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. 
 - 2 - 

 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,
