Docket DOT-OST-2010-0196 

MOTION OF DELTA AIR LINES, INC. 

FOR A SHORT-TERM STARTUP EXTENSION 

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) hereby files this Motion to extend the start up 

deadline for its planned services between Austin, Texas and San Antonio, Texas, on the 

one hand, and Cancun, Mexico, on the other hand, from February 19, 2011 to March 12, 

2011. By NOAT August 6, 2010 in Docket DOT-OST-2010-0196, the Department 

granted Delta, inter alia, an exemption authorizing it to engage in scheduled foreign air 

transportation of persons, property, and mail on the Austin-Cancun and San AntonioCancun routes. Delta’s authority to serve these routes was subject to the condition that 

these services start by February 19, 2011. Delta now intends to start service on these 

two routes on March 12, 2011. The Department has previously granted similar short 

term start-up extensions to Delta and other carriers. Delta believes that it is appropriate 

and consistent with the public interest to do so here.
