Minimum frequency

The minimum level of service provided throughout the year
must be two return trips per day, morning and evening,
from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays and the
last week of December.

(Orly) airport

Slots have been reserved at Paris
from
Monday to Friday for the scheduled Paris (Orly)–Lannion
service pursuant to Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 95/93 on common rules for the allocation of slots at
Community airports. Carriers interested in this service may
obtain any information on these slots from the coordinator

Seats on these flights must be marketed by at least one
computerised booking system.

The service must be operated without a stopover between

Continuity of service

Type of aircraft used and capacity provided

The service must be operated with a pressurised aircraft
having a seating capacity of at least 70 which is suited to
conditions at the airport. There must be toilets on board.

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. In addition, the carrier must give six months'
notice before discontinuing the services.

The timetables must allow passengers travelling on business
to make a round trip in a day spanning at least eight hours
to both Paris and Lannion.

Community carriers are hereby informed that the operation
of air services without regard to the abovementioned public
service obligation may result
in administrative and/or
criminal penalties.
