Summary

Provides, under the provisions of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, that in any case where air transportation is performed between the United States and any foreign country, both by aircraft owned or operated by one or more air carriers holding a certificate under such Act and by aircraft owned or operated by one or more foreign air carriers: (1) the Postmaster General shall not pay to or for the account of any such foreign air carrier a rate of compensation for transporting mail by aircraft between the United States and such foreign country, which, in his opinion, will result in such foreign air carrier receiving a higher rate of compensation for transporting such mail than such foreign country pays to air carriers for transporting its mail by aircraft between such foreign country and an intermediate country on the route of such air carrier between such foreign country and the United States; and (2) the Board shall not fix and determine for any air carrier a rate of compensation for transporting mail by aircraft between the United States and such foreign country which is lower than the rate of compensation payable by the Postmaster General to or for the account of any such foreign air carrier when such carrier transports such mail between the United States and such foreign country.
