1. a) Route to be served by the designated airline or airlines of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka

Colombo – Dubai – Abu Dhabi – Athens – Vienna – Zurich – 1 point to be nominated – Amsterdam – Copenhagen – New York – Toronto – Los Angeles – 3 points to be nominated;

  • b) Route to be served by the designated airline or airlines of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

    Amsterdam – Vienna – Athens – Dubai – Abu Dhabi – Karachi – 1 point to be nominated – Colombo – Kuala Lumpur – Penang – Male – Jakarta – Perth – Sydney – Melbourne.

2. Points on each route may, at the option of the designated airline concerned, be omitted on any or all flights.

3. After a point to be nominated has been so nominated, such point shall be considered as being a point specified in the route schedule and cannot be changed unilaterally.

4. The designated airlines shall have the right to serve intermediate points other than those specified in paragraph 1(a) or 1(b) of this Schedule, as applicable, provided that no traffic rights are exercised between such points and the point in the territory of the other Contracting Party, unless otherwise agreed.

5. Points on the specified routes may be served in any order.

6. The intermediate point to be nominated under paragraph 1(a) of this Schedule shall not be located in the Gulf Area, Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, unless otherwise agreed between the Aeronautical Authorities of both Contracting Parties.

7. The intermediate point to be nominated under paragraph 1(b) of this Schedule shall not be located in the Gulf Area, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Switzerland or the Federal Republic of Germany, unless otherwise agreed between the Aeronautical Authorities of both Contracting Parties.

8. So long as the designated airline or airlines of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka do not exercise traffic rights under the terms of the present Agreement beyond Amsterdam, the rights of the designated airline or airlines of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the carriage of passengers shall be subject to the following restriction:

Fifth freedom traffic rights on the Colombo – Male v.v. sectors shall be limited to own stopover passenger traffic at Colombo and at Male.

The restriction shall thus no longer apply at the time the designated airline or airlines of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka start to exercise their rights under the terms of the present Agreement beyond Amsterdam.

9. Designated airlines of neither Contracting Party shall have the right to serve both Dubai and Abu Dhabi on any one flight under the present Agreement."

The Embassy has the honour to inform the Ministry that the formalities required by the National Legislation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the substitution of the Schedule in accordance with the above proposal have been accomplished.

The Embassy further has the honour to suggest, in accordance with Article 9 of the Agreement, that the present Note together with the Ministry's reply confirming that the foregoing proposals are acceptable to the Government of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and stating, moreover, that the formalities required by the National Legislation of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka have been accomplished, shall constitute an Agreement between the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Government of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, which shall enter into force on the date of the Ministry's reply.

The Royal Netherlands Embassy avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka the assurances of its highest consideration.
