BLANKET CODESHARE NOTIFICATION OF 

AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. AND EL AL ISRAEL AIRLINES LTD.

 Under the Department’s Notice in the Matter of Blanket 

Notification of Codeshare Service to Open-Skies Partners and 

Points, February 9, 2009, American Airlines, Inc. (and its 

affiliates American Eagle Airlines, Inc. and Executive Airlines, 

Inc. d/b/a American Eagle) and El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. hereby 

provide blanket notification of their intent to engage in 

reciprocal codeshare services:

 ► Between points in the United States and points in the 

Israel (on a nonstop basis and intermediate routings via open 

skies points)
- 2 -

 ► Between points in the United States

 ► Between points in the Israel

 ► Beyond Israel to open skies points 

 ► Beyond the United States to open skies points

 

 American and El Al will notify the Department no later 

than 30 days before commencing codeshare services to or from 

non-open skies countries. American and El Al will conduct all 

of their codeshare operations in compliance with 14 CFR Part 

257.

 The United States and Israel have entered into an open 

skies agreement. See http://ostpxweb.dot.gov/aviation/

international/agreementsbeingapplied.htm. Because Israel is 

currently in Category 2, codesharing between the two carriers is 

limited to LY* on flights operated by American or American 

Eagle. By filing this notification, American can expand display 

of the LY* code on its flights, and El Al will be positioned to 

display AA* on flights operated by El Al when Israel is restored 

to Category 1.
