APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT

 Pursuant to statements submitted by Member airlines of the International Air Transport 

Association (IATA), the undersigned has been constituted to be their attorney-in-fact for filing 

with the Department of Transportation copies of agreements adopted by the IATA Traffic 

Conferences. 

 On their behalf, and pursuant to Sections 41308 and 41309 of Title 49 of the United 

States Code and Parts 303.03, 303.05 and 303.30(c) of Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, I am filing with the Department this application for approval of an IATA 

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 IATA Traffic Conference documentation summarized above. 

 This agreement arises from the continuing process of Tariff Coordinating Conferences 

and was developed in the context of prior 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 of a dynamic process of IATA Member airline 

adjustment to governmental and economic factors. 

 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 of the present agreement would not yield 

fares or rates that are unlawful or injurious to competition. Moreover, approval of this 

agreement, which reflects compromises among the differing economic and social 

philosophies of the many nations whose airlines are parties, will advance the public interest 

in maintaining good aviation relations with other countries. 

 We request early approval by the Department of the foregoing agreement, pursuant to 

49 U.S.C. 41309, and the grant of full antitrust immunity, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 41308. 

 The conferral of full antitrust immunity would be in the public interest and necessary for 

the transaction to proceed. This agreement is a product of the IATA Tariff 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 necessary to 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 air transportation. The U.S. authorities have recognized (e.g, 

Order 79-8-194, 30 August 1979) that the interests of sovereign nations in the conditions 

governing air transportation 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 of the Act and, therefore, should be granted full immunity. 

Respectfully submitted

SPECIAL PASSENGER AMENDING RESOLUTION

Begins 20 April 2012 Intended Effectiveness 25 April 2012 

Ends 23 April 2012 Expiry 31 March 2012 

 Type B 

RESOLVED that, 

specified fares from Myanmar to TC3 (except South West Pacific) are amended as follows: 

The last approved levels effective March 31, 2011 Myanmar Kyat (MMK) levels are divided 

by former IATA Rate of Exchange (IROE) 6.435. Resulting US Dollar (USD) level is rounded 

upto the next higher one. Such rounded amount is then multiplied by new IROE 818 to obtain 

the new MMK fare that is also rounded up to the next higher unit of 1. 

IATA Note: 1. Fares attached. 

2. Flex fares will replace the specified levels when necessary government 

approvals are received for PTC2 Memorandum 1389 dated 26 May 2010. 
PTC3 1443 

MV708, Apr12 

Description of Agreement 

Intended Effective Date: 25 April 2012 

Myanmar's New Floating Exchange rate 

IATA Rate of Exchange (IROE) for Myanmar Kyat (MMK) was amended to MMK818 for 

immediate effect by a memo circulated on 12 April due to Myanmar government and its 

Central Bank's decision to float the exchange rate. The rate is intended to be effective until 

30 April, and from 1 May updated rate may be applied.

 

Due to the change to the IROE, and because there is no automated process to amend fare 

levels using new exchange rate, IATA fares from Myanmar were suspended and taken off 

system to protect consumer interests and member airlines revenue. 

 

Because Tariff Conference action is required to re-establish IATA fares from Myanmar, IATA 

convened a special online e-Tariff conference to re-establish IATA fares from Myanmar to 

the rest of TC3. Where Flex fares have been implemented, i.e. to Europe and to SWP, IATA 

will recalculate the fares. 

IATA proposed to re-establish the IATA Fares from Myanmar to TC3 except South West 

Pacific using the following formula: 

The last approved levels effective March 31, 2011 MMK levels are divided by former IROE 

6.435. Resulting USD level is roundedupto the next higher one. Such rounded amount is 

then multiplied by new IROE 818 to obtain thenew MMK fare that is also rounded up to the 

next higher unit of 1. 

IATA proposal was adopted by the Conference using the e-Tariffs platform.
