Amendment of a public service obligation in respect of scheduled air services between Le Puy-en-Velay and Paris

(2001/C 154/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. France has decided to alter from 1 September 2001 the public service obligation in respect of scheduled air services between Le Puy-en-Velay (Loudes) and Paris (Orly) published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 107 of 16 April 1999 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.

2. The new text of the public service obligation is as follows:

Minimum frequency

The minimum level of service provided must be two return trips per day from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. This obligation shall apply all year round, except for a period of four weeks from the end of July to the end of August and from Christmas to New Year (one week).

The service must be operated without a stopover between Paris (Orly) and Le Puy-en-Velay (Loudes).

Type of aircraft used

The service must be operated with a pressurised aircraft having a seating capacity of at least 19. The aircraft must be suited to the characteristics of Puy-en-Velay airport (altitude: 850 m; runway length: 1450 m).

Timetables

Timetables must be such as to enable passengers on business trips to make the round trip within the day and to spend at least seven hours thirty minutes in Puy-en-Velay and at least eight hours in Paris.

Slots have been reserved at Paris (Orly) airport for the scheduled Paris (Orly)-Le Puy-en-Velay (Loudes) service pursuant to Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 of 18 January 1993 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports. Air carriers interested in this route can obtain information about the allocation of these slots from the Paris airports coordinator.

Fares

The full single fare must be no more than FRF 1400 (in 2001 values) or EUR 213,43. This fare does not include taxes and per capita charges levied by the State, local authorities and airport authorities other than value added tax (VAT) which are identified as such on the ticket.

The maximum fare may be increased each year on 1 January in line with the gross domestic product (GDP) price index published in the Finance Act. If an abnormal and unforeseeable increase in the cost factors affecting the operation of the routes takes place for which the carriers are not responsible, the fare may be raised in proportion to the increase. The new maximum fare will be notified to the carrier operating the route and shall not enter into force until it has been notified to the Commission and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Flight bookings

Flights must be marketed by means of at least one computerised reservation system.

Continuity of service

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the carrier must not exceed 3 % of the number of flights scheduled in any year.

The carrier must give at least six months' notice before discontinuing these services.
