APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT

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 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 application for approval of an IATA agreement.

This agreement and related factual and 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 Conference documentation summarized above.

This agreement arises from the continuing process of Tariff Coordinating Conferences and was

developed in the context of prior Department 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 dynamic process of IATA Member airline adjustment to governmental and

economic factors.

On previous occasions, the Department has 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. Approval 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 foregoing 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 would 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 materially less

anticompetitive effects.

This agreement concerns fares or rates between non

‐ U.S. points and thus has at most indirect

application in foreign air transportation. 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

participation. This agreement is not adverse to the public interest or in violation of the Act and,

therefore, should be granted full immunity.

Respectfully submitted
