SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] 

3.     Option Aircraft Deposit.

       In consideration of Boeing's grant to Buyer of options to
purchase the Option Aircraft as set forth herein, Buyer will pay
a deposit to Boeing of $200,000 for each Option Aircraft (the
Option Deposit) on the date of this Letter Agreement.  In the
event Buyer exercises an option herein for an Option Aircraft,
the amount of the Option Deposit for such Option Aircraft will be
credited against the first advance payment due for such Option
Aircraft pursuant to the advance payment schedule set forth in
Article 5 of the Agreement.  

In the event that Buyer does not exercise its option to purchase
a particular Option Aircraft pursuant to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option
Deposit for such Option Aircraft.

[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR

5.     Contract Terms.

       Within thirty (30) days after Buyer exercises an option to
purchase Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 4 above, Boeing
and Buyer will use their best reasonable efforts to enter into a
supplemental agreement amending the Agreement to add the
applicable Option Aircraft to the Agreement as a firm Aircraft
(the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement).

In the event the parties have not entered into such an Option
Aircraft Supplemental Agreement within the time period
contemplated herein, either party shall have the right,
exercisable by written or telegraphic notice given to the other
within ten (10) days after such period, to cancel the purchase of
such Option Aircraft.

6.     Cancellation of Option to Purchase.

       Either Boeing or Buyer may cancel the option to purchase
an Option Aircraft if any of the following events are not
accomplished by the respective dates contemplated in this Letter
Agreement, or in the Agreement, as the case may be:

       (i)     purchase of the Aircraft under the Agreement for
any reason not attributable to the cancelling party;

       (ii)    payment by Buyer of the Option Deposit with
respect to such Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 3 herein;
or

       (iii)   exercise of the option to purchase such Option
Aircraft pursuant to the terms hereof.

Any cancellation of an option to purchase by Boeing which is
based on the termination of the purchase of an Aircraft under the
Agreement shall be on a one-for-one basis, for each Aircraft so
terminated.

Cancellation of an option to purchase provided by this letter
agreement shall be caused by either party giving written notice
to the other within ten (10) days after the respective date in
question.  Upon receipt of such notice, all rights and
obligations of the parties with respect to an Option Aircraft for
which the option to purchase has been cancelled shall thereupon
terminate.

Boeing shall promptly refund to Buyer, without interest, any
payments received from Buyer with respect to the affected Option
Aircraft.  Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option Deposit
unless cancellation is attributable to Boeing's fault, in which
case the Option Deposit shall also be returned to Buyer without
interest.

7.     Applicability.

       Except as otherwise specifically provided, limited or
excluded herein, all Option Aircraft that are added to the
Agreement by an Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement as firm
Aircraft shall benefit from all the applicable terms, conditions
and provisions of the Agreement.

If the foregoing accurately reflects your understanding of the
matters treated herein, please so indicate by signature below.

Very truly yours,

1.     Option Aircraft Description and Changes.

       1.1     Aircraft Description.  The Option Aircraft are 
described by Boeing Detail Specification D6-38808, Revision E,
dated September 15, 1995, as amended and revised pursuant to the
Agreement.

       1.2     Changes.  The Option Aircraft Detail Specification
shall be revised to include:

               (1)    Changes applicable to the basic Model 737-
800 aircraft which are developed by Boeing between the date of
the Detail Specification and the signing of an Option Aircraft
Supplemental Agreement.

               (2)    Changes mutually agreed upon.

               (3)    Changes required to obtain a Standard
Certificate of Airworthiness.

       1.3     Effect of Changes.    Changes to the Detail
Specification pursuant to the provisions of the clauses above
shall include the effects of such changes upon Option Aircraft
weight, balance, design and performance.

2.     Price Description.

       2.1     Price Adjustments.

               2.1.1  Base Price Adjustments.  The base aircraft
price (pursuant to Article 3 of the Agreement) of the Option
Aircraft will be adjusted to Boeing's and the engine
manufacturer's then-current prices as of the date of execution of
the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement.

               2.1.2  Special Features.  The price for special
features incorporated in the Option Aircraft Detail Specification
will be adjusted to Boeing's then-current prices for such
features as of the date of execution of the Option Aircraft
Supplemental Agreement [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT
TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] 

               2.1.3  Escalation Adjustments.  The base airframe
and special features price will be escalated according to the
applicable airframe and engine manufacturer escalation provisions
contained in Exhibit D of the Agreement.

Buyer agrees that the engine escalation provisions will be
adjusted if they are changed by the engine manufacturer prior to
signing the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement.  In such
case, the then-current engine escalation provisions in effect at
the time of execution of the Option Aircraft Supplemental
Agreement will be incorporated into such agreement.

               2.1.4  Price Adjustments for Changes.  Boeing may
adjust the basic price and the advance payment base prices for
any changes mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Boeing subsequent
to the date that Buyer and Boeing enter into the Option Aircraft
Supplemental Agreement.

               2.1.5  BFE to SPE.  An estimate of the total price
for items of Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) changed to Seller
Purchased Equipment (SPE) pursuant to the Detail Specification is
included in the Option Aircraft price build-up.  The purchase
price of the Option Aircraft will be adjusted by the price
charged to Boeing for such items plus 10% of such price. 

3.     Advance Payments.

       3.1     Buyer shall pay to Boeing advance payments for the
Option Aircraft pursuant to the schedule for payment of advance
payments provided in the Purchase Agreement.

Option Deposit) on the date of this Letter Agreement.  In the
event Buyer exercises an option herein for an Option Aircraft,
the amount of the Option Deposit for such Option Aircraft will be
credited against the first advance payment due for such Option
Aircraft pursuant to the advance payment schedule set forth in
Article 5 of the Agreement.  

In the event that Buyer does not exercise its option to purchase
a particular Option Aircraft pursuant to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option
Deposit for such Option Aircraft.

4.    Option Exercise.

      To exercise its option to purchase the Option Aircraft,
Buyer shall give written notice thereof to Boeing on or before
the first business day of the month in each Option Exercise Date
shown below:

[CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT] 

5.     Contract Terms.

       Within thirty (30) days after Buyer exercises an option to
purchase Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 4 above, Boeing
and Buyer will use their best reasonable efforts to enter into a
supplemental agreement amending the Agreement to add the
applicable Option Aircraft to the Agreement as a firm Aircraft
(the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement).

In the event the parties have not entered into such an Option
Aircraft Supplemental Agreement within the time period
contemplated herein, either party shall have the right,
exercisable by written or telegraphic notice given to the other
within ten (10) days after such period, to cancel the purchase of
such Option Aircraft.

6.     Cancellation of Option to Purchase.

       Either Boeing or Buyer may cancel the option to purchase
an Option Aircraft if any of the following events are not
accomplished by the respective dates contemplated in this Letter
Agreement, or in the Agreement, as the case may be:

       (i)    purchase of the Aircraft under the Agreement for
any reason not attributable to the cancelling party;

       (ii)   payment by Buyer of the Option Deposit with respect
to such Option Aircraft pursuant to paragraph 3 herein; or

       (iii)  exercise of the option to purchase such Option
Aircraft pursuant to the terms hereof.

Any cancellation of an option to purchase by Boeing which is
based on the termination of the purchase of an Aircraft under the
Agreement shall be on a one-for-one basis, for each Aircraft so
terminated.

Cancellation of an option to purchase provided by this letter
agreement shall be caused by either party giving written notice
to the other within ten (10) days after the respective date in
question.  Upon receipt of such notice, all rights and
obligations of the parties with respect to an Option Aircraft for
which the option to purchase has been cancelled shall thereupon
terminate.

Boeing shall promptly refund to Buyer, without interest, any
payments received from Buyer with respect to the affected Option
Aircraft.  Boeing shall be entitled to retain the Option Deposit
unless cancellation is attributable to Boeing's fault, in which
case the Option Deposit shall also be returned to Buyer without
interest.

7.     Applicability.

       Except as otherwise specifically provided, limited or
excluded herein, all Option Aircraft that are added to the
Agreement by an Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement as firm
Aircraft shall benefit from all the applicable terms, conditions
and provisions of the Agreement.

1.     Option Aircraft Description and Changes.

       1.1    Aircraft Description.  The Option Aircraft are 
described by Boeing Detail Specification D6-38808-42, dated as of
January 6, 1997, as amended and revised pursuant to the
Agreement.

       1.2    Changes.  The Option Aircraft Detail Specification
shall be revised to include:

              (1)    Changes applicable to the basic Model 737-
700 aircraft which are developed by Boeing between the date of
the Detail Specification and the signing of an Option Aircraft
Supplemental Agreement.

              (2)    Changes mutually agreed upon.

              (3)    Changes required to obtain a Standard
Certificate of Airworthiness.

       1.3    Effect of Changes.   Changes to the Detail
Specification pursuant to the provisions of the clauses above
shall include the effects of such changes upon Option Aircraft
weight, balance, design and performance.

2.     Price Description.

       2.1    Price Adjustments.

              2.1.1  Base Price Adjustments.  The base aircraft
price (pursuant to Article 3 of the Agreement) of the Option
Aircraft will be adjusted to Boeing's and the engine
manufacturer's then-current prices as of the date of execution of
the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement.

              2.1.2  Special Features.  The price for special
features incorporated in the Option Aircraft Detail Specification
will be adjusted to Boeing's then-current prices for such
features as of the date of execution of the Option Aircraft
Supplemental Agreement [CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT

              2.1.3  Escalation Adjustments.  The base airframe
and special features price will be escalated according to the
applicable airframe and engine manufacturer escalation provisions
contained in Exhibit D of the Agreement.

Buyer agrees that the engine escalation provisions will be
adjusted if they are changed by the engine manufacturer prior to
signing the Option Aircraft Supplemental Agreement.  In such
case, the then-current engine escalation provisions in effect at
the time of execution of the Option Aircraft Supplemental
Agreement will be incorporated into such agreement.

              2.1.4  Price Adjustments for Changes.  Boeing may
adjust the basic price and the advance payment base prices for
any changes mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Boeing subsequent
to the date that Buyer and Boeing enter into the Option Aircraft
Supplemental Agreement.

              2.1.5  BFE to SPE.  An estimate of the total price
for items of Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) changed to Seller
Purchased Equipment (SPE) pursuant to the Detail Specification is
included in the Option Aircraft price build-up.  The purchase
price of the Option Aircraft will be adjusted by the price
charged to Boeing for such items plus 10% of such price. 

3.     Advance Payments.

       3.1    Buyer shall pay to Boeing advance payments for the
Option Aircraft pursuant to the schedule for payment of advance
payments provided in the Agreement.
