APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITY

 

 American Airlines, Inc., under 49 USC 40109 and 14 CFR 

Part 377, hereby applies for renewal of its exemption authority 

in the captioned dockets.

 Renewal of this authority is in the public interest. The 

services provided are consistent with the applicable bilateral 

agreements and, for codesharing, with the Statement of United 

States International Air Transportation Policy, 60 Fed. Reg. 

21841, 21842-43, May 3, 1995.
 In filing this application, American invokes the 

automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure 

Act, as implemented by 14 CFR Part 377. This renewal application is timely since it is being submitted more than 60 days in 

advance of the expiration date in each docket.

 DOT-OST-1996-1353, U.S.-Brazil, most recently renewed on 

May 20, 2011 for a two-year period. American uses this 

authority to operate service to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo 

Horizonte, Brasilia, Manaus, Recife, and Salvador. 

 DOT-OST-2000-6824, U.S.-Hong Kong, most recently renewed 

on April 26, 2011 for a two-year period. American uses this 

authority to display the AA* code on flights operated by Cathay 

Pacific.

 DOT-OST-2002-12496, U.S.-Vietnam, most recently renewed 

on April 14, 2011 for a two-year period. American uses this 

authority to display the AA* code on flights operated by Japan 

Airlines.

 DOT-OST-2006-26387, Miami-Valencia, Venezuela, most 

recently renewed on April 13, 2011 for a two-year period. 

American is awaiting approval from the Venezuelan aeronautical authorities to implement service.

- 2 - 
 DOT-OST-2007-0034, U.S.-Argentina, most recently renewed 

on May 5, 2011 for a two-year period. American uses this 

authority to display the AA* code on flights operated by Lan 

Argentina.

 In response to the Department's letter of June 5, 1995 to 

participants in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program, American 

states that the codeshare arrangements at issue here have no 

impact on American's CRAF commitments.

Respectfully submitted,
