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. 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. 

In filing this application, Delta invokes the automatic extension provisions of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558 (c), as implemented by 14 C.F.R. Part 377.
