APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION AUTHORITY 

 American Airlines, Inc. under 49 USC 40l09 and l4 CFR 

Part 377, hereby applies for renewal of its exemption, initially 

granted by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on June 11, 

2009, authorizing scheduled foreign air transportation of 

persons, property, and mail to points in Argentina on a codeshare basis to the full extent permitted by Article 5 of the 

United States-Argentina Protocol of March 22, 2007. American is 

using this authority to display the AA* code on flights operated 

by Lan Argentina. 

 American invokes the automatic extension provisions of 

the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 USC 558(c), as implemented 

by l4 CFR Part 377. The exemption would expire on June 11, 2011 

absent this renewal application, which is timely under l4 CFR 

377.l0(c) since it is filed more than 60 days in advance. 
- 2 - 

 Grant of American's renewal application is consistent 

with the U.S.-Argentina Protocol and with the public interest, 

as the Department found in the initial Notice of Action Taken in 

this docket on June 11, 2009. 

 Respectfully submitted,
