JOINT APPLICATION FOR AMENDED STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION AND MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”), Pinnacle Airlines, Inc. (“Pinnacle”), and Société Air

France (“Air France”) hereby jointly apply for an amendment to Pinnacle’s existing

statement of authorization to permit Pinnacle to display Air France’s “AF” designator code

on flights operated by Pinnacle on behalf of Delta. 1

Pinnacle previously operated, and received its initial Statement of Authorization in

this docket, as a Northwest Airlink carrier operating on behalf of Northwest Airlines, Inc.

(“Northwest”). 2 As the Department is well aware, Delta and Northwest have merged and

are in the final process of integrating their consolidated operations under the Delta brand.

Pinnacle has previously registered the “Delta Connection” trade name with the

Department.

Accordingly, to the extent necessary, Pinnacle requests that its statement of

authorization be amended to permit the display of the AF designator code on flights

operated as Delta Connection on behalf of Delta. An agreement to reflect codesharing

under the Delta Connection trade name between Air France and Pinnacle is attached

hereto.

1 To the extent necessary, the Joint Applicants request that this application be consolidated under Docket OST-2000-6939, the docket established for the collective administration of all Delta/Air France codesharing.
