European Union C 149 of 21.6.2005, p. 7,

— between Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi and Figari, and Paris (Orly), as published in Official Journal of the

European Union C 149 of 21.6.2005, p. 12.

Fares for these services have been amended by the notices published in the Official Journal of the European
Union C 314 of 22.12.2007 and Official Journal of the European Union C 164 of 27.6.2008.

Under these public service obligations, 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 maximum
fares laid down in point 2.2 therein may be raised in proportion to the increase.

2. In application of this clause, the public service obligations of 21 June 2005, amended on 22 December

2007 and 27 June 2008, are amended as follows from 15 August 2008:

For services between Marseille and Nice and Corsica, the maximum fares stipulated in point 2.2 of the
above-mentioned amended public service obligations are increased as follows:

— by EUR 3 for the normal single fare,

— by EUR 2 for the return fare for residents of Corsica subject to certain conditions,

— by EUR 2 per leg of the trip for the categories of passengers specified in the above-mentioned public

service obligations (young persons, senior citizens, students, families, disabled persons).

For services between Paris (Orly) and Corsica, the maximum fares stipulated in point 2.2 of the above-
mentioned amended public service obligations are increased as follows:

— by EUR 5 for the normal single fare,

— by EUR 5 for the return fare for residents of Corsica subject to certain conditions,

— by EUR 3 per leg of the trip for the categories of passengers specified in the above-mentioned public

service obligations (young persons, senior citizens, students, families, disabled persons).
