Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to paragraph 60(1)(b) of the CTA and section 8.2 of the ATR, hereby approves the use by SN Brussels of aircraft and flight crew provided by American and its affiliates, and the provision by American and its affiliates of such aircraft and flight crew to SN Brussels, to permit SN Brussels to provide its scheduled international air services between Belgium and Canada by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by American and its affiliates between New York (JFK International Airport), New York, United States of America and Montréal, Quebec, Canada, from the date of this Decision until October 31, 2004.
This approval is subject to the following conditions:
1. SN Brussels shall continue to hold the required licence authority.
2. SN Brussels shall apply its published tariff, on file with the Agency and in effect, to the carriage of its traffic. In particular, nothing in any commercial agreement between the air carriers relating to limits of liability shall diminish the rights of passengers as stated in such tariffs.
3. The air services approved herein shall only be provided as long as a code-sharing agreement providing for such services remains in effect.
4. The approval granted herein does not apply to the carriage of cargo.
5. Air transportation using SN Brussels' code on flights operated by American and its affiliates between New York (JFK International Airport), New York, United States of America and Montréal, Quebec, Canada shall not be sold separately and shall only be available to traffic carried on a continuous journey under SN Brussels' code between Belgium and Canada.
SN Brussels and American and its affiliates are reminded of the continuing requirement to comply with sections 8.2 and 8.5 of the ATR.
SN Brussels and American are further reminded to provide the Agency with a copy of any new agreement, or any amendments to their code-sharing agreement, including any new or amended annex, without delay.
