Hereby applies for renewal of its exemption, initially granted by Notice of Action Taken in this docket on February 10, 1999, and renewed on February 27, 2001, authoriz­ing foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail between points in the United States, via points in Fiji and New Zealand, and Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns, and Perth, Australia, and beyond to Adelaide and to points in New Zealand, with the right to integrate such authority with its existing U.S.-Australia/New Zealand/Fiji certificates and exemptions.  American also holds exemption authority in OST-1995-660 (most recently renewed on February 27, 2001) authorizing service between Los Angeles and Melbourne via Auckland. American will not seek renewal of that exemption, since such authority is subsumed in the authority granted in OST-1999-5007.

American uses this authority to engage in codesharing services with Qantas Airways Limited. Qantas separately holds a statement of authorization under 14 CFR Part 212 (No. 99-18), issued under assigned authority on February 10, 1999 (indefi­nite duration).
