JOINT APPLICATION OF DELTA AIR LINES, INC.,

CZECH AIRLINES, J.S.C. , AND ENDEAVOR AIRLINES, INC.

, FOR A STATEMENT OF AUTHORIZATION

Delta A ir Lines, Inc. (“Delta”), Czech Airlines, J.S.C. (“ Czech ”)

, and Endeavor

Airlines, Inc. (“ Endeavor ”) (together, the “Joint Applicants”) hereby app ly for authority to

expand Czech ’s existing codesharing on Delta to include Delta C onnection operations by

Endeavor . Specifically, pursuan t to 14 C.F.R. Part 212, Endeavor seeks a blanket

statement o f authorization allowing Endeavor to display Czech ’ s “ O K *” code on D elta

Connection flights Endeavor operates : (a) within the United States (in conjunction with

Czech ’ s services in foreign air transportation), and (b) between the United States and third

countries. 1 Endeavor requests that its statement of autho rization be valid for an indefinite

period subject to the Department’s normal code share conditions. 2

In support of this Jo int Applicatio n, Delta, Czech , and Endeavor state as follows:

1. Endeavor is a certificated U.S. air carrier that operates flights fo r marketing

and sale by Delta.

1 To the extent necessary, the Joint Applicants request consolidation of this appl ication into Docket

DOT

- OST

- 2000

- 8207 , the Docket established by the Department for the administration of the grant

of the blanket statements of authorization issued to Czech and Delta.

2 The Joint Applicants request a waiver of the 45

- day advance filing requirement for codeshare

statements o f authorization under 14 C.F.R. Part 212 so that the proposed codeshare services may

begin without delay.Joint Application of Delta, Czech, and Endeavor

Page 2

2. The Department has previously approved Delta/ Czech blanket statements

of authorization for reciprocal codesharing. See Department Action on Application filed

March 5, 2001 in Docket DOT

- OST

- 200 0

- 8207 . The proposed services are fully

consistent with the Department’s prior codeshare approval and with the U.S.

- EU Open

Skies Agreement.

3. Delta, Czech

, and Endeavor have agreed to expand codesharing to

encom p ass flights operated by Endeavor on Delta’s behalf. Accordingly, the Join t

Applicants request a blanket statement of authorization under 14 C.F .R. Part 212,

permitting Endeavor to display Czech ’s “ O K *” designator cod e on flights operated by

Endeavor : (a) within the United S tates (in conjunction with Czech ’s services in foreign air

Delta/ Czech codeshare agreement previously approved by the Department and a n

ancill ary Delta/ Czech / Endeavor agreeme nt. A redacted copy of th e ancillary

5. The same public interest considerations that supported the grant of

codes hare authority to Czech and Delta apply with equal force to the services operated by

Endeavor on behalf of Delta. C zech and Delta have a longstanding codesharing

relationship, and grant of this applic ation will enable Czech to further expand its on

- line

- U.S. cities.

6. The Joint Applicants’ initial codeshare m arkets are lis ted at Exhibit A to the
