Exhibit 10.4

GULFSTREAM INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES/UNITED AIRLINES
CODE SHARE AND REGULATORY
COOPERATION AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made and entered into by and between UNITED AIR LINES, INC., with its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (“UA”) and Gulfstream International Airlines, Inc., with its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (“3M”), each or both parties individually or collectively referred to as “Carrier” or “Carriers” respectively.

1. INTRODUCTION
3M and UA had entered into a Code Share Agreement dated 04/21/1994 referred to as United Contract Number 122641, in order to increase each Carrier’s opportunities to offer competitive and cost effective air transportation services between points in and beyond the United States and the Bahamas. The agreement also improves the quality of the interline air transportation and cargo services they now offer so as to increase the use of those services by the traveling and shipping public. The Carriers now wish to update and revise certain terms of that agreement, as amended, by superseding and replacing that agreement with this Agreement. This Agreement establishes binding obligations, between the Carriers, expresses the Carriers intentions, and sets forth a framework that provides the basis to accomplish these goals through subsequent agreements and activities.

2. UNDERLYING OPERATIONAL CONCEPT
The Carriers shall use a phased approach to develop and implement parallel marketing and operational programs to create new, value added passenger and cargo services and cost efficiencies by taking advantage of each Carrier’s inherent market strengths.

3.		OBJECTIVES OF THE 3M/UA RELATIONSHIP Through development of the operational relationship contemplated by this Agreement, subject to any and all necessary governmental and regulatory approvals, 3M and UA have implemented Code Share operations as defined in Article 4A and further described in Attachment 1, Sections A and B.
		This Agreement is not intended to restrict either Carrier’s rights to pursue, either independently or collectively, additional access between any points through either route acquisition or the normal government to government bilateral process.

4. PROGRAMS
The Carriers shall develop and implement specific programs to support the objectives defined by this Agreement. The Attachments to this Agreement outline specific actions and responsibilities for implementing these programs. Each of the programs may be incorporated into an existing 3M/UA contract or a new contract, as appropriate. In summary, subject to any and all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, these programs are:

- 1 -

A. CODE SHARE
The Carriers shall develop, in a phased approach; operations, which include using each other’s two-letter airline designator code on the following routes, as further specified in Attachments 1 and 1A (“Code Share”):

[*].

B. CODE SHARE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of an incident involving a Code Share flight, both Carriers agree to implement the emergency procedures specified in Attachment 2.

C. REGULATORY COOPERATION
The Carriers shall work together to secure the underlying governmental and other approvals necessary to implement this marketing relationship.

D. PUBLISHED FARES
The carriers agree to participate in each other’s published fares.

E. PRORATES
On the basis of reciprocity and comity, 3M and UA shall provide broader access to each other’s system through the creation of a Special Prorate Agreement to support the overall program and to stimulate incremental traffic from 3M to UA, and UA to 3M. This shall include special reciprocal protection for 3M or UA passengers on delayed, canceled or oversold flights.

F. FREQUENT FLYER
The Carriers shall cooperate to further enhance passenger loyalty to the 3M/UA product through frequent flyer or loyalty programs as further specified in Attachment 3 (“Frequent Flyer Cooperation”).

G. PREFERENTIAL SELLING
The Carriers shall implement procedures at their respective reservations sales offices to sell the other Carrier, on a “second to on-line” basis and in lieu of competitive off-line offerings in the agreed Code Share markets.

H. SALES
With regard to Inventory Management for Code Share flights the Carriers acknowledge and agree that this is Agreement does not provide for guaranteed block space reservations. Accordingly, neither UA nor 3M is purchasing or guaranteeing the seats allocated to it by the other. Rather, the seats are allocated only for purposes of inventory management. 3M and UA shall each manage, market and sell its allocation of seats on the Code Share flights under its own respective airline designator code. The Carriers agree to communicate as necessary to facilitate such an arrangement.

I. CARGO
On the basis of reciprocity and comity, 3M and UA shall provide broader access to each other’s flight route system through the creation of Cargo (mail and/or freight) Agreement to support the Code Share program and to stimulate

- 2 -

incremental cargo between the Carriers. The scope of such cargo agreement shall be on code share routes described herein.

5. TERM
This Agreement is effective as of April 21, 2003, and shall continue thereafter for three (3) years; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated by either party at that party’s election for convenience and, without cause upon one hundred and eighty (180) days’ prior written notice.

FREQUENT FLYER COOPERATION

During the term of this Agreement, 3M shall participate in the United Mileage Plus Program as follows:

A Mileage Plus Customer shall receive, for each 3M flight, a credit of 500 miles toward his or her Mileage Plus Program account.

Both parties agree to work toward eventual revenue neutrality by using commercially reasonable efforts and by employing the following promotional measures:

A.		3M agrees to collect and provide UA with information on those Mileage Plus Customers requesting Mileage Plus credit for travel on 3M flights. Upon reaching an Accrual Miles accumulation of $[*] USD and having verified that an automated computer system for transfer of accrual miles is in place, UA shall offer one or more defined special award promotions on selected 3M markets for Mileage Plus Members. These special promotions shall be limited in time and scope, in accordance with guidelines and terms set forth by Mileage Plus and in a format that is acceptable to both parties.

C.		UA shall pay 3M $ [*] USD for each free travel coupon awarded excluding transportation taxes. Beginning with calendar year 2003, the net amount owing to either party for the year-to-date shall be limited at $[*] USD. The amounts due to 3M and due to UA shall be settled on an annual basis, effective March 15, for the previous 12 month ending December 31. All coupons lifted during the current calendar year will need to made available to the other party by February 20.
D.		3M may limit the number of seats available for free travel on specified 3M flights and award bookings shall be made in “G” inventory availability. The net amounts due shall be calculated and provided to each party for information but shall not be billed above or beyond the $ [*] USD limit.
E.		UA and 3M agree that redemptions under the existing Mileage Plus Agreement, dated 5/14/1994 will continue to be honored by 3M for awards issued prior to April 21, 2003. No new awards under that agreement (TDD BPG10/BPG20) will be issued after April 21, 2003. Any awards from the existing MileagePlus Agreement flown after April 21 shall be booked in G class and be billed through the clearing house at zero value. 3M, within 60 days of the flown date, shall xxxx UA $[*] per award coupon, which UA shall promptly pay via the next clearinghouse settlement.

- 16 -

UA shall not be required to pay 3M for any coupon billed to UA more than 60 days after the flown date. Settlement of existing award tickets shall be exclusive of the agreed cap for year 2003. 3M and UA further agree that neither carrier shall be liable for any amount due or owed from award redemption or mileage accrual from flights operated during 2002 or prior periods. Customers who were issued coupons by UA for free travel on 3M during the months of January and February, 2003 shall be billed to UA at the rate of $[*] per coupon prior to April 30, 2003.
