Trans-International Airlines Inc. has filed an application with the Civil Aeronautics Board to provide charter flights at lowered rates from three American cities to Tel Aviv. The line, an American corporation based in Oakland, California, that has been operating charter flights to many parts of the world over the past 20 years, has asked for an exemption of the Airline Deregulation Act in order to fly charters originating in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. It proposes to set its round trip fares to Tel Aviv at $698 from Los Angeles, $498 from Chicago and $438 from New York.
