MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME

Delta and the Virgin Blue Group respectfully move the Department for an

extension of time to respond to Show Cause Order 2009-10-4. The applicants request

a three week extension, so that objections or comments would be due on October 13,

2010, rather than September 22, 2010.

Good cause exists for granting this request. The Department identified a number

of concerns in the Show Cause Order, which the applicants believe require specific and

detailed responses. While the applicants are ve ry anxious to bring this proceeding to a

successful conclusion, we believe that the additional time will assist the development of

a more complete record, and enable the applicants to address the issues identified in the

Show Cause Order which led to the tentative conclusions.

The Joint Application is unopposed and therefore allowing the applicants

sufficient time to develop their response will not prejudice any other party. TheMotion of Delta and Virgin Blue Group Page 2

applicants will conduct a poll of the carrier representatives served with this Motion and

advise the Department of the results.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Anita M. Moser
