    2. The modified public service obligations are as follows:

    - Minimum frequencies:

    - to Papa Stour - two return trips on Tuesday.

    - Capacity:

    - the capacity of the aircraft used should be not less than eight passenger seats on each route although, depending on weight, numbers may be restricted on the Out Skerries route due to Civil Aviation Authority restrictions.

    - the price of a single adult ticket must not exceed GBP 21,30 for Foula, GBP 37,20 for Fair Isle, GBP 18,00 for Out Skerries and GBP 16,00 for Papa Stour.

    The new maximum fare on each route must be notified to the Civil Aviation Authority and to the European Commission which may publish them in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
