Guidelines given by the Malaysian and United Kingdom Governments
te their airlines for the purpose of determining capacity increases
For the purpose of determining capacity increases the airlines
shall, as far as practicable, be guided by the following:-
a)
Schedules should be arranged in such a way as to maximise
the spread of services available to the public;
b) Planning seat factors should be established for capacity
planning purposes. In arriving at these factors the airlines
should have regard to the fact that different types of traffic
warrant different seat factors: for example, a factor of 55%
might be appropriate for on-demand traffic, and one of 72% for
Apex fare traffic. If these seat factors averaged between the
two airlines concerned can be demonstrated to have been achieved
over a period of at least six months, the airlines should make
recommendations to their respective Government for increases in
capacity.
Such planning seat factors should be subject to review at the
request of either party, but the burden of proof would lie with
the airline which wished to vary a previously agreed planning
seat factor.
c) Planning for future increases should take account of all traffic
on the agreed routes, but should also reflect the fact that a high
[
i
proportion of traffic on the routes is TOD) third/fourth freedom
traffic.
