Airline Industry Changes 
The U.S. airline industry continues to face evolutionary changes and consolidations. 
At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport: 
Several airlines have stated desire to relocate and/or consolidate facilities 
Delta merged with Northwest and consolidated on the South Satellite as the first step in
consolidations. Now United and Continental are merging along with Southwest and AirTran. 
Alaska Air Group plans to consolidate their operations to the North Satellite and Concourse C 
The Airport has exercised the provision for a one-time airline reallocation as part of the Airline
Signatory Lease & Operating Agreement (SLOA) with a notice of intent issued on December 9,
2010
