EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

TOKYO

Tokyo, March 31, 1992

Excellency,

I have the honour to refer to the consultations which took place in Tokyo from June 5 to 7, 1991, in accordance with Articles 12 and 14 of the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Government of Japan for Air Services, signed on May 16, 1967.

Pursuant to an agreement reached at the said consultations, I have the honour to propose, on behalf of the Government of the Repu{sic}lic of Korea, that the Schedule of the said Agreement be replaced by the revised Schedule set out in the enclosure to this Note, and that paragraph 1 of the Letters of May 16, 1967 relative to the said Agreement, which were exchanged between the two Governments, be revised as follows:

"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 fifteen (15) including Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka."

If the above proposal is acceptable to the Government of Japan, I have further the honour to propose that this Note and Your Excellency's reply in that sense shall be regarded as constituting an agreement between the two Governments on this matter, which will enter into force on the date of Your Excellency's reply.

Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.
