Action on IATA Agreement
Issued by the Department of Transportation
on the

Served 7/31/95


Docket: OST-95-288, R-1 through R-50 1


Description: The agreement, applicable within Europe, revises fares and conditions, including market-specific conditions on seasonality, refunds and maximum stay. Fares are increased up to 20 percent, with most increases ranging between two and three percent.

We do not find the resolutions incorporated in the above docket to be adverse to the public interest or in violation of 49 U.S.C. 41309, provided that approval is subject, where applicable, to conditions previously imposed.

Accordingly, we approve and grant antitrust immunity to the agreement, subject, where applicable, to conditions previously imposed.

This order shall be effective and become the action of the Department of Transportation upon the expiration of ten days, unless within such period a petition for review is filed pursuant to 14 CFR 385.50, or the Department gives notice that it will review this order on its own motion. Such actions are subject to judicial review under 49 U.S.C. 46110.

Given the noncontroversial nature of this agreement and the availability of the above procedure, we are waiving the 21-day period prescribed in 14 CFR 303.42.

	                    Paul L. Gretch
