Order 69-3-1


                      UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
                      CIVIL AERONAUTICS BOARD
                          WASHINGTON, D. C.

              .Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board
                 at its office in Washington, D. C.,
                   on the 3rd day of March, 1969



Agreements adopted by Joint
Conferences 1-2 and 1-2-3 of the                     Docket 20781
International Air Transport       :             Agreement C.A B. 20848
Association (IATA) relating to                     R-1 through R-12,
transatlantic fares                              and R-14 through R-68


                                 ORDER

     There have been filed with the Board, pursuant to section  l2(a) of
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (the Act) and Part 261 of the Board's
Economic Regulations, agreements between various air carriers, foreign
air  arriers, and other carriers, embodied in the resolutions of Joint
Conferences 1-2 and 1-2-3 of the International Air Transport Association
(IATA), adopted at meetings held in Dallas, Texas, in January 1969.

     The agreements, among other things, embrace fare resolutions to apply1'
via North and Mid Atlantic routes from May 1, 1969, through March 31, 1971.-'
Included among them is a resolution which would extend the effectiveness of
current fares, now scheduled to expire March 31, 1969, through the month of
April 1969, or until such time as the new resolutions become effective.  We
are herein approving this resolution so as to allow time within which to
evaluate the revisions proposed in the pattern of North Atlantic fares.

     The essential elements of the fare agreement are apparent, although the
Board has not yet received the accompanying fare tables and supporting
documentation.  These include elimination of the 5-percent round-trip dis-
count; availability of the current l4-21-day excursion fares on a year-round
basis, with added charges when travel is in the heretofore precluded peak
summer weeks and on weekends; introduction of contract bulk fares for
inclusive  tours; and introduction of incentive group fares to be avail-
able except in peak travel months.  The last two resolutions appear to be
those elements of the agreement which are most controversial and, as such,
are reproduced in the appendioses hereto.

     The Board has been advised2/that at least one complaint will be lodged
against the agreement, and that others may be forthcoming.  In view of the

1/The   agreements also include related fare resolutions applicable to
    travel via the North Atlantic to/from the Orient.
2/Letter   dated February 25, 1969, from the National Air Carrier
    Association, Inc.
