("Virgin Australia") on flights operated byVirgin America between Los Angeles ("LAX") and Dallas Love Field ("DAL"), in conjunction with Virgin Australia's scheduled Australia-U.S. services in foreign air transportation (either non-stop or via third-country intermediate points). Virgin America plans to commence these LAX-DAL flights, and discontinue all scheduled service it operates at Dallas/Fort Worth ("DFW"), including LAX-DFW code-share services that display the VA designator code, effective October 13, 2014. To the extent necessary, Virgin America requests a waiver ofthe 30-daynotice condition imposed under the existing blanket statement ofauthorization in order to minimize any disruption to code-share operations in connection with the airline's relocation offlights from

1DFW to DAL. Consistent with such waivers previously granted bythe Department, 1 Virgin America will poll the U.S. carrier representatives served with this notice and waiverrequest and advise the Department ofthe polling results.
