--------------------------------------------- 

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 

BROAD EXEMPTION AUTHORITY FOR CODESHARE SERVICES 

 American Airlines, Inc., under 49 USC 40l09, hereby 

applies for amendment of its broad exemption authority, granted 

by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on January 8, 2010, to 

provide 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 authorizations approved by the Department. 

 Specifically, American seeks to add Lan Argentina to 

footnote 2 of the above-referenced NOAT, which lists foreign 

carriers from non-open skies countries with which American has 

blanket codeshare authorizations. American presently holds 

separate exemption authority related codesharing with Lan 

Argentina S.A. granted by Notice of Action Taken in DOT-OST2007-0034, June 11, 2009. When Lan Argentina is added to 

footnote 2, American will no longer need a separate exemption. 
- 2 - 

 The relief requested is similar to amendments the 

Department has issued from time to time to the blanket 

exemption authority held by United Air Lines in DOT-OST-2004-

19148, Continental Airlines in DOT-OST-2005-20122, and Delta 

Air Lines in DOT-OST-2005-20145. 

 Respectfully submitted,
