The route must be as follows: Bergerac (Roumanières) — Périgueux (Bassillac) — Paris (Orly) and vice
versa, with no other stops.

Type of aircraft used

The services must be operated with a pressurised aircraft having a seating capacity of at least:

— 120 seats a day, from Monday to Friday inclusive, excluding public holidays

— 60 seats on Saturdays and Sundays

Timetables

Timetables must be such as to enable passengers on business trips during the working week to make the
round trip within the day and to spend at least eight hours at their destination, whether Paris, Périgueux or
Bergerac.

Flight bookings

Seats on these flights must be marketed by at least one computerised booking system, both in Périgueux
and Bergerac and in Paris.

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 six
months' notice before discontinuing the services.

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

2(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001 of 2
August 2001 laying down detailed rules for applying the
