Action on IATA Agreement | Docket: OST-95-399, R-1 through R-30 [1]


Description: The agreement establishes a new fare structure between Canada and Europe, effective December 1, 1995. Generally, normal fares from Europe are increased between two and six percent, with some countries remaining at current levels, while normal fares from Canada are increased by three percent. Special fares from Europe are increased between one and seven percent, although some countries remain status quo. A new lower Super APEX fare from Canada is introduced in several markets.

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.
