FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AND CERTIFICATE 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 and certificate 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, and renewal of its certificates for a period of at least five years.

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

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

comity and reciprocity, with each of the respective foreign jurisdictions.Delta Air Lines Renewal Application
