|
Delta Air Lines, Inc. OST-2007-29356 - Exemption and Allocation of Frequencies - New York-Cape Town via Dakar September 26, 2007 Application for Exemption and Allocation of Frequencies Delta hereby applies for an exemption and an allocation of three U.S.-South Africa frequencies authorizing Delta to engage in scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between New York, New York, and Cape Town, South Africa, via Dakar, Senegal. Delta's proposed service will be the only direct service operated by a U.S. carrier to Cape Town, complementing its current Atlanta-Dakar-Johannesburg service and further establishing Delta as the leader in the breadth and quality of U.S.-flag service to Africa. Delta requests that its exemption authority be granted for a period of not less than two years or ninety days after corresponding certificate authority is awarded to it, whichever occurs earlier. Delta's proposed new flight between New York and Cape Town, South Africa, via Dakar, Senegal, will operate three times weekly, beginning on or about June 3, 2008, using Boeing 767-300ER aircraft configured with 178 coach and 36 BusinessElite seats. Counsel: Hogan & Hartson, Robert Cohn, 202-637-4999, recohn@hhlaw.com
October 2, 2007 We have polled the US carrier representatives served with the above-referenced Application, and no carrier has objected to the relief sought therein. Accordingly, Delta respectfully urges that the requested authority be granted as soon as possible. Counsel: Hogan & Hartson, Patrick Rizzi, 202-637-5659, prizzi@hhlaw.com
Filed September 26, 2007 | Issued October 16, 2007 Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between New York, New York and Cape Town, South Africa, via Dakar, Senegal. Under the U.S.-South Africa aviation agreement, U.S. carriers may operate 21 weekly scheduled combination frequencies. By Notice of Action Taken dated February 27, 2006, in Docket OST-2006-23924, the Department allocated seven of those frequencies to Delta to serve between Atlanta and Johannesburg via Dakar leaving a total of 14 frequencies available for allocation. Delta's current request for 3 frequencies to serve between New York and Cape Town via Dakar will leave a total of 11 frequencies available for allocation. By: Paul Gretch
January 16, 2008 Application for Allocation of Four Additional US-South Africa Frequencies Hereby applies for an allocation of four additional U.S.-South Africa frequencies for Delta's scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between New York, New York, and Cape Town, South Africa, via Dakar, Senegal. With these additional frequencies, Delta will be able to offer U.S. passengers daily service to Cape Town, complementing its current daily Atlanta-Dakar-Johannesburg service and further establishing Delta as the leader in the provision of quality of U.S.-flag service to Africa. Delta's proposed additional flights between New York and Cape Town, South Africa, via Dakar, Senegal, will operate, beginning on or about June 3, 2008, using Boeing 767-300ER aircraft configured with 185 coach and 36 BusinessElite seats. Delta seeks an allocation of four of those available frequencies so that it may increase its current thrice weekly one-stop New York-Cape Town offering to daily service. Thus, even after granting the frequency allocation requested herein, there will still be seven unused U.S.-South Africa frequencies available for allocation to other carriers. Counsel: Hogan & Hartson, Robert Cohn, 202-637-4999, recohn@hhlaw.com

March 5, 2008 Re: Return of Three South Africa Frequencies Delta currently holds a total of seven frequencies for combination services between New York and Capetown, South Africa, via Dakar, Senegal, for service beginning June 3, 2008. However, Delta now plans to initiate this Capetown service with only four weekly flights. Accordingly, Delta hereby returns three U.S.-South Africa frequencies to the Department’s unallocated pool.
