Transaero states as follows in support ofits application: 1. Transaero's exemption authority for Boston/Los Angeles/Orlando/San FranciscoMoscow codesharing with Virgin Atlantic was originally granted by Notice of Action Taken dated August 28, 2012, and most recently renewed by Notice of Action Taken dated July 14, 2014, in this docket. Absent renewal, Transaero's exemption authority will expire on July 14, 2015. 2. Renewal of Transaero's exemption authority will allow it to continue providing significant benefits to passengers traveling in these markets, stimulating demand, increasing competition and enhancing consumer convenience by offering single-carrier reservations and ticketing. Renewal of Transaero's exemption authority is also consistent with the Multilateral Agreement on the Liberalization ofInternational Air Transport (MALIAT), the Annexes to the 1994 U.S.-Russian Federation Air Transport Agreement (as amended by the February 13, 2009 U.S.-Russia Memorandum of Consultations), and the overall state ofaviation relations between the United States and the Russian Federation.2 3.
