| 2. | The public service obligations are as follows:
  Capacity and continuity of service:
  On each route, the overall capacity of scheduled air passenger and cargo transport offered by all carriers combined on the route in question must be at least equivalent to the capacity offered which is specified in Annex I.
  Where average seat sales on a particular route exceed 75 % in any IATA season, the minimum capacity to be offered in the next corresponding season must be increased by the difference in supply needed to maintain this figure.
  Seats filled under promotional fare campaigns for residents and students will not count towards this limit.
  The planned services must be guaranteed throughout each calendar year at least and, except in the following circumstances, may be suspended only with six months' notice.
  Reductions in transport capacity are subject to prior authorisation by the Portuguese Civil Aviation Institute, and may not be applied for six months if, as a result, the overall capacity offered would fall below the threshold specified in the first paragraph of this point; the Portuguese Civil Aviation Institute must reply to the operator within 30 days following notification.
  Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the carrier must not exceed 2 % of the number of flights scheduled for the relevant season, ‘cancellation’ being taken to mean that a flight previously scheduled to take place and on which at least one seat was booked fails to take place.
  In the event of a temporary interruption of the air services due to unforeseen circumstances, cases of force majeure or other reasons, the programmed capacity must be increased by at least 60 % from the moment when services can be resumed until all the traffic backlog accumulated during the interruption in services has been cleared.
  If flights on the Lisbon-Horta-Lisbon and Lisbon-Pico-Lisbon routes are cancelled owing to adverse weather conditions, the carriers may, if they wish, land on the nearest island, on condition that, at their own expense, they provide transport between the island of destination and the island on which the flight was initially scheduled to land.
  Punctuality:
  Except in cases of force majeure, delays of over 15 minutes directly attributable to the carrier must not affect more than 15 % of flights.
  Type of aircraft used and operating conditions:
  Services must be operated using duly certified jet-propelled aircraft with a minimum seating capacity of 90; for services to and from Horta and Pico airports carriers must observe the conditions published in Aeronautical Information of Portugal (AIP).
  Services on the Funchal-Ponta Delgada-Funchal route may also be operated by duly certified turboprop aircraft with a minimum capacity of 50 passengers.
  Minimum frequency:






  — | on the Lisbon-Ponta Delgada-Lisbon route, at least one round trip a day, between 8.00 and 21.00, throughout the year; one trip a week may be combined with the Lisbon-Santa Maria-Lisbon route, |

Passenger fares and freight tariffs from or to any airport in the Autonomous Region of the Azores without a regular direct link to mainland Portugal or Funchal will be identical to those referred to above; passenger routes between mainland Portugal and the Autonomous Region of the Azores and between the Autonomous Regions will be limited to two flight coupons, i.e. one in each direction, and passenger routes within the Autonomous Region of the Azores are to be limited to:

—

except for Corvo, where one additional flight coupon will be allowed on days when there is no service.

On days when an island has no direct service to mainland Portugal or to Funchal, residents and students may be routed via another gateway.

In addition to the abovementioned subsidy, the State will also pay the cost of transport for passengers in respect of journeys to or from islands where there is no direct service with mainland Portugal or Funchal. The fares approved by the Azores Regional Government for services within the Autonomous Region shall be taken into account when calculating the cost of transport.

A no-show penalty may be set, not exceeding 20 % of the relevant economy class reference fare.

These public service obligations will apply without prejudice to the conclusion of interline agreements with other carriers on fares for services from or to places other than Lisbon, Oporto and Funchal.

Carriers may combine air services and use the same flight numbers, provided this has been authorised by the Portuguese Civil Aviation Institute.

Flight marketing:

Flights must be marketed using at least a computerised reservation system.

Transfer conditions:

Where the routes in question are operated by different carriers, the latter must make agreements between themselves to allow residents and students travelling to or from any airport in the Autonomous Region of the Azores to use different carriers for different sections of their journey.

Cargo and postal service:

For the routes described in point 1, the airlines are obliged to accept as cargo to and from any island in the Azores, subject to the capacity offered and in accordance with the tariffs set out in Annex II.

The tariffs set out in Annex II may be subject to an additional security charge of no more than EUR 0,10/kg and a fuel tax per kg of 2 % of the additional cost of fuel (AC), as defined in the formula given in point 2 of the section relating to Tariffs.

The transport of cargo, including mail, must enable at least two tonnes of cargo to be carried on each flight; the capacity offered by the carrier must be spread evenly throughout the week, with the following minimum requirements:

| — | 30 tonnes per day on the Lisbon-Ponta Delgada-Lisbon route, |
| --- | --- |

—

30 tonnes per day on the Lisbon-Ponta Delgada-Lisbon route,

| — | 25 tonnes on days when the minimum service required is operated on the Lisbon-Terceira-Lisbon route. |
| --- | --- |

—

25 tonnes on days when the minimum service required is operated on the Lisbon-Terceira-Lisbon route.

The quantity of cargo and mail that must be carried per return journey on the Lisbon-Pico-Lisbon route every week shall be 2 tonnes.

The cargo and mail capacity on each flight will be determined by applying the following formula:

C = W – (0,75 × S × 97)

where:

| C | = | is the cargo and mail capacity, in kg, offered on a flight, |
| --- | --- | --- |
| P | = | is the total weight, in kg, of the passengers, baggage, cargo and mail which can be transported on an aircraft in a given sector (allowed traffic load), obtained by subtracting the operating weight (aircraft, crew, fuel, catering and other operating items) from the maximum certified take-off weight, |
| S | = | is the number of seats on the aircraft, |
| 0,75 | = | is the coefficient adopted for a load factor of 75 %, |
| 97 | = | is the standard passenger and baggage weight of an adult passenger and his/her baggage (84 kg + 13 kg) as specified in JAR-OPS 1.620. |
