Artikel 2

1. Each Contracting Party shall have the right to designate as many airlines as it wishes to conduct international air services in accordance with this Agreement and to withdraw or alter such designations. Such designations shall be transmitted to the other Contracting Party in writing through diplomatic channels, and shall identify whether the airline is authorized to conduct the scheduled or charter air service specified in this Agreement, or both.
2. On receipt of such a designation, and of applications from the designated airline in the form and manner prescribed for operating authorizations and technical permissions, the other Contracting Party shall with minimum procedural delay grant to the designated airline or airlines the appropriate operating authorizations and technical permissions, provided the airline meets the standards set forth in this Agreement and is qualified to meet the conditions prescribed under the laws and regulations normally applied to the operation of international air services by the Contracting Party considering the application or applications.
