APPENDIX.
CONVENTION FOR THE UNIFICATION OF CERTAIN RULES
RELATING TO INTERNATIONAL CARRIAGE BY AIR.
Chapter I.
OBJECT.-DEFINITIONS.
Article 1.
(1) This Convention applies to all international carriage by aircraft of persons luggage or goods for valuable consideration. It applies equally to gratuitous carriage by aircraft performed by any person engaged in the business of an air carrier.
(2) For the purposes of this Convention the expression "international carriage" means any carriage in which, according to the contract made by the parties, the place of departure and the place of destination, whether or not there be a break in the carriage or a trans-shipment, are situated either within the territories of two High Contracting Parties, or within the territory of a single High Contracting Party, if there is an agreed stopping place within a territory subject to the sovereignty, suzerainty, mandate or authority of another Power, even though that Power is not a party to this Convention. A carriage without such an agreed stopping place between territories subject to the sovereignty, suzerainty, mandate or authority of the same High Contracting Party is not deemed to be international for the purposes of this Convention.
(3) A carriage to be performed by several successive air carriers is deemed, for the purposes of this Convention, to be one undivided carriage, if it has been regarded by the parties as a single operation, whether it takes the form of a single contract or a series of contracts; such carriage does not lose its international character merely because one contract or a series of contracts is to be performed entirely within a territory subject to the sovereignty, suzerainty, mandate or authority of the same High Contracting Party.
Article 2.
(1) This Convention applies to carriage performed by the State or by legally con- stituted public bodies provided it falls within the conditions laid down in Article I.
(2) This Convention does not apply to carriage performed under the terms of any international postal Convention.
Chapter II.
CARRIAGE DOCUMENTS.
SECTION 1.-- PASSENGER TICKET.
Article 3.
(1) For the carriage of passengers the carrier must deliver a passenger ticket which shall contain the following particulars :--
(a) the place and date of issue ;
(6) the place of departure and of destination;
(e) the agreed stopping places, provided that the carrier shall be entitled to reserve the right to alter the stopping places in case of necessity, but so that such alteration shall not have the effect of depriving the carriage of its international character;
