APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT
Pursuant to statements submitted by Member airlines of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the undersigned has been constitu ted to be their attorney-in-fact for filing with the Department of Transportation copi es of agreements adopted by the IATA Traffic Conferences. On their behalf, and pursuant to Sections 41308 and 41309 of Title 49 of the United States Code and Parts 303.03, 303.05 and 303.30 (c) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, I am filing with the Department this applicat ion for approval of an IATA agreement. This agreement and related factual a nd explanatory material and documentation required by 14 C.F.R. 303.31 and Department and Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) precedent are contained in the IATA Traffic C onference documentation summarized above. This agreement arises from the continuing process of Tariff Coordinating Conferences and was developed in the context of prior Depar tment and CAB rulings addressing related resolutions which reflected regulatory and market conditions then in effect. Thus, the present agreement should be viewed as part of a dynam ic process of IATA Member airline adjustment to governmental and economic factors. On previous occasions, the Department ha s found such agreements to be consistent with the public interest when they do not result in fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious to competition in the markets at issue. A pproval of the present agreement would not yield fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious to competition. Moreover, approval of this agreement, which reflects compromises among the differing economic and social philosophies of the many nations whose airlines are parties, will advance the public interest in maintaining good aviation relations with other countries. We request early approval by the Department of the for egoing agreement, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41309, and the grant of full antitrust immunity, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41308. The conferral of full antitrust immunity wo uld be in the public interest and necessary for the transaction to proceed. This agreement is a product of the IATA Tariff Coordinating Conferences which the Department found to be anticompetitive but nevertheless approved and immunized in Order 85-5-32 (May 6, 1985) on foreign policy and comity grounds because such action is necessary to achieve the serious transportation need of maintaining good aviation relations with other countries and these benefits are not obtainable by reasonably available means having materi ally less anticompetitive effects. This agreement concerns fares or rates between non-U.S. points and thus has at most indirect application in foreign air transportati on. The U.S. authorities have recognized (e.g, Order 79-8-194, 30 August 1979) that the interests of sovereign nations in the conditions governing air transportation between them greatly exceed any that the U.S. might have by reason of U.S. airline, citizen or shipper partici pation. This agreement is not adverse to the public interest or in violation of the Act and, therefore, should be granted full immunity. Respectfully submitted
