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

Application of : 

 :

under 49 USC 40l09 for exemption and : 

frequency allocation (Chicago-Moscow) : 

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

APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

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

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

recently renewed by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on 

August 28, 2009, authorizing scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Chicago, Illinois 

and Moscow, Russia.

 In filing this application, American invokes the automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, 

5 USC 558(c), as implemented by l4 CFR Part 377. The current 

exemption would expire on August 28, 2011 absent this renewal 

application, which is timely since it is submitted more than 60 

days in advance of the expiration date. 
 - 2 - 

 American is not currently serving the Chicago-Moscow 

route, but may do so in the future depending on economic and 

competitive conditions. We are therefore seeking renewal in 

order to have the flexibility to re-enter the market if 

circumstances warrant. Renewal is consistent with the U.S.-

Russia Air Transport Agreement, as amended, and with the public 

interest. 

 Respectfully submitted,
