New Delhi, November 26, 1955

Monsieur l'Ambassadeur,

With reference to the Agreement between India and Japan for Air Services signed today, I have the honour to state that the following is the understanding of the Government of India of the phrase "Calcutta/Delhi" in the Japanese route specified in the Schedule to the said Agreement:

1. In case the designated airline of Japan operates the agreed service only once a week, such airline may make traffic stops both at Calcutta and Delhi.

2. In case the designated airline of Japan operates the agreed service twice or more times a week, such airline may make a traffic stop at either Calcutta or Delhi at the option of such designated airline on each flight unless otherwise mutually agreed.

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.

I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur, the assurance of my highest consideration.
