r 49 USC 40109 for exemption 

(U.S.-Israel authority for

APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. 

FOR RENEWAL OF EXEMPTION 

American Ai s, Inc., under 49 USC 40109, hereby 

s for renewal of s exemption, granted by Notice of 

Action Taken in this docket on March 28, 2008, zing 

scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and 

mail between the United States and Israel. Ame can uses this 

authority for codesharing with El Al Israel Ai ines Ltd. 1 

In filing this application, American invokes the 

automatic extension provisions of the Administrative Procedure 

Act, 5 USC 558(c), as implemented by 14 CFR Part 377. The 

current exemption would expire on March 28, 2010 absent this 

renewal application, which is timely s is submitted more 

than 60 days in of the expiration 

1 The referenced NOAT also granted statements of authorization 

to American and Al to engage in rec 1 codesharing. 

Those authorizations do not have expiration dates. The display 

of AA* on El AI-operated flights is currently suspended while 

Israel seeks to restore its IASA rating to Category 1. 
Renewal is fully consistent with the U.S.-Israel Air 

Transport Agreement, as amended, and with the public interest, 

as the Department found in initially granting exemption 

authority to Ame can in 2008. 

In response to the Department's letter of June 1, 

1995 to participants in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program, 

American states that the codeshare arrangement at issue here 

has no impact on American's CRAF commitments. 

Respectfully submitted, 

CARL B. NELSON, JR.
