OST-1999-6151 - US-Aruba

Application for Renewal of Exemption

Such authority continues to be governed by and consistent with the July 22, 1997 open skies agreement between the United States and Aruba. Delta's existing service to Aruba from Atlanta and New York provides strong competition with services to Aruba that are operated by other U.S. and foreign flag carriers. Renewal of Delta's authority will allow Delta to continue to provide these important competitive services to consumers and to introduce new services that are consistent with the U.S.-Aruba open skies agreement as market conditions warrant.

Notice of Action Taken | Word

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between a point or points in the United States and a point or points in Aruba, directly, via intermediate points, and beyond, and to integrate this authority with its existing exemption and certificate authority.

In the present application, Delta references a pending application for corresponding certificate authority in Docket OST-1999-6246. We will handle the certificate request separately.

The carrier’s request for route integration authority has been superseded by Order 2006-1-1, where the Department awarded the carrier a blanket route integration certificate.
