**DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WASHINGTON, D. C.** 

--------------------------------------------- Application of : : AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. : DOT-OST-2009- : 0337 under 49 USC 40l09 for broad exemption : authority for codeshare services :

---------------------------------------------
**APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. FOR AMENDMENT AND RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION** 
American Airlines, Inc., under 49 USC 40l09, hereby applies for renewal and amendment of the captioned exemption authorizing scheduled foreign air transportation of persons,property, and mail between the United States and points worldwide on a third-country codeshare basis pursuant to blanket codeshare statements of authorization previously approved by the Department. American’s exemption was initially granted on January 8, 2010, and amended on April 8, 2011. Absent this renewal application, the authority would expire on January 8, 2012. In filing this application, American invokes the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 USC 558(c), as implemented by l4 CFR Part 377. This application is timely under l4 CFR 377.l0(c) since it is filed more than 60 days in advance of the expiration date.

American also seeks amendment of its exemption so as to incorporate the following additional blanket codeshare approvals: • American/Etihad, DOT-OST-2009-0154, Notice of Action Taken, July 24, 2009 • American/Jetstar, DOT-OST-2010-0265, Notice of Action Taken, October 29, 2010 • American/Kingfisher, DOT-OST-2010-0288, Notice of Action Taken, March 8, 2011 • American/WestJet, DOT-OST-2011-0040, Notice of Action Taken, March 10, 2011 • American/Pluna, DOT-OST-2011-0196 (pending). We request inclusion once this is granted. Approval of this application will reduce unnecessary administrative burdens and provide maximum flexibility for the introduction of new competitive services. Respectfully submitted,
