NOTICE OF TIER 1 AGREEMENTS FILING

Pursuant to statements submitted by Member airlines of the International Air Transport 

Association (IATA), the undersigned has been constituted to be their attorney-in-fact for filing 

with the Department of Transportation copies of agreements adopted by the IATA Traffic 

Conferences.

On their behalf, and pursuant to the procedures specified in Order 2012-4-18 (13 April 

2012), I am filing with the Department, in Docket OST-2012-0058, this Notice, the subject 

agreements and supporting documentation. These agreements are Tier 1 agreements 

tentatively exempted by Order 2012-4-18 from Condition #2 to the Department’s approval of 

the Provisions for the Conduct of the IATA Traffic Conferences, which condition requires preimplementation Department review. The intended effective date of the agreements is 15

March 2014, for implementation 1 April 2014. 

The subject agreements amend or establish Resolutions and/or Recommended Practices 

that do not address subject areas which the Department has indicated it still chooses to review 

under Condition #2. The text of the agreements and other conference documentation sent to 

airline Members of IATA accompany this Notice. The cover pages of the documentation clearly

identify each affected Resolution and/or Recommended Practice and show whether the subject 

agreements are amendments or new agreements. Other pages provide the text of each subject 

agreement. Where an affected Resolution or Recommended Practice has previously been 

exempted from Condition #2 by Department action, the cover pages include the appropriate 
docket and order number. The cover pages include a summary to explain the nature and 

purpose of the subject amendments and/or agreements.

Respectfully submitted,

 /s/ Douglas Lavin

Mail Vote 751 - Resolution 011a

Mileage Manual Non TC Member / Non IATA Carrier Sectors

Intended Effective Date 15 April 2014 for Implementation 1 April 2014

MAIL VOTE - ADOPTION

As no negative votes were cast during the voting period which expired 9 February 2012, 1400 hours 

Geneva time, Mail Vote 751 as circulated by MV751-1 dated 3 February is declared adopted.

1. IATA analysed the non-TC Member / Non-IATA carrier non-stop sectors which should be included 

as Resolution 011a sectors in the 43rd edition of the Mileage Manual, in order to prevent mileage 

constructions resulting in inflated mileages.

2. As a result of this analysis, IATA proposes the attached revision to Attachment A to Resolution 

011a. Other Resolution 011a sectors currently contained in Attachment A have been maintained 

unchanged.

3. The attached revision reflects a number of deleted sectors. These deletions may have occurred 

for the following reasons:

 the sector is now operated all year by a TC Member in both directions

 the sector is no longer necessary as a Resolution 011a sector because a new TC 

Member services in the area

 another sector may be more effective as a Resolution 011a sector in the same area

 the sector is no longer operated

4. As background, Shortest Operated Mileages (SOM) excluding 011a sectors compared with 011a 

sector mileages have been shown in the attached revision against each new selected sector.

The filing period for this Mail Vote ends 10 March 2014. Members are reminded of their obligations 

under Resolutions 001 and 006 to advise this office by the end of the filing period whether approval by 

their Government authorities is required and, if so, to accomplish the necessary filing formalities. The 

effective date will be declared in accordance with Resolutions 001 and 006, when all the known 

necessary Government approvals have been received.
