Aanhef

The undersigned Governments,

Considering that it is the policy of each of the States parties to the Agreement that aircraft engaged in non-scheduled commercial flights within Europe which do not harm their scheduled services may be freely admitted to their territories for the purpose of taking on or discharging traffic,

Considering that the treatment provided by the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 5 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation drawn up at Chicago on 7 December 1944 (hereinafter called ‘the Convention’) — which applies to the international movements of private and commercial aircraft engaged in non-scheduled operations on flights into or in transit non-stop across the territories of the States parties to that Convention and to stops therein for non-traffic purposes — is satisfactory, and

Desiring to arrive at further agreement as to the right of their respective commercial aircraft to take on and discharge passengers, cargo or mail on international flights for remuneration or hire on other than international scheduled services, as provided in the second paragraph of Article 5 of the Convention,

Have concluded this Agreement to that end.
