TMCNet:  Delta and ExpressJet to terminate flying agreement

[July 04, 2008]

Delta and ExpressJet to terminate flying agreement

(Airline Industry Information Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) and ExpressJet have announced that all
ExpressJet Delta Connection operations will be ceased from 1 September
2008.

Currently, ExpressJet operates 23 ERJ-145 aircraft for Delta
Connection. These flights primarily run from Los Angeles and Salt Lake
City. Delta intends for some of these flights, including all of those
from operated from ExpressJet's Salt Lake City hub, to be awarded to
another Delta Connection carrier.

Don Bornhorst, senior vice president of Delta Connection, described the
termination as "a mutual agreement" that should cause minimal impact to
passengers.

Jim Ream, ExpressJet president and chief executive officer, stated that


the cessation of the ExpressJet Delta Connection operations is in the
best interest of ExpressJet, because of "the losses we were
experiencing from our Delta pro-rate flying combined with our ability
to return aircraft to the lessor".

Customers with flights affected by the termination will be contacted by
Delta and offered alternative flights or refunds.
