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 

October 8, 2009, authorizing scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between Miami, Florida and 

Santa Cruz and La Paz, Bolivia.

 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 October 8, 2011 absent this renewal 

application. This application is timely under Section 

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

expiration date.
- 2 -

 American instituted service between Miami and La Paz, 

which stops in Santa Cruz in the northbound direction, in l99l.

American's flights provide significant benefits to passengers 

and shippers requiring service between Miami and Bolivia, as 

well as to customers from behind cities receiving convenient 

on-line connections via American's Miami hub.

 American's service constitutes "activity of a continuing nature" under l4 CFR Part 377. Illustrative data is 

attached to American's renewal application filed on May l2, 

l995, which we incorporate herein by reference. 

 In response to the Department’s notice of August 23, 

2005 on streamlining regulatory procedures (DOT-OST-2005-

22228), American has requested corresponding certificate 

authority for its U.S.-Bolivia exemption authority. See 

application for amended certificate of public convenience and 

necessity, August 26, 2005 (DOT-OST-2000-85l6). We urge 

expedited approval of that application to avoid the need for 

successive renewals in exemption dockets.

Respectfully submitted,
