APPLICATION OF AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC. 


FOR ALLOCATION OF FOUR WEEKLY COMBINATION 


FREQUENCIES (MIAMI-BUENOS AIRES) 


American Airlines, Inc. hereby applies for allocation 

of four additional U.S.-Argentina weekly combination frequencies in order to increase our nonstop service in the MiamiBuenos Aires market from 14 weekly ights to 18 during the 

peak summer period July 2, 2010 to August 23, 2010. 

American proposes to operate the additional flights on 

Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, using 247-seat B777 

aircraft (16F/37C/194Y). Southbound, the flights will depart 

MIA at 1110 and arrive in EZE at 2050. Northbound, they will 

depart EZE at 1050 and arrive in MIA at 1900.

American holds Miami-Buenos Aires route authority in 

s certificate for Route 389, segment 1, as amended by Order 

92 6-21, June 18, 1992 (renewal application pending). We use 

frequencies granted in the American-Eastern 

Order 90-5-5, May 3, 1990, and increased by Order 94-9 36, 

September 25, 1994. 

Currently, 112 U.S.-Argentina weekly frequencies are 

available r U.S.-fl service under the United StatesArgentina Air Transport Agreement, as amended, but only about 

73 have been assigned. Accordingly, there are ample frequen 

cies in t unallocated pool to satisfy American's request. 

The Department's policy is to grant limited-entry 

authority to carriers with firm service plans. See Order 2005­

7 16, July 22, 2005, p. 3. American has firm plans to operate 

four additional weekly flights in the Miami-Buenos Aires market 

between July 2, 2010 and August 23, 2010. Our request is 

consistent with the public interest, and should be granted on 

an expedited basis. 

We will poll the carrier parties named on the 

attached service list for non-objections and promptly advise 

Department of the results.
