APPLICATION FORAPPROVAL OF AGREEMENT Pursuantto statements submitted by Memberairlines ofthe International AirTransport Association (lATA), the undersigned has been constituted to be their attorney-in-fact forfiling with the Department ofTransportation copies ofagreements adopted by the lATATraffic Conferences. On their behalf, and pursuant to Sections 41308 and 41309 ofTitle 49 ofthe United States Code and Parts 303.03, 303.05 and 303.30(c) ofTitle 14 ofthe Code of Federal Regulations, I am filing with the Departmentthis application for approval ofan lATA agreement. This agreement and related factual and explanatory material and documentation required by 14 C.F.R. 303.31 and Department and Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) precedent are contained in the lATATraffic Conference documentation summarized above. This agreement arises from the continuing process ofTariffCoordinating Conferences and was developed in the context ofprior Department and CAB rulings addressing related resolutions which reflected regulatory and market conditions then in effect. Thus, the present agreement should be viewed as part ofa dynamic process of lATA Member airline adjustment to governmental and economicfactors. On previous occasions, the Department has found such agreements to be consistent with the public interest when they do not result in fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious to competition in the markets at issue. Approval ofthe present agreement would notyield fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious to competition. Moreover, approval ofthis agreement, which reflects compromises among the differing economic and social philosophies ofthe many nations whose airlines are parties, will advance the public interest in maintaining good aviation relations with othercountries. We request early approval bythe Department ofthe foregoing agreement, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41309, and the grant offull antitrust immunity, pursuantto 49 U.S.C. 41308. The conferral offull antitrust immunitywould be in the public interest and necessaryfor the transaction to proceed. This agreement is a product ofthe lATATariff Coordinating Conferences which the Department found to be anticompetitive but nevertheless approved and immunized in Order 85-5-32 (May 6, 1985) on foreign policy and comity grounds because such action is necessaryto achieve the serious transportation need of maintaining good aviation relations with other countries and these benefits are not obtainable by reasonably available means having materially less anticompetitive effects. This agreement concerns fares or rates between non-U.S. points and thus has at most indirect application in foreign airtransportation. The U.S. authorities have recognized (e.g, Order 79-8-194, 30 August 1979)that the interests ofsovereign nations in the conditions governing airtransportation between them greatly exceed any that the U.S. might have by reason of U.S. airline, citizen or shipper participation. This agreement is not adverse to the public interest or in violation ofthe Act and, therefore, should be granted full immunity. Respectfully submitted

Douglas Lavin Regional Vice President
- North America International AirTransport Association
