ANNEX TO THE IMPOSITIONS 1-15 OF PUBLIC SERVICE OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT OF SCHEDULED AIR
SERVICES IN NORWAY

ADJUSTMENT OF PRODUCTION/AVAILABLE SEATS — PRODUCTION ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE

1.

Purpose of the production adjustment clause

The purpose of the production adjustment clause is to ensure that supplied capacity/seats offered by the operator
is adjusted to changes in market demand. Whenever the number of passengers increases significantly and exceeds
the following specified limits for the percentage of seats occupied at any time (the passenger load factor), the
operator shall increase available seats offered. The operator may accordingly decrease available seats offered when
the number of passengers decreases significantly. See specification below in 3.

2.

Periods for measuring passenger load factors

The periods during which the passenger load factor shall be monitored and assessed range from 1 January to 30
June inclusive and 1 August to 30 November inclusive.

3.

Conditions for changing production/available seats offered

3.1.

Conditions for increasing production

3.1.1. An increase in production/available seats offered shall take place when the average passenger load factor on each
single route encompassed by public service obligations is higher than 70 per cent. When the average passenger
load factor on these routes exceeds 70 per cent in any of the periods mentioned in 2, the operator shall increase
production/available seats offered by at least 10 per cent on these routes, at latest from the start of the following
IATA traffic season. Production/available seats offered shall be increased at least so that the average passenger
load factor does not exceed 70 per cent.

3.1.2. When increasing production/available seats offered according to the above, the new production may take place
by using aircraft with lower seating capacity than specified in the original tender, if preferred by the operator.

3.1.3. For the route network encompassed by imposition 1A of public service obligations, the need for increase in
number of seats offered shall be assessed on the basis of the average passenger load factor to and from each of
the following destinations: Kirkenes, Alta, Hammerfest and Vadsø.

3.2.

Conditions for decreasing production

3.2.1. A decrease in production/available seats offered may take place when the average passenger load factor on each
single route encompassed by public service obligations is lower than 35 per cent. When the average passenger
load factor on these routes is lower than 35 per cent in any of the periods mentioned in 2, the operator may
decrease production/available seats offered by no more than 25 per cent on these routes from the first day after
the end of the abovementioned periods.

3.2.2. For the route network encompassed by imposition 1A of public service obligations, the need for adjustments
downwards in number of seats offered shall be assessed on the basis of the average passenger load factor to and
from each of the following destinations: Kirkenes, Alta, Hammerfest and Vadsø.

3.2.3. On routes with more than two daily frequencies offered in each direction, reduction in production according to
3.2.1 and 3.2.2 shall take place by reducing frequencies offered. The only exception from this is when the
operator uses aircraft with larger seating capacity than the minimum specified in the imposition of public service
obligations. The operator may then use smaller aircraft, however, not with lower seating capacity than the
minimum specified in the imposition of public service obligations.

3.2.4. On routes with only one or two daily frequencies offered in each direction, reduction in available seats offered
can only take place by using aircraft with lower seating capacity than specified in the imposition of public
service obligations.

3.2.5. For the route network encompassed by imposition 11 of public service obligations, the frequency to Bergen shall

be minimum five and to Oslo minimum four.

4.

Procedures for changes in production

4.1.

The Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications has the responsibility subject to law for approving
proposed time schedules submitted by the operator,
including changes in production. Reference is made to
Circular N-8/97 by the Norwegian Ministry of Transport and Communications, included in the tender file.

4.2. When production shall be increased according to 3.1, time schedules for new production/new seats should be

agreed between the operator and the county (counties) as administrative unit affected.

4.3.

If new production shall be offered according to 3.1, and the operator and the county (counties) as administrative
unit affected cannot agree upon time schedules according to 4.2, the operator can seek approval according to
4.1 for a different time schedule for the new production/new seats offered from the Norwegian Ministry of
Transport and Communications. This does not mean that the operator may apply for approval of a time
schedule that does not include the required increase in production. There must exist substantial reasons for
time schedules for new production/new seats diverging from those which could be agreed by the county
(counties) as administrative unit affected according to 4.2, as a condition for the Ministry to approve such a
proposal from the operator.

5.

Unchanged financial compensation when changing production

5.1.

The financial compensation to the operator remains unchanged when increasing production according to 3.1.

5.2.

The financial compensation to the operator remains unchanged when decreasing production according to 3.2.
