Paul L. Gretch, Director Office of International Aviation (Petitions for review may be filed from now until 10 days after the confirming order/letter issues. Filing of a petition shall not stay the effectiveness of this action.) |

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:
XX Holder's certificate of public convenience and necessity
XX Standard Exemption Conditions (attached)
Remarks: Conditions: The route integration authority granted is 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 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 carrier 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.
