		Exhibit A

ACES requests underlying exemption authority, for purposes of serving as the non-operating carrier on a codeshare-only basis, to provide service to Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.

AVIANCA requests the same codeshare exemption authority to serve each of the above-named points except Los Angeles (which is already an authorized point in AVIANCA's foreign air carrier permit).

Delta requests a Statement of Authorization to carry the designator codes of ACES and AVIANCA on (i) Delta flights between Atlanta and Bogota, Colombia, and (ii) on Delta flights between ACES's and AVIANCA's authorized U.S. gateways and the following domestic service points: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.

The initial operating plan is for codesharing via Atlanta to Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. and via Fort Lauderdale to Boston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Orlando, and Tampa.

Delta has entered into codesharing agreements with ACES and AVIANCA which will enable the carriers to extend the scope of their U.S.-Colombia services by codesharing on Delta's Bogota-Atlanta flights and on Delta's flights to other major U.S. traffic points from Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, as described above. The agreements also contemplate that Delta will codeshare on flights by ACES and AVIANCA between the U.S. and Colombia and beyond the Colombian gateways to additional points in Colombia. However, the codeshare partners are applying now only for the authorizations necessary for ACES and AVIANCA to place their designator codes on Delta operations. This approach will enable the Department to act expeditiously on those elements of the codesharing agreements that can be processed by the Department without delay and implemented by the parties immediately.

Correspondence of AVIANCA and ACES

The two Colombian carriers, Aeronlineas Centrales de Colombia, S.A. and Aerovias Nacionales de Colombia, S.A., which are jointly owned and controlled, have restructured their operations. ACES, as previously notified to the Department, has suspended all services and AVIANCA will replace ACES on routes to the U.S., including Bogota - Fort Lauderdale, effective on October 16, 2003. The Department has authorized AVIANCA to operate the Bogota - Fort Lauderdale service. (Notice of Action Taken, August 15, 2003, OST 2003-15898.)

The Department also has previously authorized the two Colombian "sister" carriers to codeshare with Delta Air Lines, Inc. on their respective services between Colombia and the U.S. including the authority to carry Delta's code on the Bogota - Fort Lauderdale service operated by ACES. (Notice of Action Taken, August 13, 2003, OST 2003-14057) Due to AVIANCA's replacement of ACES on that route, the parties intend that AVIANCA will carry Delta's code between Bogota and Fort Lauderdale effective October 16, 2003. Accordingly, we request that the Department amend the NOAT to reflect the substitution of AVIANCA for ACES as the carrier carrying Delta's code between Bogota and Fort Lauderdale.

Joint Application for Amended Statements of Authorization and Exemption

The Joint Applicants request that this amendment request be granted as soon as possible, to provide ample time to introduce proposed new codesharing services beginning in February 2004. Initially, the Joint Applicants plan to implement (1) Delta codeshare services on flights operated by AVIANCA over the routing New York-Medellin-Cali, and (2) AVIANCA codeshare services on flights operated by Delta between Ft. Lauderdale and New York (LGA).

Although Delta's code is currently displayed on AVIANCA's nonstop New York-Medellin flights, the existing statement of authorization would not allow Delta's code to be placed on flight segments within Colombia beyond Medellin (or any other gateway except Bogota). Similarly, although AVIANCA's code may be displayed on Delta flights to certain interior U.S. points beyond AVIANCA's U.S. gateways (which include Ft. Lauderdale and New York), the existing statement of authorization and AVIANCA exemption do not include beyond-gateway codeshare service to New York.

Re: Request to Amend Original Notice

By Notice of Action Taken - Docket 2003-14057, August 13, 2003, the Department authorized, inter alia, Aerolineas Centrales de Colombia to carry the code of Delta Air Lines between (1) Fort Lauderdale and Bogota, and (2) Miami and the Colombian coterminal points Cali, Cartegena de Indias, and Medellin. The same Notice authorized Aeronaves Nacionales de Colombia to carry Delta’s code between Miami and the Colombian coterminal points Bogota and Barranquilla. Due to the suspension of all services by ACES, its affiliated carrier, AVIANCA, has replaced ACES operations to the United States, including codeshare services with Delta Air Lines. By Notice issued on October 15, 2003, the Department amended the above-referenced Notice to permit AVIANCA, rather than ACES, to carry Delta’s code between Fort Lauderdale and Bogota.

AVIANCA now requests that the Department further amend the original Notice to permit AVIANCA, rather than ACES, to carry Delta’s code between Miami and the Colombian coterminal points Cali, Cartegena de Indias, and Medellin.
