30-DAY NOTICE

The Department has established this consolidated docket for the
administration of the blanket codeshare statements of authorization held
by Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”), Czech Airlines (“CSA”) and
Delta’s connection carrier affiliates, Atlantic Southeast Airlines,
Inc. (“ASA”) and Comair, Inc. (“Comair”).  Pursuant to the
blanket statements of authorization granted to Delta and CSA (February
27, 2001), CSA and Comair (March 16, 2001), and CSA and ASA (March 16,
2001), Delta, CSA, ASA and Comair submit this 30-day notice of
additional codesharing as set forth below.

1.	Effective June 15, 2002, CSA plans to display its “OK” designator
code on flights operated by Comair between New York (JFK) and
Philadelphia (PHL).

2.	In addition, Delta hereby notifies the Department that notice given
for a service point by Delta or either of its connection carrier
affiliates, ASA and Comair, should be deemed notice given for all three
carriers.  This will assist Delta in maintaining the most efficient
allocation of flying between mainline and connection carriers, without
undue administrative burdens.  The Department has previously granted
Delta and other carriers similar flexibility.  See, e.g., Department
Action on Delta/SAA/Comair Application in Docket OST-99-6556 (August 27,
2001).

3.	Similarly, Delta and CSA notify the Department that notice given for
any domestic U.S. or beyond service point should be deemed notice for
service via any or all of Delta’s and CSA’s authorized U.S.
transatlantic gateways.  The Department has allowed similar flexibility
to blanket statement of authorization holders from other open skies
countries.  See, e.g., Delta/ASA/Comair/Alitalia, Docket OST-2001-10417.

4.	This 30-day notice and integration of previously-issued blanket
codeshare authorities will simplify and reduce the burden on Delta, CSA
and the Department in maintaining the above-referenced codeshare
statements of authorization.

Respectfully submitted,

	/s/						/s/
