexico) to include authority to carry persons, property and mail in foreign air transportation between Chicago, Illinois and Cancun, Mexico.

Additionally, United is contemporaneously advising the Department of the withdrawal of its request to include the Denver-Cozumel city-pair route segment in its Certificate. That city-pair route segment, which had been included in a previous supplement, has since become dormant. United is no longer seeking inclusion of that city-pair rouge segment in its Certificate for Route 566.
