                            SUPPLEMENT TO ATTACHMENT 1

Revised Answer to Question 12

As explained in response to Question 14, the French State, Dassault Aviation, S.A., and Groupe
Industriel Marcel Dassault (“GIMD”) indirectly own more than 25 percent of the Applicant.
Having consulted publicly available information, the Applicant has not been able to identify a
foreign carrier that is controlled by either the French State,1 Dassault Aviation, S.A., or GIMD.2




1
       Although the French State at one time owned a controlling interest in France Telecom,
       now called Orange SA, this is no longer the case. The French State currently owns
       (together with the Fonds Stratégique d’Investissement) 27 percent of the equity in Orange
       SA, and it has the right to appoint only 3 of the 14 members of the company’s board of
       directors.
2
       As discussed in footnote 1 of the Supplement to Attachment 2, GIMD is a private holding
       company owned by the Dassault family. The percentages of the equity and voting rights
       held by the owners of GIMD are not public. Serge Dassault is Chief Executive Officer
       and Chairman of GIMD. Having consulted publicly available information, the Applicant
       has not been able to identify a foreign carrier that is controlled by Serge Dassault.
