Type B

RESOLVED that Resolution 017ha is amended as follows

1) for the purposes of fare selection, the fares to be used will be those applicable 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

carri er’s acceptance of the use of YY fares), or

c) if a partial structure has been 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

Exam ples

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

- the 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 re st 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

2) the fares to be selected for comparison, in the direction of the fare se lection in accordance with

Resolution 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 carriage 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 consecutive international and domestic sectors

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

compared

4) The pricing solution to be offered shall be the lowest of the resultant fares and additional

GENERAL

..... 4) S urface S ectors

a) If the surface sector matches 2) a) criteria, YY fares will be selected

i) Area Crossing:

Example Journey : TYO ZZ CMB surface DX B UU AMS

--------------------------------------------- > Fare Component: TYO

- AMS

CMB

- DXB surface sector is the sector crossing areas. Consequently, the fares to

be selected for comparison will be YY fares (as result of 2)a)i) above) and those of

carrier ZZ TYO

- CMB (as result of 2)b)i) above)

ii) Sub Area Crossing:

Example Journey : MBJ UU AUA surface CCS LL SCL

-------------------------------------------- > Fare Component: MBJ

- SCL

A UA

- CCS surface sector is the sector crossing sub

- areas. Consequently, the fares

to be selected for comparison will be YY fares (as result of 2)a)ii) above) and those

of carrier LL CCS

- SCL(as result of 2)b)i) above)

iii) First International:

Example Journ ey: DUR ZZ JNB surface DAR DD NBO

------------------------------------------ > Fare Component: DUR

- NBO

JNB

- DAR sector is the first international sector. Consequently, the fares to be

selected for comparison will be YY fares (as result of 2)a)iii) above) and those of

carrier DD DAR

- NBO(as result of 2)b)i) above). Carrier ZZ’s fares are not

considered as the sector DUR

- JNB is domestic.

b) surface sector mileage according to 2)b) criteria

i) Calculation of consecutive TPMs

for the purpose of determining the carrier performing the greatest portion of carriage,

surface sectors will not be considered for the calculation of consecutive TPMs

Example Journey : SEL

- TYO (carrier ZZ) 758

OSA

- HKG (carrier ZZ) 1548

HKG

- SIN (carrier BB) 1594

The fares to be selected for comparison will be those of ZZ OSA

- HKG (as result of 2)a)ii)

and BB HKG

- SIN (as result of 2)b)i)

ii. Longest Single International Sec tor

for the purpose of determining the carrier performing the greatest portion of carriage, if the

longest single international sector is a surface sector, such sector is not considered

Example Journey : BUE

----------------------------------------------- >

Fare Component : BUE

- CCS

BUE

- RIO (carrier DD) 1232

RIO

- BOG 2827

Even though RIO

- BOG is the longest sector in TPM, it is not considered.

The fares to be s elected will be DD BUE

- RIO (as result of both (2)a)iii) and 2)b)i))

5) Side

Fare component: UR C

- NAN

t he fares to be selected for comparison will be those of:

carrier XX YY BJS

- Carrier XX BJS

- TYO shall not be considered as first sub

- area crossing carrier

- TYO

- BJS TPM may not be combined for consecutive TPM calculatio n

6) for the purpose of this Resolution

a) travel between Canada and USA is not considered as international travel

Example Journey : YUL ZZ NYC UU MEX

Fare Component : YUL

- MEX

The fares to be selected for comparison will be those of carrier UU NYC

- MEX (as a result of

both (2) a) iii and 2) b) i))

first international sector is NYC

- MEX

b) tr avel between Denmark, Norway and Sweden is considered as international

travel

Example Journey : SVG BB STO BB CPH surface ATH CC BEY
