OST-2005-23312 - Statement of Authorization - Atlanta-Tel Aviv Codesharing with El Al Israel Airlines

December 8, 2005

Application for a Statement of Authorization

Delta Air Lines, Inc. hereby applies for a statement of authorization under 14 C.F.R. Part 212 to permit Delta to display the LY* airline designator code of El Al Israel Airlines, Ltd. on nonstop flights operated by Delta between Atlanta, Georgia and Tel Aviv, Israel commencing March 27, 2006. Delta requests that this authority be granted as soon as possible and remain in effect for an indefinite term, subject to the Department's standard conditions.

As part of its ongoing international expansion to important global business and tourist destinations, Delta plans to introduce daily nonstop service to Tel Aviv from its Atlanta hub next spring. Delta will provide the only nonstop service to Israel from the Southeastern United States, and the first nonstop service from a U.S. gateway other than New York/Newark. As the national airline of Israel, El Al is eager to participate in Delta's new service by displaying its designator code on Delta's nonstop flights. The proposed cooperative marketing arrangement will benefit both carriers and the traveling public.

The addition of El Al's designator code on Delta's new flights will significantly enhance competition and the price and service options available to consumers seeking transportation between the United States and Israel. Delta and El Al's Atlanta-Tel Aviv service will also help boost commerce and tourism between Israel and the Southeast United States.
