This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of   Delta Air Lines, Inc.      filed  11/1/00  to:

					 

XX  Renew for two years exemption under 49 U.S.C. 40109 to provide the
following service:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail
between Atlanta, Georgia, and Lima, Peru, and to combine this authority
with its existing certificate and exemption authority.

DISPOSITION

XX  Granted  (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action was effective when taken:  November 22, 2000, through 
November 22, 2002

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

	               Office of International Aviation

XX  The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and Peru. 

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:  XX  Holder’s
certificates of public convenience and necessity

	   XX  Standard exemption conditions (attached)

________________________

Conditions:  The route integration authority requested is granted
subject to the condition that any service provided under this exemption
shall be consistent with all applicable agreements between the United
States and the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in
the award of the route integration authority requested should be
construed as conferring upon Delta rights (including fifth freedom
intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier
entry is limited unless Delta notifies us of its intent to serve such a
market and unless and until the Department has completed any necessary
selection procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be authorized
to exercise such rights; and (b) should there be a request by any
carrier to use the limited-entry route rights that are included in
Delta’s authority by virtue of the route integration exemption granted
here, but that are not then being used by Delta, the holding of such
authority by route integration will not be considered as providing any
preference for Delta in a competitive carrier selection proceeding to
determine which carrier(s) should be entitled to use the authority at
issue.

		

(See Reverse Side)

2

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicant qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that

(1) our action was consistent with Department policy; (2) grant of the
authority was consistent with the public interest; and (3) grant of the
authority would not constitute a major regulatory action under the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.  To the extent not granted,
we denied all requests in the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify,
or revoke the authority granted in this Notice at any time without
hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within ten (10) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
