ELATTE:August 10, 15799 MATTER OF: Master Serge t Frederick L. King, USAF, Retired DIGEST: An armed forces memberts dependents traveled by foreign air carrierin 1974. Although the expense of the travel would have been fully refundable by the Government of Iran if paid by the United States Government, a claim for the use of the foreign carrier from the member may not be allowed since the travel predated enactment of the Fly America Act, Public Law 93-623, under which it would now be allowed. Travel on a foreign air carrier in 1974 was pre- cluded by the law and regulations then in effect under which it was held in B-185465, May 7, 1976, payment was not authorized regardless of whether the United States would be reimbursed by a foreign government. This is in response to a r ques for reconsideration of our decision B-185465, May 7, 197 ic. .sustained the disallowance of a claim of Master Sergeant F derick L. King, USAF, for reimburse- ment for travel of his depe dents from Japan to Iran by commercial foreign air carrier incid t to his permanent change of station (PCS). Upon reconsidera ion, the May 15-7 1976 decision is affirmed because under the regu tions in effect at the time of travel the use of foreign flag a' carriers was probibited fox the travel at Government expense o member's dependents. The reconsideration is based on a letter dated June 21,. 1979, from the Chief, Traffic Management Division,. Directorate of Trans- portation, Headquarters United States Air Force, forwarding an April 20, 1979 letter from Sergeant King. At the time of the travel, September 7, 1974, the use of a commercial foreign air carrier by uniformed service personnel and their dependents was clearly prohibited by paragraphs M2150 and M7000 of Volume 1, Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR), in the absence of an official determination that the travel involved could not have been performed on an aircraft registered under the laws of the United States.
