ANSWER OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. 

 American Airlines, Inc. hereby answers the application submitted by Delta Air Lines, Inc. on April 8, 2010 

seeking a frequency allocation to serve between Detroit and 

Sao Paulo. Delta’s application is outside the scope of the 

U.S.-Brazil Memorandum of Understanding of June 26, 2008 

(Attachment B, Annex 1, Section II (2), p. 4 n. 5), and nonresponsive to the Department’s notice of March 23, 2010 

inviting applications. Sao Paulo is not an eligible destination for the new frequencies that take effect on October 1, 

2010. 

 For all the reasons set forth in our motion to 

dismiss of April 12, 2010 (DOT-OST-2010-0090) and reply of 

April 23, 2010 (DOT-OST-2010-0088 and DOT-OST-2010-0090), 

which we incorporate herein by reference, Delta’s Sao Paulo 

application should be dismissed.

 Respectfully submitted,
