ANSWER OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. 

TO MOTION OF DELTA AIR LINES, INC. 

FOR FLEXIBILILTY TO CHANGE GATEWAYS 

 American Airlines, Inc. hereby answers the motion filed 

on July 30, 2012 by Delta Air Lines, Inc., seeking flexibility 

to operate the Detroit-Haneda slots awarded by Order 2010-7-2, 

July 1, 2010, from the Seattle gateway instead. American has 

no objection to Delta’s request provided that all carriers 

holding Haneda slots are granted equivalent relief. 

 In 2004, the Department reached that result regarding 

Brazil frequencies. See Order 2004-6-25, June 28, 2004, p. 5 

(“We have decided to grant [Delta’s] request [to remove citypair restrictions] and to afford the same flexibility to all 

four designated combination carriers for U.S.-Brazil service”). 

If Delta is granted flexibility to move its Haneda slots to 

another gateway, the other U.S. carriers operating to Haneda 

should be permitted to change gateways as well as market 

conditions warrant.

 Respectfully submitted,
