- Air Canada shall apply its published tariffs, in effect, to the carriage of its traffic. In particular, nothing in any commercial agreement between the air carriers relating to limits of liability shall diminish the rights of passengers as stated in such tariffs.
- The air service approved shall only be provided as long as a code-sharing agreement providing for such services remains in effect.
Air Canada and Eva Airways are reminded of the continuing requirement to comply with sections 8.2 and 8.5 of the ATR.
Air Canada and Eva Airways are further reminded to provide the Agency with a copy of any new agreement or amendments to their commercial agreement, including any new or amended annex, without delay.
