Extract

The advent of the jet age has considerably increased the need, especially for smaller air carriers, to cooperate. Cooperation is a means to reduce the costs of airline operation and in this case it could facilitate the costly changeover to jet aircraft operations. At the same time cooperation can strengthen the competitive—and sometimes also the air policy—position of the partners. Interchange of aircraft is a modest form of interairline cooperation, which is primarily geared to rationalization of airline operation, i.e. to improve the efficiency of operation by meeting an aircraft shortage experienced by one partner, and by increasing the utilization of the aircraft of the other partner.

1. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and especially the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), have given considerable attention to the technical, administrative and legal problems involved in the interchange of aircraft (personnel licensing, operating standards, maintenance of aircraft, etc.). Cf. ECAC Information Paper No. 3, March 1959.

3. Cf. also the common practice that for the operation of a single or series of charter flights, the country of registration of the aircraft applies for the necessary permit(s). This holds good for cases in which the carrier concludes a charter contract with a travel agent, organisation or firm, etc. However, if an airline charters a foreign aircraft to operate a certain flight, it is the State of the charterer or the charterer himself who applies for the commercial permit.

5. Interline agreements provide for the acceptance by the carriers concerned of each other's transport documents, allowing the passenger to fly freely over the routes of the combined networks of these carriers.
