Negotiated fares are private fares that are not publicly displayed and have limited distribution as designated by the fare owner. A key distinction between negotiated fares and other private fares is that ATPCO will identify negotiated fares explicitly and indicate the type of fare amounts (Net or Selling) held in the file. ATPCO maintains many private fares that do not fall within the Negotiated Fares process. A data owner can have private fares that are both negotiated and non-negotiated.
