MOTION OF

UNITED AIR LINES, INC.

United 1 requests the Department to further amend Notice of Action Taken dated May 23,

20 08 as amended by Notice of Action Taken dated September 1, 2009, to convert United’s

remaining three U.S.

- Russia year

- round frequencies to seasonal use

. United intends to operate

Moscow service on a summer seasonal basis, and it will monitor market condit ions to adjust

future capacity as demand warrants.

In support of its request, United s ubmit s the following:

1. Grant of this seasonal service flexibility is clearly in the public interest since it will

allow United to make seasonal adjustments as demand fluc tuations warrant , and it will not

adversely impact any other U.S. carrier since additional frequencies are available for allocation

in the event a nother carrier proposes new flights to Russia

.
