Amendment by France of the public service obligation imposed in respect of scheduled air services
between Cherbourg (Maupertus) and Paris (Orly)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2007/C 205/03)

France has decided to alter, with effect from 1 April 2008, the public service obligation imposed
1.
pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Com-
munity air carriers to intra-Community air routes in respect of scheduled air services between the airports
of Cherbourg (Maupertus) and Paris (Orly) (1). This obligation replaces the obligation published in Official
Journal of the European Communities C 143 of 21 May 1999.

2.

The new public service obligation is as follows:

Minimum frequency

The minimum level of service provided must be two return trips per day, morning and late afternoon, from
Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, two hundred and twenty days a year.

The services must be non-stop between Paris (Orly) and Cherbourg (Maupertus).

Type of aircraft used and capacity provided

The flights must be operated using a pressurised aircraft with a capacity of at least eighteen seats.

Timetables

Timetables must allow passengers to make a round trip within the day and to spend at least eight hours at
their destination, be it Cherbourg (Maupertus) or Paris (Orly).

Flight bookings

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

Continuity of public 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 these services.

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

3.
Slots are currently reserved at Paris (Orly) airport for the scheduled Paris (Orly)-Cherbourg (Maupertus)
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 (2). Air carriers interested in this route can obtain informa-
tion on the slots from the Paris airports coordinator.
