all strategic actions by the company going forward will be designed to realize the goals of flightplan 2020. demand for air travel in 2009 was very weak , driven by the continuing severe downturn in the global economy . in reaction to the challenge , throughout the year the company implemented strategic measures designed to help it manage through these near-term challenges while seeking to position itself for long-term success . in response to the rapidly deteriorating economy , in the first half of 2009 , the company announced additional capacity cuts , beyond its substantial 2008 capacity reductions , as it attempted to create a more sustainable supply-demand balance . the company reduced consolidated seating capacity by approximately 7.3 percent for the full year 2009 versus 2008. the reduction consisted of an approximately 8.5 percent reduction in consolidated domestic capacity and approximately 5.1 percent reduction in consolidated international capacity compared to the year ending december 31 , 2008. no assurance can be given that any capacity reductions or other steps the company may take will be adequate to offset the effects of reduced demand . the company continued to work to implement and maintain several other initiatives , including introducing plans to focus its network by reallocating capacity to primary markets in dallas/fort worth , chicago , miami , new york and los angeles , initiating new plans to enhance its fleet to better serve customers , maintaining the range of service charges introduced in 2008 to generate additional revenue , executing its fleet renewal and replacement plan , implementing initiatives to improve dependability and on-time performance , and securing a total of $ 4.3 billion in cash through financing transactions in 2009 , which substantially bolstered the company 's liquidity position . in addition , the company secured financing commitments covering all aircraft scheduled to be delivered in 2010 and 2011. the company continues to pursue the initiative to strengthen its global network through the application pending with dot for global ati with four members of the one world global alliance . in 2008 , american entered into a joint business agreement and related marketing arrangements with british airways and iberia , providing for commercial cooperation on flights between north america and most countries in europe , pooling and sharing of certain revenues and costs , expanded codesharing , enhanced frequent flyer program reciprocity , and cooperation in other areas . in connection with the joint business agreement , american , british airways and iberia , along with finnair and royal jordanian , applied to dot for ati for their planned cooperation , and in february of 2010 , dot tentatively granted the parties ' application for ati subject to certain conditions , including requirements that american and british airways lease a total of four takeoff and landing slots at london heathrow ( two slot pairs ) to other carriers beginning in 2011 , that specified provisions of the joint business agreement be amended , and that the carriers submit reports regarding progress towards the alliance 's stated goals and the realization of public benefits . dot also established a procedure that allows any interested party to submit comments on its tentative findings within the next 45 days . american is reviewing the order granting tentative approval with the other applicant carriers , and expects to respond to dot within the required 45 day comment period . a final decision on the application is expected after dot 's review of responses received from american and other interested parties during the comment period . in september of 2009 , the european union ( eu ) issued a statement of objection ( so ) related to the proposed joint business agreement . the so asserts , among other things , that without remedies , the joint business agreement would infringe certain aspects of eu competition law . the carriers have responded to the so and have sought to demonstrate the consumer benefits of the joint business agreement . the so process is an anticipated part of the process of obtaining clearance from eu competition authorities . the parties have been in discussions and have offered a set of commitments , including offering to lease slots to competitors to serve certain routes , to address the eu 's remaining competition concerns . implementation of the joint business agreement and the related arrangements is subject to conditions , including final approval from dot and clearance from eu competition authorities as referred to above , various other u.s. and foreign regulatory approvals , successful negotiation of certain detailed financial and commercial arrangements , and other approvals . following satisfaction of those conditions , american expects to begin implementing the joint business agreement in the second half of 2010. no assurances can be given as to any arrangements that may ultimately be implemented or any benefits the company may derive from such arrangements . in february 2010 , american and jal announced the decision to strengthen their relationship . the carriers , both members of the one world alliance , jointly applied to dot for ati on certain routes , and jointly notified the mlit in tokyo of the proposed cooperation . the company believes this application will meet dot 's pro-consumer and pro-competition criteria for granting ati . as a part of the application , american and jal entered into a joint business agreement which will enhance their scope of cooperation on routes between north america and asia , through adjustments to their respective networks , flight schedules , and other business activities . this , in turn , will allow both carriers to better complement each other 's operations and to develop and offer competitive products and quality service to their customers . the
