APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS
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 materials 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 Agency Conferences through which IATA Member airlines establish standardized agency arrangements intended to govern agent practices in countries other than the United States. The agreement 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, which makes amendments to the framework agreements forming the charter for ongoing agency programs and/or creates new resolutions pursuant to that framework, should be viewed as part of a dynamic process of IATA Member airline adjustment to governmental and economic factors.
On previous occasions, the Department and CAB have found these framework agreements to be consistent with the public interest. The present agreement does not impair the previous bases for approval and itself is not adverse to the public interest. 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.
-2-
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 Agency 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. The subject agreement applies only to marketing arrangements in foreign countries. Department and CAB policy has recognized that U.S. regulatory concerns are more limited than those of other countries and has given special weight to the important public benefit of foreign policy and comity. Respectfully submitted: ______________________ Douglas Lavin Regional Vice-President, North America International Air Transport Association Attorney-in-fact

WHEREAS the Cargo Agency Conference considers the Cargo Agency Agreement to be the principal contractual instrument establishing the relationship between Members and their appointed IATA Cargo Agents, it nevertheless recognises that, under certain conditions, alternative financial safeguards to those provided for in the Cargo Agency agreement may be warranted,now, therefore, it isRESOLVED that nothing shall preclude the introduction in a country or area of an arrangement whereby an Agent’s liability under Paragraph 9 of its Agreement is met by a financial guarantee, provided that the terms of that arrangement, having been developed by the Local Customer Advisory Group Cargo (LCAGC) shall be endorsed by the Cargo Agency Conference, and made known by the Agency Administrator to all Members, in advance of its introduction. If such an arrangement is introduced, and on a date to be notified by the Agency Administrator, an Agent in the country/area concerned may elect to provide a financial guarantee in accordance with the provision of Resolution 805, Attachment ‘A’, Section 1, Subparagraph 1.2.3. Thereafter, provided that such guarantee is maintained at a level consistent with the financial risk established in accordance with Resolution 805, Attachment ‘A’, Section 1, Subparagraph 1.2.3, Resolution 805a, Subparagraphs 9.1.2, 9.2/ 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 shall cease to be applicable in respect of that Agent’s Cargo Agency Agreement.
