                Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets
of  Atlantic  Coast Airlines Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
as   of   December  31,  2001  and  2002,  and  the  related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity,
and  cash  flows  for each of the years  in  the  three-year
period   ended   December  31,  2002.   These   consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion  on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We   conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with   auditing
standards  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States   of
America.   Those standards require that we plan and  perform
the  audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether  the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.   An
audit   includes  examining,  on  a  test  basis,   evidence
supporting  the  amounts and disclosures  in  the  financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles   used   and  significant   estimates   made   by
management,  as  well  as evaluating the  overall  financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits  provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In   our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements
referred  to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the  financial position of Atlantic Coast Airlines Holdings,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2002,  and
the  results  of their operations and their cash  flows  for
each  of  the years in the three-year period ended  December
31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
