 Re: Sociedad Aeronáutica de Medellín Consolidada S.A. (DOT-OST-2008-0143)

Dear Ms. Wright: 

Sociedad Aeronáutica de Medellín Consolidada S.A. (“SAM”) is a subsidiary of Aerovías 

del Continente Americano S.A. Avianca (“Avianca”) and holds an exemption and statement of 

authorization issued by Notice of Action Taken dated May 21, 2010 in the above-referenced 

docket. Under this authority, SAM has displayed the designator code of Delta Air Lines, Inc. 

(“Delta”) on select SAM flights within Colombia. 

Effective on or about October 11, 2010, SAM will merge with Avianca and will cease to 

exist. Avianca will continue operations on SAM’s former routes, including the display of 

Delta’s designator code. Avianca presently holds an exemption and statements of authorization 

to display Delta’s designator code on Avianca flights in the U.S. – Colombia market, including 

all markets previously served by SAM (see Docket OST-2002-14057). 

Sincerely, 

Richard D. Mathias 

David M. Endersbee 

Counsel for Sociedad Aeronáutica de 

Medellín Consolidada S.A.
