As the Canadian Government is aware, Scandinavian Airlines System is an organization operated jointly by Svensk Interkontinental Lufttrafik A.B., Det Norske Luftfartselskap AS and Det Danske Luftfertselskab AS in accordance with Articles 77-79 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation signed at Chicago on 7^th December 1944.

It is understood that the jointly operated organisation will be recognized by the Canadian Government and that appropriate authority will be granted for the operation of the services in accordance with the Agreement.

It is further understood that you will accept Norwegian and Danish participation in the Scandinavian Airlines System as equivalent to the Swedish participation for the purposes of meeting the requirements of national ownership and effective control of the designated airline under Article 6 of the Agreement.
