Delta Air Lines, Inc.

Delta hereby applies for certificate authority for all of Delta’s existing, or soon to be implemented, U.S.-Mexico transborder routes that are not included in Delta’s U.S.-Mexico certificates of public convenience and necessity (i.e., Routes 562 and 630). Delta is authorized to serve each of the routes that is the subject of this application pursuant to exemption authority granted by the Department, as follows:

· Notice of Action Taken dated August 18, 1999, Docket OST-97-2161 (Houston-Mexico City; Los Angeles-Leon; Miami-Merida).

Hereby supplements its September 28, 1999, application for a new or amended certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing Delta to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail on several U.S.-Mexico routes, by adding the following transborder route to Exhibit A, attached to that application: Las Vegas, Nevada - Mexico City, Mexico.  Delta is today applying for exemption authority that would enable it to begin service between Las Vegas and Mexico City pursuant to its codeshare/blocked-space arrangement with Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. For the reasons stated in Delta’s September 28, 1999, application, the new or amended certificate granted to Delta for its existing U.S.-Mexico transborder routes should include the Las Vegas-Mexico City route as well.

Application for Renewal and Amendment of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

Delta hereby applies for renewal of its certificate authority to engage in scheduled combination service on the U.S. -Mexico route segments currently listed on its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Route 562, as reissued by Order 2000-5-31 (with the exception of the Dallas/Ft. Worth-Cancun, New Orleans-Cancun and Phoenix-Guaymas segments, which are dormant). Delta further applies for new certificate authority for certain U.S.-Mexico routes it currently serves (either with its own aircraft or on a codeshare basis) pursuant to exemption authority. The new and existing routes are identified in Exhibit A. Delta requests that its Route 562 certificate be reissued to include all of these route segments, and that the authority remain in effect for a period of at least five years.

OST-1999-6275 - Delta Air Lines - Mexico Certificate Amendment
OST-2005-21353 - Exemption and Statement of Authorization - San Diego-Mexico City

June 6, 2005

Letter Clarifying Applications

This letter is to clarify Delta's pending applications in the abovereferenced dockets for certificate and exemption authority between San Diego and Mexico City. The San Diego‑Mexico City route is included in Delta's Route 562 certificate and is a route for which Delta sought renewal in its November 30, 2004 application in Docket OST‑1999‑6275. However, Delta has recently provided service on that route on a one‑stop basis pursuant to its codeshare arrangement with Aerovias de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. meaning that Delta's certificate authority is technically dormant.

Consequently, Delta applied for exemption authority in Docket OST2005‑21353 to place Delta's code on nonstop San Diego‑Mexico City flights. Delta requests that the San Diego‑Mexico City route be included on Delta's Route 562 certificate, as renewed and amended, in light of Delta's current plans to resume nonstop service on the route.
