APPLICATION OF PRIVILEGE STYLE, S.A.

FOR A STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 212 of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 

regulations, Privilege Style, a foreign air carrier of Spain, hereby applies for a statement 

of authorization (1) for a long term wet lease of one Boeing 767-300 aircraft to Air 

Europa Lineas Aereas, S.A.U. (“Air Europa”), a foreign air carrier of Spain, from June 1 

to October 31, 2014, and (2) to display Delta’s “DL*” designator code on the above 

flights between Madrid, Spain and New York (JFK) pursuant to Air Europa and Delta’s 

existing codesharing agreement.

1

 1 Privilege Style holds Department authority to display Delta’s code on flights between Madrid, Spain and 

Lisbon, Portugal, as well as all previous codeshare points included in the August 26, 2011 Joint 

Application of Delta and Air Europa filed in Docket DOT-OST-2011-0160. See Department Action on 

Application in Dockets DOT-OST 2010-0148 and DOT-OST-2011-0160 (January 30, 2013). To the 

extent necessary, this application will also serve as the notice required pursuant to Condition C of the 

Department’s January 30, 2013 Department Action.
2

Privilege Style requests a waiver of the 45-day advance filing requirement for a 

statement of authorization under Part 212, in order to permit the initiation of this service 

on June 1, 2014.

Privilege Style holds a foreign air carrier permit from the Department authorizing 

U.S.-EU open skies charters (Order 2010-12-14) and has also been issued FAA

Operations Specifications (Certificate GPSF327F). Privilege Style operates wet lease 

and charter flights throughout Spain, Europe and other countries.

The new services requested herein are fully consistent with Air Europa and 

Delta’s existing statement of authorization. To the extent necessary, Privilege Style 

requests that the authority requested here for Delta codesharing on Privilege Style be 

considered within the authority for Delta codesharing on Air Europa in Docket OST2011-0160. Privilege Style incorporates by reference all previous codeshare-points 

included in the August 26, 2011 Notice of Action Taken for Delta/Air Europa blanket 

open skies code sharing.

Privilege Style will follow Air Europa’s Aviation Disaster Family Assistance 

Plan, filed in Docket OST-1998-3304, and Air Europa’s Passenger Manifest Information 

Plan, filed in Docket OST-1998-3305. In November 2012, the FAA reviewed and 

accepted the safety audit of Privilege Style conducted by Delta.

Grant of the authority requested herein is consistent with the U.S.-EU open skies 

Air Transport Agreement of 2011, will serve the public interest, and will enable Air 

Europa and Delta to provide additional service offerings to the travelling public via their 

existing codeshare agreement.
3

WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, Privilege Style respectfully requests 

that the Department grant its request for a statement of authorization as more fully 

described above.

Respectfully submitted,

Josh Romanow
