ARTICLE 8

at a reasonable load factor of capacity adequate to current and reasonably anticipated requirements for the

carriage of passengers, cargo and mail originating from or destined for the territory of the Contracting Party

which has designated the airline. Provision for the carriage of passengers, cargo and mail both taken on and

discharged at points on the specified routes in the territories of States other than that designating the airline

Contracting Parties to provide information relating to the establishment of the tariffs.

Contracting Party may also require the designated airlines of the Contracting Parties to submit tariffs proposed

to be charged for approval for carriage to or from the territory of that Contracting Party in accordance with its

applicable procedures, provided that such submission shall not be required to be made more than thirty (30)

days before the proposed date of introduction of the tariffs. The aeronautical authorities of that Contracting

Party then shall have the right to approve or disapprove such tariffs, and to ensure, in accordance with its

applicable procedures, that the designated airlines conform to the tariffs fixed.

4. The aeronautical authorities of either Contracting Party may request consultations with the aeronautical

authorities of the other Contracting Party if they believe that any tariff proposed to be charged or charged by

Article. Such consultations shall be held not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the request. The

Contracting Parties shall cooperate in securing information necessary for reasonable resolution of the issues.

If the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Parties reach agreement, the aeronautical authorities of each

currencies and in convertible domestic currency in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of

the other Contracting Party.

ARTICLE 12

Provision of information and statistics

The aeronautical authorities of either Contracting Party shall supply to the aeronautical authorities of the other

ARTICLE 13

Cooperation to prevent unlawful acts

1. Consistent with their rights and obligations under international law, the Contracting Parties reaffirm that

their obligation to each other to protect the security of civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference forms

an integral part of this Agreement. Without prejudice to their rights and obligations under international law,

the Contracting Parties shall in particular act in conformity with the provisions of the Convention on Offences

and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, signed at Tokyo on 14 September 1963, the Convention

for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, signed at The Hague on 16 December 1970, the

Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, signed at Montreal on

23 September 1971, the Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at Airports Serving

respective laws and regulations, to each other to prevent acts of unlawful seizure of civil aircraft and other

unlawful acts against the safety of such aircraft, their passengers and crew, airports and air navigation

facilities, and any other threat to the security of civil aviation.

3. The Contracting Parties should, in their mutual relations, act in conformity with the aviation security

provisions established by the International Civil Aviation Organization and designated as Annexes to the

Convention to the extent that such security provisions are applicable to the Contracting Parties. Each

Contracting Party should require that its airlines and the operators of airports in its territory act in conformity

with such aviation security provisions.

MÉMORIAL A - 408 du 22 septembre 2025

4. Each Contracting Party agrees that its airlines may be required to observe the aviation security provisions

referred to in paragraph 3 above required by the other Contracting Party for entry into, departure from, or

while within, the territory of that other Contracting Party. Each Contracting Party shall take appropriate

measures within its territory to protect the aircraft and to inspect passengers, crew, carry-on items, baggage,

cargo and aircraft stores prior to and during boarding or loading. Each Contracting Party shall also give

sympathetic consideration to any request from the other Contracting Party for reasonable special security

measures to meet a particular threat.

5. When an incident or threat of an incident of unlawful seizure of civil aircraft or other unlawful acts against

the safety of such aircraft, their passengers or crew, airports or air navigation facilities occurs, the Contracting

Parties shall assist each other by facilitating communications and other appropriate measures intended to

terminate rapidly and safely such incident or threat thereof.

6. When a Contracting Party has reasonable grounds to believe that the other Contracting Party has departed

from the provisions of this Article, the former Contracting Party may request consultations with the latter

Contracting Party. Such consultations shall take place within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the

request. Failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within fifteen (15) days from the initiation of consultations

shall constitute grounds for withholding, revoking, suspending or imposing conditions on the operating

permission of the designated airlines of the latter Contracting Party. When justified by an emergency to protect

aviation security, or to prevent further non-compliance with the provisions of this Article, the former Contracting

Party may provisionally withhold, revoke, suspend or impose conditions on the operating permission at any

time.

ARTICLE 14

Aviation safety

1. If a Contracting Party finds that the regulations or practices on aviation safety maintained by the other

Contracting Party in areas relating to aeronautical facilities, flight crew, aircraft and the operations of aircraft

are not likely to conform to the international standards designated as Annexes to the Convention (hereinafter

referred to as “the International Standards”), the former Contracting Party may request consultations with the

latter Contracting Party. Such consultations shall take place within a period of thirty (30) days from the date

of receipt of that request. If, following such consultations, the latter Contracting Party confirms that its

regulations or practices on aviation safety do not conform to the International Standards, it shall take steps

considered necessary to conform its regulations or practices to the International Standards. The former

Contracting Party may advise the Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization, if the

former Contracting Party finds that the latter Contracting Party fails to take steps considered necessary to

conform its regulations or practices to the International Standards within a reasonable period.

2. The competent authorities of each Contracting Party may search aircraft engaged in the agreed services

operated by the designated airlines of the other Contracting Party, in the territory of the first-mentioned

Contracting Party except during flight, and without causing the operation of the aircraft unreasonable delay,

to verify the validity of the relevant aircraft documentation, the licensing of its crew, and that the aircraft

equipment and condition of aircraft conform to the International Standards.

3. When it is essential to ensure the safety of air navigation, each Contracting Party may immediately suspend

or vary the operating permission of the designated airlines of the other Contracting Party. Any such action

taken by that Contracting Party shall be discontinued once the basis for taking of that action ceases to exist.

ARTICLE 15

Consultations between the aeronautical authorities

It is the intention of both Contracting Parties that there should be regular and frequent consultations between

the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Parties to ensure close collaboration in all matters affecting

the fulfilment of this Agreement.

Contracting Party, be submitted for decision to a tribunal of three arbitrators, one to be named by each

Contracting Party and the third to be agreed upon by the two arbitrators so chosen, provided that such third

arbitrator shall not be a national of either Contracting Party. Such third arbitrator shall act as the President of

the tribunal. Each of the Contracting Parties shall designate an arbitrator within a period of sixty (60) days

from the date of receipt by either Contracting Party from the other Contracting Party of a diplomatic note
