APPLICATION OF DELTA AIR LINES, INC. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITIES

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”), pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 41102 and 14 C.F.R. Part 

377, hereby requests renewal of the exemption authorities set forth in Attachment A, 

which enable Delta to offer scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, 

property and mail between the United States and various foreign points. As specified in 

Attachment A, the international services for which renewal is sought are operated either by 

Delta or its codeshare partners. Delta requests renewal of its exemptions for a period of at 

least two years. 

 The relief requested by Delta is in the public interest for the same reasons that 

supported the original issuance of authority for the subject routes. Delta’s services 

continue to be consistent with the relevant bilateral aviation agreements, or the state of 

comity and reciprocity, with each of the respective foreign jurisdictions.
