C.A.I. FIRST S.p.A. ) Docket OST-2001-10417

for renewal of exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 ) 

APPLICATION OF C.A.I. FIRST S.p.A. FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 40109 and Subpart C of the Department's Procedural 

Regulations, C.A.I. First S.p.A. ("CAl First"), hereby requests renewal of its exemption from 49 

U.S.C. § 41301 and such other relief as may be necessary to permit it to continue intra-Europe 

code-share operations pursuant to code-share agreements with Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta"). 

In support of this application, CAl First states as follows: 

1. On March 18, 2011, the Department re-issued to CAI First exemption authority, 

for a duration of two years, authorizing CAl First to operate intra-Europe code-share operations 

pursuant to code-share agreements with Delta. 1 CAI First requests that the Department renew 

the authority requested herein for a duration of two years. 

2. CAl First continues to operate these services, providing additional travel 

opportunities to Delta passengers travelling to European destinations. 

3. CAl First remains operationally and financially fit to perform the foreign air 

transportation services encompassed by this authority. Its services continue to be consistent with 

the US-EU Agreement and, therefore, grant of this authority will serve the public interest. By 

1 C.A.I. First does business as "Alitalia Express." 
submitting this timely renewal application, CAl First invokes the automatic renewal extension 

provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 558 (c), as implemented by Part 377 of the Department's Regulations, 

to continue in effect its current exemption authorization for the service specified in this 

application, pending a final determination of this renewal application. 

4. Grant of the renewed authority sought herein will not result in a near term 

increase in fuel consumption of ten million gallons or more, and therefore will not comprise a 

"major regulatory action" under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as defined in 

14 C.F.R. § 313(a)(1). 

WHEREFORE, C.A.I. First S.p.A. respectfully requests that the Department of 

Transportation promptly grant its application for renewal of exemption as more fully described 

herein. 

March 15,2013 

Respectfully submitted,
