Docket OST-2001-10417



NOTICE OF DELTA AIR LINES, INC. 

 AND ALITALIA TEAM S.p.A.

Pursuant to the blanket statement of authorization approved 

 by Department Action on Application in Docket OST-2001-10417 dated
October 26, 2001, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) and Alitalia Team
S.p.A. (“Alitalia Team”) hereby notify the Department that on or
about May 2, 2002, the carriers plan to begin third-country codeshare
service to India by displaying Delta’s “DL” designator code on
flights operated by Alitalia Team between Milan, Italy and Mumbai,
India.  

Delta already holds a U.S.-India codeshare designation and is authorized
to provide service “under code-share arrangements with third-country
carriers.” See, Order 97-21-26 and Notice of Action Taken dated July
30, 2001 (Docket OST-96-1969).  Under the terms of the December 2, 1995
U.S.-India Memorandum of Consultations (“MOC”), there are no limits
on the number of frequencies or third-county gateways from which
designated carriers may operate to India.  Accordingly, no limited-entry
issues are raised by this Notice.

Respectfully submitted,
