2. V skladu z določili tega sporazuma imata določena prevoznika pogodbenic pri opravljanju mednarodnega zračnega prometa:

pravico do preleta ozemlja druge pogodbenice brez pristanka;

pravico do pristanka na ozemlju druge pogodbenice v nekomercialne namene;

pravico na ozemlju druge pogodbenice v krajih, določenih v prilogi tega sporazuma, vkrcati in izkrcati potnike, prtljago, tovor in pošto, ki so namenjeni v kraje ali prihajajo iz krajev na ozemlju druge pogodbenice.

4.

Takšno dovoljenje ne more biti preneseno ali odstopljeno drugemu prevozniku brez soglasja pogodbenice, ki je izdala tako dovoljenje.

3. Pristojni organ ene pogodbenice lahko zahteva, da določeni prevoznik druge pogodbenice dokaže, da izpolnjuje pogoje, določene v zakonih in predpisih, ki jih ta organ v skladu z določili konvencije normalno uporablja za opravljanje mednarodnega zračnega prometa.

4. Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico odkloniti izdajo dovoljenja za opravljanje prometa iz 2. odstavka tega člena ali postaviti take pogoje, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni za uresničevanje pravic iz 2. člena tega sporazuma, če nima dokazov, da je druga pogodbenica ali njeni državljani odločujoči lastnik in ima dejanski nadzor nad določenim prevoznikom, ki ga je druga pogodbenica določila za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa.

5. Ko določeni prevoznik v skladu z določili 2. odstavka tega člena dobi dovoljenje za opravljanje prometa, ga lahko kadar koli začne opravljati, če je tarifa, določena v skladu z 11. členom tega sporazuma, veljavna.

4. člen

PREKLIC IN ZAČASNA PREPOVED OPRAVLJANJA PROMETA

1. Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico preklicati dovoljenje za opravljanje prometa ali začasno prepovedati določenemu prevozniku druge pogodbenice uresničevanje pravic, določenih v 2. členu tega sporazuma, ali določiti take pogoje, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni za izvrševanje teh pravic, če:

prevoznik ne more dokazati, da ima druga pogodbenica ali njeni državljani odločujoči lastninski delež in dejanski nadzor nad tem prevoznikom; ali

prevoznik ne spoštuje zakonov in predpisov pogodbenice, ki daje te pravice, ali jih huje krši; ali

prevoznik ne opravlja dogovorjenega prometa pod pogoji, predpisanimi v tem sporazumu.

2. Če takojšen preklic ali začasna prepoved uresničevanja ali uveljavitev pogojev, omenjenih v 1. odstavku tega člena, niso bistveni za preprečitev nadaljnjega kršenja zakonov in predpisov, se ta pravica uporabi le po posvetovanju z drugo pogodbenico.

5. člen

PRIZNAVANJE SPRIČEVAL IN DOVOLJENJ

1. Spričevala o plovnosti, spričevala o sposobnosti in dovoljenja, ki jih izda ali potrdi ena pogodbenica, priznava tudi druga pogodbenica, dokler so veljavna.

2. Vsaka pogodbenica si pridržuje pravico, da za preletanje nad svojim ozemljem ne prizna veljavnosti tistih spričeval o sposobnosti in dovoljenj, ki jih je njenim državljanom izdala ali potrdila druga pogodbenica ali katera koli druga država.

6. člen

URESNIČEVANJE PRAVIC

1. Določena prevoznika imata primerne in enake možnosti za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa med ozemljema pogodbenic.

3. Pravica vsakega določenega prevoznika do opravljanja prometa na dogovorjenih progah se uresničuje v skladu s splošnimi načeli normalnega razvoja, ki jih priznavata pogodbenici, in v tesnem sodelovanju med določenima prevoznikoma.

4. Če notranji predpisi pogodbenic to določajo, je treba sporazume, ki se zaradi opravljanja dogovorjenega prometa lahko sklenejo med določenima prevoznikoma, predložiti pristojnima organoma obeh pogodbenic v potrditev.

propagandno gradivo brez komercialne vrednosti, ki ga določeni prevoznik uporablja na ozemlju druge pogodbenice.

8. člen

9. člen

DIREKTNI TRANZIT

Za potnike, prtljago in tovor v direktnem tranzitu čez ozemlje ene pogodbenice, ki ne zapuste območja, ki je na letališču rezervirano za ta namen, velja samo poenostavljeni nadzor. Prtljaga in tovor v direktnem tranzitu sta oproščena carine in drugih podobnih taks.

10. člen

1. Zakoni in predpisi vsake pogodbenice, s katerimi so urejeni prihod, muditev in odhod letal v mednarodnem prometu, kot tudi upravljanje in plovba teh letal v mejah njenega ozemlja, se uporabljajo tudi za letala določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice.

2. Zakoni in predpisi vsake pogodbenice, ki urejajo prihod, muditev in odhod z njenega ozemlja potnikov, posadk, prtljage, tovora in pošte, pripeljanih na letalih, in še posebej zakoni, ki se nanašajo na potne liste, carino in sanitarni nadzor, se uporabljajo za potnike, posadke, tovor in pošto v letalih določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice.

1. Če bi nastal med pogodbenicama kakršen koli spor zaradi razlage ali uporabe tega sporazuma, si ga pogodbenici v prvi vrsti prizadevata rešiti s pogajanji.

2. Če pogodbenici spora ne moreta rešiti s pogajanji, se lahko dogovorita, da odločitev o sporu prepustita neki osebi ali organu, ali pa lahko katera koli pogodbenica spor predloži v odločanje arbitraži treh razsodnikov, od katerih vsaka pogodbenica določi po enega, ta dva skupaj pa določita tretjega.

V vsakem primeru je tretji razsodnik državljan tretje države in deluje kot predsednik arbitraže.

3. Pogodbenici se obvezujeta, da bosta sprejeli vsako odločitev, sprejeto v skladu z 2. odstavkom tega člena in se po njej ravnali.

4. Arbitraža določi svoj poslovnik. Vsaka pogodbenica plača stroške svojega razsodnika. Preostale stroške arbitraže pogodbenici krijeta enako.

4. Pogodbenici soglašata, da se lahko od njunih letalskih družb zahteva spoštovanje letalskih varnostnih predpisov, navedenih v 3. odstavku, ki jih zahteva druga pogodbenica za vstop, odhod oziroma dokler so letala na ozemlju te druge pogodbenice. Vsaka pogodbenica zagotavlja, da se na njenem ozemlju učinkovito izvajajo primerni ukrepi za zavarovanje letal, za pregled potnikov in njihove ročne prtljage in da so posadke, tovor in zaloge pred in med vkrcavanjem ali natovarjanjem ustrezno pregledani. Vsaka pogodbenica z naklonjenostjo obravnava vsako zahtevo druge pogodbenice za uvedbo razumnih dodatnih varnostnih ukrepov zaradi določene grožnje.

4. Ob sklenitvi kakršne koli splošne večstranske konvencije, ki bi se nanašala na zračni promet in bi postala zavezujoča za pogodbenici, bo ta sporazum spremenjen, tako da bo ustrezal določilom take konvencije.

21. člen
