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

Application of : 

 : 

 AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. : DOT-OST-2006- 

 : 24194 

under 49 USC 40109 for an exemption : 

(points in Argentina for codesharing :

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

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 

authority, most recently renewed by Notice of Action Taken in 

this docket on July 7, 2008, authorizing scheduled foreign air 

transportation of persons, property, and mail between the 

United States, on the one hand, and Bariloche, Cordoba, 

Mendoza, and Rosario, Argentina, on the other. American uses 

this authority to engage in codeshare services on Lan Airlines 

(AA* on flights operated by Lan between Chile and Argentina). 

 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 July 7, 2010, absent this 

renewal application, which is timely under l4 CFR 377.l0(c) 

since it is filed more than 60 days in advance of the expiration date. 
 - 2 - 

 Grant of this renewal application is consistent with 

the U.S.-Argentina Air Transport Agreement, as amended, and 

with the public interest, as the Department found in its 

initial award to American in this docket (Notice of Action 

Taken, August 29, 2006). 

 In response to the Department’s letter of June 1, 1995 

to participants in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program, American states that its codeshare arrangement with Lan Airlines has 

no impact on American’s CRAF commitments. 

 Respectfully submitted,
