Pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes, the Italian Government, in accordance with the decisions taken at the Interdepartmental Conference chaired by the Region of Sicily, has decided to impose public service obligations in respect of scheduled air services on the following route:

If the aircraft normally used for the performance of the service concerned should break down, a usable aircraft must be made available within four hours.

The entire capacity of each aircraft must be offered for sale under the terms of the obligations.

2.2.   Timetables

On the Pantelleria-Trapani route the timetables must provide for:

| — | 1 flight departing between 07.30 and 09.30 |

The services specified in Point 2.1 must be operated with a pressurised twin-turboprop or twin-jet aircraft having a seating capacity of at least 44 on outward flights and at least 44 on return flights.

Should the market so require, a greater capacity will be offered by introducing additional flights which will not give rise to extra compensation or fares other than those specified in Point 2.4 below.

The services specified in Point 2.1 must hold three seats in reserve for use in medical emergencies or for the needs of the institutional bodies. Of the abovementioned three seats two must not be made available for reservation or sale until 24 hours before departure, and one until 12 hours before departure.

The carrier which accepts the obligations will, subject to safety considerations which may justify denied boarding, take all necessary measures to facilitate the carriage of disabled passengers and passengers with reduced mobility.

| (b) | Every year the competent authorities will adjust the maximum fares in accordance with the rate of inflation of the previous year calculated on the basis of the ISTAT/FOI general index of consumer prices.
