Re:	Notice of Continuation of Codesharing between Northwest Airlines,
Inc. and Air China International Corp. (U.S.-China) (Dockets
OST-98-3901, 99-5443, 00-6806, 00-6819, 00-6909, 01-10172, 01-10603 and
02-11808)

Dear Mr. Gretch:

On April 2, 2003, Northwest Airlines, Inc. (“Northwest”) notified
the Department in the above-referenced dockets that Northwest and Air
China International Corp. (“Air China”) intended to terminate all
codesharing effective June 30, 2003.  This letter is to advise that
Northwest and Air China intend to continue codesharing for purposes of
carriage of mail only.  The carriers therefore do not withdraw their
application in Docket OST-01-10603 to renew and consolidate, and ask the
Department to otherwise maintain their existing authority in the
above-referenced dockets to enable the carriers to continue to codeshare
for purposes of carriage of mail.

Respectfully,

/s/ Megan Rae Rosia /s/

Megan Rae Rosia

Managing Director, Government Affairs 

   & Associate General Counsel
