35 TARIFF COORDINATION PASSENGER STEERING GROUP (TCPSG) REPORT Mr. Jerry Foran is Chairman and Mr. Nobu Yamanouchi the Vice-Chairman of the COMP Steering Group. It is composed of members as follows: TC1: TC2: TC3: Anita Leuenberger (UA), Julio Ordonez (AV) Jerry Foran (BA), Nobu Yamanouchi (LH), Linda Grinfeld (LY), Agnes Kwanya (KQ) Nobuhiro Mikuriya (JL), Jimmy Cheng (CX) The group met briefly in the morning of 14 October 2014 to provide guidance to IATA. Following items were discussed: TCPSG terms of reference: as shown in Attachment B, were reviewed and validated. The Steering Group instructed IATA to check with members absent to see if they wish to continue to stand as a member. The Group endorsed IATA proposal to hold the Composite meeting in July in Geneva, separately from the Passenger Week to ensure appropriate amount of time can be dedicated for meeting, including presentations and information sessions for the benefit of the airline members and systems The Group endorsed IATA proposal to hold the Steering Group meeting for one day prior to the Composite meeting The Group endorsed IATA proposal to invite System providers as observers to the Composite meeting to ensure that airlines and systems together work to finalize industry standards at the Composite meeting The Group endorsed amendments to Resolution 017ha Fare Selection Criteria that includes carrier fees in the process, as developed by the Resolution Advisory Working Group (RADWG) Final Result: The report was noted by the meeting. The Composite meeting agreed on the IATA proposal to hold the next meeting in July in Geneva with system providers attending the meeting as observers. VA expressed concern that for delegates attending the change means that delegates attending other conferences in the same week will require additional travel to Geneva. IATA advised that their concerns will be reviewed for more efficient meeting process. RESOLUTION ADVISORY WORKING GROUP (RADWG) REPORT Meeting was advised that the Resolution Advisory Working Group (RADWG) met twice in 2014 and developed several major recommendations for the Composite meeting for final approval, for example: Amendments to Resolution 017ha Fare Selection Criteria to include carrier fees in the process, and agreed to incorporate market within Europe in Resolution 017ha for global application and rescind Resolution 017hh Developed technical details for the Single Source for Exchange Rates project Developed Implementation Guide for Resolution 017ha to support airlines implement the amended fare selection criteria Amended and simplified open jaw processing for both normal and special fares Developed implementation plan for Premium Economy fares, amendments to Resolution 302 and the Interline Baggage Rules for Canada and the Single Source Project. Numerous amendments to fare construction resolutions for clarity and simplification

36 IATA advised that the meetings have been very well attended: September 2014 meeting was attended by 26 airlines and 8 system providers. To ensure that airlines are well represented at the head table, IATA advised that Ms. Anita Leuenberger (UA) had been invited to be the vice chairman of the working group, and that the invitation had been accepted. Two RADWG meetings are scheduled for 2015 as follows. Airlines were encouraged to participate. Date Meeting Venue 9-13 Mar 2015 RADWG YMQ Sep 2015 RADWG GVA Final Result: The report was noted by the meeting. The meeting acknowledged the work accomplished by RADWG and expressed gratitude to the Chairman of the group, Ms. Cynthia Towne. IMPLEMENTATION - PREMIUM ECONOMY FARES The Composite meeting in October 2013 adopted changes to Resolutions 006j, 006p, 006r, 012, 017c and 017e, while the Passenger Services Conference (PSC) meeting agreed to amend Resolution 728 to support the introduction of interlineable Premium Economy Fares. To ensure that all impacted processes have solutions in place, and so that airlines have at least a one year lead time before implementation, RADWG agreed to the new implementation date of 1 October This date has been advised to all Members via memorandum PTC COMP 1755 dated 5 May 2014, and was also confirmed to the PSC meeting held on October 2014 in San Diego. Final Result: The meeting noted the new date of implementation as advised by Memorandum PTC COMP 1755 Airlines agreed to discuss internally and ensure that all processes are reviewed and are prepared for implementation RESOLUTION 302 AND INTERLINE BAGGAGE RULES FOR CANADA The Spring 2014 RADWG meeting was advised by the systems and ATPCO that there will not be a solution in place for the proposed implementation date of 1 October 2014 for the amendment made to Resolution 302, to use the provisions of the marketing carrier if the MSC sector is a code share service. If the airlines want to implement the change on the intended effective date, airlines can use the current facility in the ATPCO filing to 'default to marketing' in their filing. However this means that all airlines will have to review and amend their filings in ATPCO, which is seen as a tremendous laborious process and risk confusing the market. Additionally, airlines would need to review and refile all their filings again when ATPCO and systems develop a reversed logic, so that the general rule would be marketing with ability to default to operating. Considering the burden placed on the airlines and risks involved in manipulating the filings, airlines at the meeting believed it would be better that ATPCO and systems develop solutions then implement the change to 302. Initial discussion with ATPCO showed that they

37 would have a solution in place by 1st quarter 2015 and latest mid The meeting endorsed IATA proposal for IATA and ATPCO work together to come up with an appropriate implementation date. Interline Baggage Rules for Canada - CTA On 16 April 2014, Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) issued a decision that mirrors US DoT requirements for effective 1 October Several systems have advised that they would not be able to comply on that date. IATA and A4A subsequently submitted a petition, on 11 July requesting that either the effective date be postponed until 1 April 2015, or that a period of non-enforcement be established also until 1 April On 22 August 2014, CTA issued an Order No.144-A-158, amending the implementation date to 1 April 2015 as requested. The Fall 2014 RADWG reviewed the implementation status for the amendment to Resolution 302 and new CTA rule and agreed to implement both on 1 April Final Result: Meeting noted the new implementation date Airlines agreed to review their baggage provisions filings to ensure that they are in compliant with the CTA regulation BAGGAGE PROVISIONS IN AUTO-REISSUE PROCESS A carrier pointed out at the Spring 2014 RADWG meeting that there are no provision in Resolution 017f regarding to the baggage allowance to be applied as historical or current based on the date of original issue (Reissue) or at the time of reassessment (Exchange). The carrier was concerned that when there is a change in baggage allowance after ticket issue and passenger unable to have the original baggage allowance when they would like to change the schedule of the 2 nd coupon. e.g. ticket issued between May and Jun would get 30kg allowance for HKG to TPE RT, otherwise would be 20kg. Passenger issued a ticket on 10May and entitled to have 30kg for roundtrip. On 10Sep, passenger request to rebooking the TPE-HKG flight. 30kg allowance would still provide to passenger as long as the revised fares are applicable to the 30kg fares. Based on Resolution 017f, the above is a reissue case, fares and charge would be based on the date of original issue and applicable at the time of commencement of transportation. System handling of baggage varied, that while treated baggage completely differently from fares, while others used data in category 31 where available. The meeting understood that there is no standard whether to use current or historical rule when recalculating baggage. Airlines in the meeting endorsed that the baggage should follow the fares and use historical rules when recalculating. One differentiated that the current charges should apply while for allowance use historical. To reflect the carrier intent IATA suggested that a new paragraph be added in Resolution 302 for clarity. Final Result: The meeting adopted the proposed change as shown in Attachment C for effect 1 April 2015.

38 FARE SELECTION CRITERIA INCLUSION OF CARRIER FEES In reviewing the implementation process for Resolution 017ha Fare Selection Criteria, RADWG members expressed concern that as presented, the resolution does not provide a transparent solution for passengers as the process does not include carrier fees that are often a significant part of what passengers pay at the time of ticketing. RADWG was also concerned that the resolution would not be able to comply with increased regulations for customer protection unless more transparency and complete solution are provided. RADWG developed an amendment to the resolution to include carrier fees in the process. Majority of the RADWG airline members supported the inclusion of carrier fees in the process. The selection process as outlined in Paragraphs 2) (describes the step in identifying the eligible carriers) and 3) (describes the steps for determining the lowest eligible fares of each carrier) essentially remain the same. Paragraph 4) has been added to describe the steps for determining the lowest eligible fares of each carrier, including carrier fees in the process. IATA advised the Conference that the issue of processing validating carriers had been discussed in detail at the RADWG meeting, however the issue cannot be built into the process from resolution perspective due to regulatory and legal reasons. Airlines will need to work with ATPCO and other solution providers in this regards. A carrier questioned whether ticketing fees should be included in the process. The carrier was advised that this had also been addressed and the agreement at RADWG was to exclude ticketing fee but could be reviewed in the future. The Conference also noted that as of today, there is no solution in place to show the selected carrier on the ticket, making it difficult for ticketing and check-in staff to service the tickets, or for revenue accounting staff to process them. Relevant PSC ticketing resolutions already reflect structured fare calculation package that includes selected carrier element; however this has not been implemented as costly EDIFACT upgrades are required. Final Result: The Conference adopted changes to Resolution 017ha as shown in Attachment D. Being advised that systems require 12 months to develop the solution, the Conference agreed on the effective/implementation date of 15 January Spring 2015 RADWG meeting will finalize the new version of implementation guide that includes carrier fees in the process. The Conference agreed that the amendments to Resolution 017ha as adopted at the 2013 Composite meeting and scheduled to be implemented 26 February 2015 not be implemented as an intermediary step, and implement the new agreement only for 15 January FARE SELECTION CRITERIA EDITORIAL CHANGES Composite meeting was requested to approve editorial changes and additional examples for clarity in Resolution 017ha.

39 Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment E for effect 1 April FARE SELECTION CRITERIA WITHIN EUROPE European airlines in RADWG Fall 2014 meeting agreed to apply the same resolution for fare selection criteria with the rest of the world for consistency. Contingent on agreements made, RADWG proposes to rescind Resolution 017hh and incorporate Within Europe in Resolution 017ha. RADWG will develop additional examples for clarity at the March 2015 RADWG meeting. Final Result: With abstentions from SK and FI, the Meeting agreed to rescind Resolution 017hh effective 15 January 2016 in line with implementation of amended Resolution 017ha. CARRIER SELECTION FOR FARE CONSTRUCTION CHECKS EDITORIAL CORRECTION RADWG Fall 2014 meeting identified errors in Resolution 017i Carrier Selection for Fare Construction Checks and requested the Composite meeting to adopted the corrections. Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment F for effect 15 January 2016 APPLICATION OF WHOLLY WITHIN IN AN AREA FOR FARE COMPONENT At the Spring 2014 RADWG meeting s system expressed concern on the introduction of the term wholly in defining the routing within an area in Resolution 011b, which carriers saw as restrictions in filing their fares and the routings. Other systems agreed and expressed the need for clarification. It was also understood that carriers have the means to control the routings of the fares they file either via mileage or by designating the via point(s) allowed or restricted. So that the definition is simple yet flexible, RADWG proposed to delete the term Wholly in Resolution 011b, paragraph 1)c). Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment G for effect 1 April 2015 HIP FARE PROCESSING WHEN THE FARE RULE APPLIES FOR PRICING UNIT Consequent to discussions at the Fall 2013 RADWG meeting, system providers requested guidance from the Composite meeting on how the fare selected for HIP should be processed when the rule for such fare applies on pricing unit basis. Straw vote at the 2013 Composite meeting revealed that 12 carriers preferred that fare rule filed on a pricing unit should be validated and applied on the fare component, while 10 others preferred that Fare rule filed on a pricing unit basis to be ignored and use only the amount. To further understand the requirement of the airlines, another straw vote was taken at the RADWG meeting, and carriers were given the choice of: 1. Ignore PU restrictions use fare, 2. Apply PU restriction on Fare Component, or 3. Ignore fares with PU restrictions - don t use

40 10 carriers advised that option 1 is the preferred choice being the clearest, while 4 preferred option 2 and 2 for option 3. RADWG developed a proposal that utilizes option 2 specifically addressing the stopover and transfer issues on how to apply the stopover and transfer rules when a stopover or transfer rule is expressed as applying to the pricing unit. It was understood that the day/time and seasonality issues are already addressed. Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment H for effect 1 April 2015 RESOLUTION TICKETED POINTS It had been pointed out by Vietnam Airlines that while on paper tickets it is clear that ticketed points are those appear in Good for passage box, e-ticket is not clear. Fall RADWG 2014 suggested that the definition in Resolution 012 be amended as follows for clarification. Ticketed Point: Points shown in the fare calculation good for passage section of the passenger ticket It was explained that whilst certain markets in North America may have airport code depending on how the fares are filed, the points referred to is a city code in the fare calculation column. Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment I for effect 1 April 2015 TRAVEL BETWEEN RUSSIA IN TC3 AND RUSSIA IN TC2 To ensure that travel between Russia in TC2 and Russia in TC3 points is deemed domestic, RADWG proposed to add the following definition to Composite Resolution 012: Russia: Russia in TC3 (XU) and Russia in TC2 (RU) Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment J for effect 1 April 2015 NORMAL FARE OPEN JAW Today it is stipulated in IATA resolution 012 for Normal Fare Open Jaw, as well in IATA resolution 017b, D1) d) that the OOJ of a DOJ must be Domestic. For Special Fares this is less restrictive. Within ATPCO s CAT 10 product, carriers have the ability to restrict their fares to SOJ, DOJ, OOJ or TOJ to combine two different fares from different rules. Even when there are IATA principles, airlines should be able to file their data per their intent. Most but not all GDS are processing what carriers have coded in ATPCO CAT 10 to allow that a Normal Fare Open Jaw can include an international surface sector at the origin and the two fare components do not have to be international. Of the system not applying carrier coding, no two are pricing the same based on hard coded interpretations of the IATA requirements.

41 It was discussed that neither the airlines who want their coding applied, nor the airlines who want systems to apply hard coded logic are getting what they want or need, and, as such, neither methodology can be relied upon. To bring consistency amongst all GDS the IATA Resolutions 012 and 017b for Normal Fare Open Jaw should be amended to be less restrictive as it is today for Special Fares. The Fall 2013 RADWG generally agreed that the normal fare open jaw should be less restrictive, as all the controls are available for carriers. Some concerns had been expressed as to how the mileage control would be applied for the open jaw, and how the new open jaw would still mirror round trip travels. The Fall 2014 RADWG developed language to make the Normal Fare Open Jaw less restrictive to allow Origin Open Jaw in different countries. As the change to the normal fare open jaw processing results in making the process the same for both normal fares and special fares, definitions were combined for simplicity and Resolution 017b adjusted accordingly. RADWG noted that the proposed changes will have impact on pricing process; however, there are controls in place if the fares are appropriately coded, for example the combination category (cat. 10). Airlines need to review their coding to ensure that their fares are autopriced as intended. To support this process, a taskforce is developing a template that airlines can reference when coding their fares. Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment K for effect 1 October 2015 EDITORIAL AMENDMENTS RADWG noted that the proposed changes will have impact on pricing process; however, there are controls in place if the fares are appropriately coded, for example the combination category (cat. 10). Airlines need to review their coding to ensure that their fares are autopriced as intended. To support this process, a taskforce is developing a template that airlines can reference when coding their fares. Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment L for effect 1 April 2015 IMPLEMENTATION SINGLE SOURCE Members were reminded that the 2013 Tariff Composite meeting adopted changes to Resolutions 024e to establish a single BSR source and simplify the conversion process. IATA has since: finalized the agreement with the exchange rate provider developed an in-house application to manage the file has been developed and can provide csv, txt, xml formats made available the single source data to airlines for comparison purposes sent a survey to airlines and systems to help determine the following outstanding issues: o Exception countries o File frequency o The timing of the loading and effectiveness of the exchange rates o Distribution methods o System limitations on decimals

42 Following outstanding issues were discussed by 2014 RADWG meetings with a plan of action for each. Exception currencies calculation Unless otherwise instructed, exception country currencies will be calculated through USD. Clarification is required on whether or not the calculation of the exception should apply only when converting to the specific currency or if the reciprocal should also apply when converting from the specific currency. Example: USD to VEF = and VEF to USD = (1 / 11.80), or USD to VEF = and VEF to USD = (the OANDA rate which is the inverse of VEF 6.30). SITA believed that in accordance with Resolution 024e as is currently written, there would not be a reciprocal relationship and may require an amendment apply the inversed rates. Sirena Travel mentioned that they have encountered similar questions when dealing with Belarus, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan currencies. UA stated that it would be important to see the reciprocal for currencies such as Venezuela (VEF), as a special exchange rate is used for airline transactions (see above example). The general feedback from the group was that they did not have a definite opinion but would want the final decision mapped and maintained. Time of day Additional support was given for a daily file and the discussion focused on the time of day the rates would become effective. The group agreed that it would be the system responsibility to release the rates based on the time zone of the user. There might be some issues for systems who do not currently have this Functionality, especially for multiple time zones within the same country (Russia, Guam for the US). In general, it was agreed that systems would require the daily file by 05:00 ATL time to be effective the following day starting at 00:00 for each time zone. Distribution method ATPCO, IATA iinet, and the Online Library extranet site were discussed as possible distribution methods. ATPCO and iinet generated the most interest and ATPCO advised that they could include the file as part of their international subscription however they would like to have an estimate of the number of customers so that they can plan for development. IATA will work with ATPCO and iinet on a timeline to test file distribution. Digits to the right of the decimal The largest amount of digits to the right of the decimal appearing in the OANDA data is 8. The group advised that with minor development, they should be able to handle this amount, provided that any changes to the standard are advised well in advance. IATA will research and advise the largest amount of digits to the left of the decimal appearing on the file. Historical archiving The systems agreed that they would be responsible for archiving historical files. Feedback from one system is that the standard is about 2 years while another stated that depending on the country, it could be 3 to 5 years. IATA has no specific requirement to store files but will check with IATA Legal for clarification. File format The group agreed that the.csv format of the comparison test file is sufficient for their needs and that the effective date of the rates should appear in the file. IATA will provide a specification document once the file development is complete.

43 Timeline The systems advised that they would need sufficient time for testing and development before file implementation. IATA also advised that they do not foresee any major changes to the initial cost estimates for the final file. IATA will continue its file development and determine the timing of a testing phase. Action items identified at the Spring 2014 RADWG meeting were: Document clarifications Airlines and systems to respond to the survey if not already done so IATA to prepare another survey for additional clarifications Systems to advise IATA for any requirements on the data and distribution method US DOT Memorandum PTC COMP 1758 issued on 6 June 2014 outlined changes to Resolution 024e at the Composite meeting held October 2013 in Dublin. US DoT had been conferred prior to filing, and they advised that they see no issue in IATA filing the amendments. Accordingly, IATA filed the agreement under Docket OST Tier 1 for information only on 14 August Provided that there are no comments from US DoT, the filing will be considered approved on 14 September IATA Communication Subsequent to the issuance of memo PTC COMP 1758, IATA issued a memorandum PTC COMP 1759 on 20 June 2014 to update the industry on the status of the Project Single Source for Exchange Rates and encouraged airlines to review currency processing and to advise, if needed, any country-specific requirements and update frequency. Final Result: The meeting noted an updated as shown in Attachment M The meeting confirmed the implementation date of no later than 1 April 2015 Airlines agreed to review the data provided and consult IATA if country-specific exceptions are required Airlines to work with their systems for testing ALIGNING RESOLUTIONS FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF SINGLE SOURCE FOR EXCHANGE RATES In line with the introduction of the single source for the rates of exchange, JL proposed to amend resolutions in order to reflect new sources and remove reference to Bankers Selling Rates and simply refer to rates. The meeting was concerned that the verbiage as proposed may be confused with IATA Rate of Exchange (IROE), and expressed their preference to continue to use the generic term bankers selling rate. Final Result: IATA to develop a proposal in conjunction with the development of the proposed implementation guide for the single source for consistent message. DECIMAL UNITS - MALAYSIA The national carrier of Malaysia advises that the Royal Malaysian Custom will introduce Good Service Tax (GST) effective Travel 01 April This GST applied for Malaysian Domestic point and Malaysian Airport Taxes. In order to accommodate the tax, decimal units for Malaysian Ringgit need to be amended.

44 Final Result: Adopted as shown in Attachment N for effective 1 April IATA will provide government document for processing clarity (also shown in Attachment N ) BACKHAUL CHECK IN AREA FARES RESOLUTIONS The e-tariff session held 2-22 June 2014 for subareas Within Africa, Within Middle East and Between Middle East and Africa adopted amendments to normal fares resolutions applicable for the subarea to apply following exceptions: 17) HIGHER INTERMEDIATE POINT AND MILEAGE EXCEPTIONS A) Not applicable for backhaul check While the intent of the amendment may have been to align with the exception in Resolution 017c, paragraph 6)a)v), where the BHC is not to be applied for pricing units within Africa, it is the understanding of the secretary that adding the provision in the YY fare condition as shown above would not have the same result as the provision in Resolution 017c. RADWG reviewed the rule adopted and agreed with IATA assessment that the rule only means that the BHC would not be performed using YY fares. Systems also advised that this would unlikely be processed and automated. Final Result: The Meeting agreed that the provision, not programmable and little impact even if developed, should be removed from relevant resolutions. CLOSE OF MEETING The Chairman thanked the delegates and IATA staff for their support, cooperation and active participation in the discussion. The Conference expressed gratitude to the Chairman for the very successful meeting. The Composite Meeting was closed at 1630 hours on 14 October 2014.

These may be a) carrier specific fares, or b) if all fares of the selected carrier(s) cannot be used, the YY fare (subject to the selected carrier s acceptance of the use of YY fares), or c) if a partial structure has been filed as carrier specific fares then the remainder of the structure will be established using YY fares unless the carrier has advised that such YY fares will not apply Examples 1. The carrier only has fare records for carrier specific Normal Fares - the special fares structure for that carrier will be the YY fares 2. The carrier has only a single fare record for a carrier specific PEX fare the Normal fares and the rest of the special fares for that carrier will be the YY structure 3. The carrier has no fare records for carrier specific fares the YY structure will apply for that carrier 2) the fares to be selected for comparison, in the direction of the fare selection in accordance with Resolution 017a, will be a) the fares of the carrier which provides i. the carriage on the first sector which crosses from one area to another, if none ii. the carriage on the first sector which crosses from one sub-area to another, if none iii. the carriage on the first international sector, and b) the fares of the carrier which provides carriage on the longest of the following, as measured by TPM(s) i. international sector, or ii. consecutive international sectors, or iii. combination of consecutive international and domestic sectors 3) The resultant fares shall be as per Resolution 017a 1) a) when calculated and subsequently compared 4) The pricing solution to be offered shall be the lowest of the resultant fares and additional fees towards end result..
