APPLICATION FOR APPR OVAL OF AGREEMENT

Pursuant to statements subm itted by Member airlines of th e International Air Transport Association (IATA), th e undersigned has been cons tituted to be their attorney -in-fact for filing with the Department of Transportation copies of agreem ents adopted by the IATA Traffic Conferences.

On their behalf, and pursuant to Secti ons 41308 and 41309 of Title 49 of the United States Code and Parts 303.03, 303.05 and 303.30(c) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, I am filing with the Department this application for approval of an IATA

agreement.

This agreement and related f actual and explanatory material s and documentation required by 14 C.F.R. 303.31 and Department and Civ il Aeronautics Board (CAB) precedent are

contained in the IATA Traffic Conf erence documentation summarized above.

This agreement arises from the continui ng process of Services Conferences through

which IATA Member airlines establish standard ized facilitation arrangements intended to ease international air transportation and interline procedures. This agreement was developed in the context of prior Department and CAB ruling a ddressing related agreements which reflected regulatory and market conditions then in e ffect. The present agreement, which makes amendments to the framework agreements form ing the charter for ongoing facilitation programs or creates new agreements pursuant to that framework, should be viewed as part of a dynamic process of IATA Member airline adjustme nt to governmental and economic factors.

On previous occasions, the Departme nt and CAB have found these framework agreements to be consistent with the public inte rest. The present agreement does not impair the previous bases for approval and themselves are not adverse to the public interest. Moreover, approval of this agreement, which reflects compromises among the differing economic and social philosophies of the many nations whose airlines are parties, will advance the public interest in maintaining good aviation relations with other countries.

We request early approval by the Departme nt pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41309 and the grant of full antritrust immunity pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41308. The conferral of full antitrust immunity

### would be in the public interest and necessary for the transaction to proceed. This agreement is a product of the IATA Services Conferences whic h the Department found to be anticompetitive but nevertheless approved and im munized in Order 85-5-32 (May 6, 1985) on foreign policy and comity grounds.

The agreement embodies amendments to serv ices resolutions/recommended practices that have been previously approved and immuni zed or creates new resolutions/recommended practices pursuant to the framework forming the charter for ongoing facilitation programs. Therefore, consistent with the Department’s policy of immunizing amendments coextensively with the underlying agreement, the subj ect agreement should be granted immunity.

Respectfully submitted:

I. NOTICE APPEARING ON THE FACE OF THE AIR WAYBILL

It is agreed that the goods described herein are accepted in apparent good order and condition (except as noted) for carriage SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT ON THE

REVERSE HEREOF. ALL GOODS MAY BE CARRIED BY ANY OTHER MEANS INCLUDING

ROAD OR ANY OTHER CARRIER UNLESS SPECIFIC CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN HEREON BY THE SHIPPER, AND SHIPPER AGREES THAT THE SHIPMENT MAY BE CARRIED

VIA INTERMEDIATE STOPPING PLACES WHICH THE CARRIER DEEMS APPROPRIATE. THE

SHIPPER’S ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE NOTICE CONCERNING CARRIER’S LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Shipper may increase such limitation of liability by declaring a higher value for carriage and paying a supplemental charge if required.

II. CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT ON R EVERSE SIDE OF THE AIR WAYBILL

NOTICE CONCERNING CARRIERS’ LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

If the carriage involves an ultimate destination or stop in a country other than the country of departure, the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention or the Warsaw Convention may be applicable and in most cases limit to the liability of the Carrier in respect of loss of, damage or delay to cargo. Depending on the applicable regime, and unless a higher value is declared, liability of the Carrier may be limited to 19 Speci al Drawing Rights per kilogram under the Montreal Convention; 17 Special Drawing Rights per kilogram under the Warsaw Convention as amended by Montreal Protocol No. 4; or 250 French gold francs per kilogram under the Warsaw Convention (unamended by Montrea l Protocol No. 4), converted into national currency under applicable law, unless a greater amount is specified in the Carrier's conditions of carriage. Carrier's limitation of liability in accordance with those Conventions shall be as set forth in subparagraph 4 unless a higher value is

declared.

∗ This Resolution is in the hands of all IATA Cargo Agents.

1 In order to ensure consistency with any future changes in the conventions underlying this Resolution and/or related government require ments such as a change in liability limits for loss of, damage, or delay to cargo
under Article 24 of the Montreal Conven tion, the IATA Secretariat is authori zed to conform the provisions of

this Resolution 600b (and any other affected Cargo Services Conference Resolutions or Recommended Practices) to such changes without further Conference acti on. Conforming changes shall take effect on the date specified in written notice to Members by the IATA Secretariat which shall include a copy of the revised

Resolution.CSC/32 Finally Adopted Resolutions Page 5 of 39

CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT

1. In this contract and the Notices appearing hereon:

CARRIER includes the air carrier issuing this air waybill and all carriers that carry or undertake to carry the cargo or perform any other services related to such carriage.

SPECIAL DRAWING RIGHT (SDR) is a Special Draw ing Right as defined by the International Monetary Fund.

WARSAW CONVENTION means whichever of the followi ng instruments is applicable to the contract of carriage:

the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air, signed at Warsaw, 12 October 1929;

that Convention as amended at The Hague on 28 September 1955;

that Convention as amended at The Hague 1955 and by Montreal Protocol No. 1, 2, or 4 (1975) as the case may be.

MONTREAL CONVENTION means the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air, done at Montreal on 28 May 1999.

2./2.1 Carriage is subject to the rules relating to liability established by the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention unless such carriage is not “international carriage” as defined by the applicable Conventions.

2.2 To the extent not in conflict with the foregoing, carriage and other related services performed by each Carrier are subject to:

2.2.1 applicable laws and government regulations;

2.2.2 provisions contained in the air waybill, Carrier’s conditions of carriage and related rules, regulations, and timetables (but not the times of departure and arrival stated therein) and applicable tariffs of such Carrier, which are made part hereof, and which may be inspected at any airports or other cargo sales offices from which it operates regular services. When carriage is to/from the USA, the shipper and the consignee are entitled, upon request, to receive a free copy of the Carrier’s conditions of carriage. The Carrier’s conditions of carriage include, but are not limited to:

2.2.2.1 limits on the Carrier’s liability for loss, damage or delay of goods, including fragile or perishable goods;

2.2.2.2 claims restrictions, including time periods within which shippers or consignees must file a claim or bring an action against the Carrier for its acts or omissions, or those of its agents;

3. The agreed stopping places (which may be altered by Carrier in case of necessity) are those places, except the place of departure and place of destination, set forth on the face hereof or shown in Carrier’s timetables as scheduled stopping places for the route. Carriage to be performed hereunder by several successive Carriers is regarded as a single operation.

4. For carriage to which the Montreal Convention does not apply, Carrier’s liability limitation for cargo lost, damaged or delayed shall be 19 SDRs per kilogr am unless a greater per kilogram monetary limit is provided shall not be less than the per kilogram monetary limit set out in any applicable Convention or in Carrier’s tariffs or general conditions of carriage

. for cargo lost, damaged or

5.2 When no part of the consignment is delivered, a claim with respect to such consignment will be considered even though transportation charges thereon are unpaid.

6./6.1 For cargo accepted for carriage, the Warsaw Convention and the Montreal Convention permit shipper to increase the limitation of liability by declaring a higher value for carriage and paying a supplemental charge if required.

6.2 In carriage to which neither the Warsaw Convention nor the Montreal Convention applies Carrier shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in its general conditions of carriage and applicable tariffs, permit shipper to increase the limitation of liability by declaring a higher value for carriage and paying a supplemental charge if so required.

concerned.

7.2 Notwithstanding any other provisions, for “foreign air transportation” as defined by the U.S. Transportation Code:

7.2.2 in the case of loss of, damage or delay to a part of a shipment, the shipment weight in 7.2.1 shall be prorated to the packages covered by the same air waybill whose value is affected by the loss, damage or delay. The weight applicable in the case of loss or damage to one or more articles in a package shall be the weight of the entire package.

8. Any exclusion or limitation of liability applicabl e to Carrier shall apply to Carrier’s agents, employees, and representatives and to any person w hose aircraft or equipment is used by Carrier for carriage and such person’s agents, employees and representatives.CSC/32 Finally Adopted Resolutions Page 7 of 39

9. Carrier undertakes to complete the carriage with reasonable dispatch. Where permitted by applicable laws, tariffs and government regulations, Ca rrier may use alternative carriers, aircraft or modes of transport without notice but with due regard to the interests of the shipper.

10. Receipt by the person entitled to delivery of the cargo without complaint shall be prima facie evidence that the cargo has been delivered in good condition and in accordance with the contract of carriage.

10.1 In the case of loss of, damage or delay to cargo a written complaint must be made to Carrier by the person entitled to delivery. Such complaint must be made:

10.1.1 in the case of damage to the cargo, immediately after discovery of the damage and at the latest within 14 days from the date of receipt of the cargo;

10.1.2 in the case of delay, within 21 days from the date on which the cargo was placed at the disposal of the person entitled to delivery.

10.3 Unless a written complaint is made within the time limits specified in 10.1 no action may be brought against Carrier.

10.4 Any rights to damages against Carrier shall be extinguished unless an action is brought within two years from the date of arrival at the destination, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived, or from the date on which the carriage stopped.

11. Shipper shall comply with all applicable laws and government regulations of any country to or from which the cargo may be carried, including those relating to the packing, carriage or delivery of the cargo, and shall furnish such information and attach such documents to the air waybill as may be necessary to comply with such laws and regulations.

GOVERNMENT RESERVATIONS

CANADA

The provisions of Paragraph (4) of Article II and Paragraph (8) of Article VI are not applicable to traffic to and from points in Canada. (7.12.72)

INDIA

Notwithstanding Article VIII pertaining to Arbitration incorporated in the Interline Agreement, the approval of Resolution 660 (previously 850k) does not confer any power whatsoever on the Tribunal to question, discuss or arbitrate on the correctness and applicability of domestic tariffs introduced by the National carrier on domestic routes. (7.12.72)

UNITED STATES

Order E-24719 dated 3 February 1967:

Approval of:

1. those provisions requiring adherence by non-IA TA carriers to IATA rules, practices, regulations and instructions and

2. enforcement provisions, shall not be applicable in air transportation as defined by the

Act. 1

Order E-12305 dated 31 March 1958:

Approval is granted only insofar as said resolution and its implementation does not conflict with Part 49 of the United States Civil Air Regulations, and such approval does not extend to IATA requirements for items not covered by Part 49 of the United States Civil Air Regulations.

1 The condition will not extend to fares, ra tes and charges. There is an outstanding B oard condition which renders IATA Resolutio ns inapplicable with respect to a domestic segment of a U.S. Me mber carrier. IATA Regional Traffi c Conference Investigation 24 CAB 463, (1957). In that proceeding, as well as in the referenced Orde r E-21433, the Board declined to extend the geographical scope of that condition. Accordingly, our condi tion herein will not extend to the application of the resolution to fares, rates or charges.CSC/32 Finally Adopted Resolutions Page 14 of 39

Order 71-10-53:

Provisions for inclusion of industrial diamond s and cultured pearls as valuable cargo shall not become effective in air transportation to/ from the United States unless the Civil Aeronautics Board approves similar provisions incorporated in basic Re solution governing rating of said valuable cargo.

Order 95-12-16:

The changes proposed to the French language versions of the air waybill and conditions of contract

in R.P ’ s. 1600b and 1600b(II), as well as those pr oposed in R.P. 1600f relating to the international express waybill, parallel changes in Resolutions 600b and 600b(II) which were addressed by Order 95-7-19, July13, 1995. That Order approved Resolutions 600b and 600b(II) subject to the condition that the references to agreed stopping places did not constitute an ‘agreed 1 stopping place ’ for the purposes of jurisdiction under Article 1(2) of the Warsaw Convention. In k eeping with that action, we will impose the same condition on our approvals of the French language air waybill versions and the international express waybill.
Because the changes expanding carriers ’ operational routing flexibilit y in Resolutions 600e and 660 could raise similar issues affecting shippers ’ rights, we will apply a similar condition stipulating that any exercise of the operational routing flexibility under the terms of Resolutions 600e and 660 which results in a routing through an intermediate stopping place not shown on the initial routing on the air waybill shall not constitute an ‘ agreed stopping place ’ for purposes of jurisdiction under Article 1(2) of the Warsaw Convention.

ZAMBIA Notwithstanding Paragraph (2) (c) (i)(ff) of Resolution 209 (CTPC) 850k for traffic to/from via Zambia, the carrier which issues the substitute air waybill shall not be held responsible for claims, demands, costs, expenses and liability arising from the carriage of shipments on a substitute air waybill unless there is a “Prima Facie” evidence that such claims, demands, costs and liability should be attributed to the carrier which issued the substitute air waybill. Furthermore, the carrier which issued the substitute air waybill shall be under no obligation to honour carriage charges billed to it under such air waybill but shall refer all such charges to the original issuing carrier. (1 0.5.78)

1 This appears to be a typographical error, as Order 95-7-19 approved Resolutions 600b and 600b(II), subject to the condition th at the reference to intermediate points does not constitute an agreed st opping point for purposes of ju risdiction under Article 1(2) o f the Warsaw

Convention.CSC/32 Finally Adopted Resolutions Page 15 of 39

Since the CBPP was delegated the author it y to adopt amendme n ts to the IATAMINUT ES – Cargo Services Conference (CSC/32) Page 7 of 18

• Requests r e ceived from a few airlines to in crease the ULD ID Co de serial number to 6 digits;

• Possible sh ortage of Owner Codes.

M/033 Mr. Sa vage (XB) added that the ULDP proposed the following long term solution for Conference to provide guidance:
