Whereas :
The possibilities of air transportation are so great and at the same time so
unpredictable, that it is desirable to promote early development in this field
during a transitional period, in order to obtain practical experience for giving
effect to more permanent arrangements at a later date;
Whereas :
Every State has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above
its territory; and
Whereas :
It is desirable that there should be as great a measure of uniformity as
possible in any agreements that may be made between States for the operation
of air services;
The International Civil Aviation Conference
Recommends :
1. That each State undertake to refrain from including specific provisions
in an agreement which grant exclusive rights of transit, non-traffic stop,
and commercial entry to any other State or airline, or from making any
agreement excluding or discriminating against the airlines of any State, and
will terminate any existing exclusive or discriminatory rights as soon as such
action can be taken under presently outstanding agreements;
2. That the clauses contained in the draft form of standard agreement
hereinafter set out shall be regarded as standard clauses for incorporation in
the agreements referred to above, it being understood that the right is reserved
to the States concerned to effect such changes of wording as may be necessary
in the particular case and to add additional clauses so long as such changes
or additions are not inconsistent with the standard clauses, it being further
understood that nothing herein shall prevent any State from entering into
agreements with airlines of other States provided that such agreements shall
incorporate the aforementioned standard clauses to the extent that these may
be applicable:
Form of Standard Agreement for Provisional Air Routes
(1) The contracting parties grant the rights specified in the Annex* hereto
necessary for establishing the international civil air routes and services therein
described, whether such services be inaugurated immediately or at a later
date at the option of the contracting party to whom the rights are granted.
(2) (a) Each of the air services so described shall be placed in operation
as soon as the contracting party to whom the right has been granted by
paragraph (1) to designate an airline or airlines for the route concerned has
authorized an airline for such route, and the contracting party granting the
right shall, subject to Article (7) hereof, be bound to give the appropriate
operating permission to the airline or airlines concerned; provided that the
airline so designated may be required to qualify before the competent
aeronautical authorities of the contracting party granting the rights under the
laws and regulations normally applied by these authorities before being per?
mitted to engage in the operations contemplated by this Agreement; and
* An Annex will include a description of the routes and of the rights granted whether of
transit only, of non-traffic stops or of commercial entry as the case may be, and the
conditions incidental to the granting of the rights. Where rights of non-traffic stops or
commercial rights are granted, the Annex will include a designation of the ports of call at
which stops can be made, or at which commercial rights for the embarkation and
disembarkation of passengers, cargo and mail are authorised, and a statement of the
contracting parties to whom the respective rights are granted.
