Type B

RESOLVED that Resolution 017 ha is replaced with the following

1) for the purposes of fare selection, the fares to be used will be those applicab le to the carrier(s) selected. These may be

a) carrier specific fares, or

b) if all fares of the selected carrier(s) cannot be used, the YY fare (subject to the selected carrier’s acceptance of the use of YY fares), or

c) if a partial structure has bee n filed as carrier specific fares then the remainder of the structure will be established using YY fares unless the carrier has advised that such YY fares will not apply

Examples

1. The carrier only has fare records for carrier specific Normal Fares

- th e special fares

structure for that carrier will be the YY fares

2. The carrier has only a single fare record for a carrier specific PEX fare

- the Normal fares and the rest of the special fares for that carrier will be the YY structure

3. The carrier has no fare records for carrier specific fares

- the YY structure will apply

for that carrier

Resolution : 017ha Page: 2 of 8

2) the fares to be selected for comparison, in the direction of the fare selection in

accordance with Re solution 017a, will be

a) the fares of the carrier which provides

i. the carriage on the first sector which crosses from one area to another, if none

ii. the carriage on the first sector which crosses from one sub

- area to another, if none

iii. the c arriage on the first international sector,

and

b) the fares of the carrier which provides carriage on the longest of the following, as measured by TPM(s)

i. international sector, or

ii. consecutive international sectors, or

iii. combination of co nsecutive international and domestic sectors

3) The resultant fares shall be as per Resolution 017a 1) a) when calculated and subsequently compared
