May 16, 1967

Excellency,

I have the honour to confirm, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Korea, the following understanding reached between the representative of the Government of the Republic of Korea and the representative of the Government of Japan during the course of the negotiations on the Agreement for Air Services between the two Governments:

1. The designated airlines of the Republic of Korea and the designated airlines of Japan may operate air services through any point or points in their respective countries by the same flight. However, for the designated airlines of the Republic of Korea, the total number of gateway points in the Republic of Korea shall not exceed four (4) including Seoul and Pusan, and for the designated airlines of Japan, the total number of gateway points in Japan shall not exceed four (4) including Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka.

2. Unless otherwise agreed upon between the two Governments, the aircraft to be operated on Tokyo - Seattle sector of Route (a) of the Republic of Korea specified in the Schedule to the Agreement shall be registered in the Republic of Korea, owned by the designated airline of the Republic of Korea and operated in that airline's colours.

3. With regard to paragraph 1 of the Schedule, a prior understanding is required between the two Governments in the event any designated airline of Japan extends its flight to countries or areas having no diplomatic relations with the Government of the Republic of Korea. However, the designated airlines of Japan may operate, without such prior understanding, to and from such countries or areas when the Government of the Republic of Korea has already admitted the flight of its airline or any third country's airline between the Republic of Korea and such countries or areas.

I have further the honour to request Your Excellency to be good enough to confirm, on behalf of your Government, that this is also the understanding of the Government of Japan.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
