ON THE INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF RIGHTS IN AIRCRAFT
WHEREAS the International Civil Aviation Conference, held at Chicago in November-December 1944, recommended the early adoption of a Convention dealing with the transfer of title to aircraft,
WHEREAS it is highly desirable in the interest of the future expansion of international civil aviation that rights in aircraft be recognised internationally,
THE UNDERSIGNED, duly authorized, HAVE AGREED, on behalf of their respective Governments, AS FOLLOWS:
Article I
(1) The Contracting States undertake to recognise:
(a) rights of property in aircraft;
(b) rights to acquire aircraft by purchase coupled with possession of the aircraft;
(c) rights to possession of aircraft under leases of six months or more;
(d) mortgages, hypotheques and similar rights in aircraft which are contractually created as security for payment of an indebtedness;
provided that such rights
(i) have been constituted in accordance with the law of the Contracting State in which the aircraft was registered as to nationality at the time of their constitution, and
(ii) are regularly recorded in a public record of the Contracting State in which the aircraft is registered as to nationality.
The regularity of successive recordings in different Contracting States shall be determined in accordance with the law of the State where the aircraft was registered as to nationality at the time of each recording.
(2) Nothing in this Convention shall prevent the recognition of any rights in aircraft under the law of any Contracting State; but Contracting States shall not admit or recognise any right as taking priority over the rights mentioned in paragraph (1) of this Article.
Article II
(1) All recordings relating to a given aircraft must appear in the same record.
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this Convention, the effects of the recording of any right mentioned in Article I, paragraph (1), with regard to third parties shall be determined according to the law of the Contracting State where it is recorded.
(3) A Contracting State may prohibit the recording of any right which cannot validly be constituted according to its national law.
Article III
(1) The address of the authority responsible for maintaining the record must be shown on every aircraft’s certificate of registration as to nationality.
(2) Any person shall be entitled to receive from the authority duly certified copies or extracts of the particulars recorded. Such copies or extracts shall constitute prima facie evidence of the contents of the record.
(3) If the law of a Contracting State provides that the filing of a document for recording shall have the same effect as the recording, it shall have the same effect for the purposes of this Convention. In that case, adequate provision shall be made to ensure that such document is open to the public.
(4) Reasonable charges may be made for services performed by the authority maintaining the record.
Article IV
(1) In the event that any claims in respect of:
(a) compensation due for salvage of the aircraft, or
(b) extraordinary expenses indispensable for the preservation of the aircraft
give rise, under the law of the Contracting State where the operations of salvage or preservation were terminated, to a right conferring a charge against the aircraft, such right shall be recognised by Contracting States and shall take priority over all other rights in the aircraft.
(2) The rights enumerated in paragraph (1) shall be satisfied in the inverse order of the dates of the incidents in connexion with which they have arisen.
(3) Any of the said rights may, within three months from the date of the termination of the salvage or preservation operations, be noted on the record.
(4) The said rights shall not be recognised in other Contracting States after expiration of the three months mentioned in paragraph (3) unless, within this period,
(a) the right has been noted on the record in conformity with paragraph (3), and
(b) the amount has been agreed upon or judicial action on the right has been commenced. As far as judicial action is concerned, the law of the forum shall determine the contingencies upon which the three months period may be interrupted or suspended.
(5) This Article shall apply notwithstanding the provisions of Article I, paragraph (2).
Article V
The priority of a right mentioned in Article I, paragraph (1) (d), extends to all sums thereby secured. However, the amount of interest included shall not exceed that accrued during the three years prior to the execution proceedings together with that accrued during the execution proceedings.
Article VI
In case of attachment or sale of an aircraft in execution, or of any right therein, the Contracting States shall not be obliged to recognise, as against the attaching or executing creditor or against the purchaser, any right mentioned in Article I, paragraph (1), or the transfer of any such right, if constituted or effected with knowledge of the sale or execution proceedings by the person against whom the proceedings are directed.
Article VII
(1) The proceedings of a sale of an aircraft in execution shall be determined by the law of the Contracting State where the sale takes place.
(2) The following provisions shall however be observed:
(a) The date and place of the sale shall be fixed at least six weeks in advance.
(b) The executing creditor shall supply to the Court or other competent authority a certified extract of the recordings concerning the aircraft. He shall give public notice of the sale at the place where the aircraft is registered as to nationality, in accordance with the law there applicable, at least one month before the day fixed, and shall concurrently notify by registered letter, if possible by air mail, the recorded owner and the holders of recorded rights in the aircraft and of rights noted on the record under Article IV, paragraph (3), according to their addresses as shown on the record.
(3) The consequences of failure to observe the requirements of paragraph (2) shall be as provided by the law of the Contracting State where the sale takes place. However, any sale taking place in contravention of the requirements of that paragraph may be annulled upon demand made within six months from the date of the sale by any person suffering damage as the result of such contravention.
(4) No sale in execution can be effected unless all rights having priority over the claim of the executing creditor in accordance with this Convention which are established before the competent authority, are covered by the proceeds of sale or assumed by the purchaser.
(5) When injury or damage is caused to persons or property on the surface of the Contracting State where the execution sale takes place, by any aircraft subject to any right referred to in Article I held as security for an indebtedness, unless adequate and effective insurance by a State or an insurance undertaking in any State has been provided by or on behalf of the operator to cover such injury or damage, the national law of such Contracting State may provide in case of the seizure of such aircraft or any other aircraft owned by the same person and encumbered with any similar right held by the same creditor:
(a) that the provisions of paragraph (4) above shall have no effect with regard to the person suffering such injury or damage or his representative if he is an executing creditor;
(b) that any right referred to in Article I held as security for an indebtedness encumbering the aircraft may not be set up against any person suffering such injury or damage or his representative in excess of an amount equal to 80% of the sale price.
In the absence of other limit established by the law of the Contracting State where the execution sale takes place, the insurance shall be considered adequate within the meaning of the present paragraph if the amount of the insurance corresponds to the value when new of the aircraft seized in execution.
(6) Costs legally chargeable under the law of the Contracting State where the sale takes place, which are incurred in the common interest of creditors in the course of execution proceedings leading to sale, shall be paid out of the proceeds of sale before any claims, including those given preference by Article IV.
Article VIII
Sale of an aircraft in execution in conformity with the provisions of Article VII shall effect the transfer of the property in such aircraft free from all rights which are not assumed by the purchaser.
Article IX
Except in the case of a sale in execution in conformity with the provisions of Article VII, no transfer of an aircraft from the nationality register or the record of a Contracting State to that of another Contracting State shall be made, unless all holders of recorded rights have been satisfied or consent to the transfer.
Article X
(1) If a recorded right in an aircraft of the nature specified in Article I, and held as security for the payment of an indebtedness, extends, in conformity with the law of the Contracting State where the aircraft is registered, to spare parts stored in a specified place or places, such right shall be recognised by all Contracting States, as long as the spare parts remain in the place or places specified, provided that an appropriate public notice, specifying the description of the right, the name and address of the holder of this right and the record in which such right is recorded, is exhibited at the place where the spare parts are located, so as to give due notification to third parties that such spare parts are encumbered.
(2) A statement indicating the character and the approximate number of such spare parts shall be annexed to or included in the recorded document. Such parts may be replaced by similar parts without affecting the right of the creditor.
(3) The provisions of Article VII, paragraphs (1) and (4), and of Article VIII shall apply to a sale of spare parts in execution. However, where the executing creditor is an unsecured creditor, paragraph (4) of Article VII in its application to such a sale shall be construed so as to permit the sale to take place if a bid is received in an amount not less than two-thirds of the value of the spare parts as determined by experts appointed by the authority responsible for the sale. Further, in the distribution of the proceeds of sale, the competent authority may, in order to provide for the claim of the executing creditor, limit the amount payable to holders of prior rights to two-thirds of such proceeds of sale after payment of the costs referred to in Article VII, paragraph 6.
(4) For the purpose of this Article the term “spare parts” means parts of aircraft, engines, propellers, radio apparatus, instruments, appliances, furnishings, parts of any of the foregoing, and generally any other articles of whatever description maintained for installation in aircraft in substitution for parts or articles removed.
Article XI
(1) The provisions of this Convention shall in each Contracting State apply to all aircraft registered as to nationality in another Contracting State.
(2) Each Contracting State shall also apply to aircraft there registered as to nationality:
(a) The provisions of Articles II, III, IX, and
(b) The provisions of Article IV, unless the salvage or preservation operations have been terminated within its own territory.
Article XII
Nothing in this Convention shall prejudice the right of any Contracting State to enforce against an aircraft its national laws relating to immigration, customs or air navigation.
Article XIII
This Convention shall not apply to aircraft used in military, customs or police services.
Article XIV
For the purpose of this Convention, the competent judicial and administrative authorities of the Contracting States may, subject to any contrary provision in their national law, correspond directly with each other.
Article XV
The Contracting States shall take such measures as are necessary for the fulfilment of the provisions of this Convention and shall forthwith inform the Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization of these measures.
Article XVI
For the purposes of this Convention the term “aircraft” shall include the airframe, engines, propellers, radio apparatus, and all other articles intended for use in the aircraft whether installed therein or temporarily separated therefrom.
Article XVII
If a separate register of aircraft for purposes of nationality is maintained in any territory for whose foreign relations a Contracting State is responsible, references in this Convention to the law of the Contracting State shall be construed as references to the law of that territory.
Article XVIII
This Convention shall remain open for signature until it comes into force in accordance with the provisions of Article XX.
Article XIX

(2) The instruments of ratification shall be deposited in the archives of the International Civil Aviation Organization, which shall give notice of the date of deposit to each of the signatory and adhering States.

O MEDNARODNEM PRIZNANJU PRAVIC NA LETALU
GLEDE NA TO, da je Konferenca mednarodnega civilnega letalstva, ki je bila v Chicagu novembra in decembra 1944, priporočila, naj se čim prej sprejme konvencija o prenosu pravic na letalu,
GLEDE NA TO, da je v interesu nadaljnjega razvoja mednarodnega civilnega letalstva zelo zaželeno, da se pravice na letalu priznajo v mednarodnem merilu,
SO SE SPODAJ PODPISANI, ki so za to pravilno pooblaščeni, v imenu svojih vlad DOGOVORILI, KOT SLEDI:
I. člen
(1) Države pogodbenice se zavezujejo, da priznajo:
(a) lastninsko pravico na letalu;
(b) pravico pridobiti letalo z nakupom skupaj s posestjo;
(c) pravico imeti v posesti letalo na podlagi zakupnih pogodb za najmanj šest mesecev;
(d) hipoteko, zastavo in vsako podobno pravico na letalu, določeno s pogodbo kot jamstvo za plačilo dolga pod pogojem, da so bile take pravice:
(i) določene v skladu z zakonom države pogodbenice, v kateri je letalo registrirano ob uvajanju pravice,
(ii) pravilno vpisane v javni register države pogodbenice, v kateri je letalo registrirano po pripadnosti.
Pravilnost vrstnega reda vpisov v različnih državah pogodbenicah se ugotavlja po pravu države pogodbenice, v kateri je letalo registrirano po pripadnosti, in sicer ob vsakem vpisu.
(2) Nič v tej konvenciji ne preprečuje, da se priznajo pravice na letalu na podlagi prava katere koli države pogodbenice. Toda države pogodbenice ne smejo dopustiti ali priznati nobene pravice kot prednostne glede na pravice, navedene v prvem odstavku tega člena.
II. člen
(1) Vsi vpisi, ki se nanašajo na letalo, morajo biti v istem registru.
(2) Učinki vpisa posamezne pravice, navedene v prvem odstavku I. člena, se glede na tretjo osebo določijo v skladu s pravom države pogodbenice, v kateri je ta pravica vpisana, razen če s to konvencijo ni določeno drugače.
(3) Vsaka država pogodbenica sme prepovedati vpis posamezne pravice, ki je ni mogoče veljavno utemeljiti v skladu z njenim državnim pravom.
III. člen
(1) Naslov organa, odgovornega za register, mora biti naveden na potrdilu o registraciji vsakega letala po pripadnosti.
(2) Vsak lahko od tega organa dobi pravilno overjene kopije ali izpiske vpisanih podatkov. Take kopije ali izpiski so prima facie dokaz o vsebini vpisa.
(3) Če pravo države pogodbenice določa, da ima vložitev dokumenta za vpis enak učinek kot vpis, ima za namene te konvencije tudi tak učinek. V tem primeru se ukrene vse, da bo ta dokument dostopen javnosti.
(4) Organ, ki vodi register, sme zaračunati sprejemljive pristojbine za vse storitve, ki jih opravlja.
IV. člen
(1) Če kakršni koli zahtevki za:
(a) nadomestilo za reševanje letala ali
(b) posebne stroške, potrebne za hrambo letala,
po pravu države pogodbenice, v kateri se je končalo reševanje ali hramba, izhajajo iz pravice, da se stroški za to zaračunavajo letalu, države pogodbenice tako pravico priznajo in ima prednost pred vsemi drugimi pravicami na letalu.
(2) Zahtevkom iz prvega odstavka se ugodi po obratnem vrstem redu datumov nezgod, iz katerih ti zahtevki izhajajo.
(3) Vsak od navedenih zahtevkov se lahko vpiše v register v treh mesecih po končanem reševanju ali hrambi.
(4) Po preteku treh mesecev, omenjenih v tretjem odstavku, se navedeni zahtevki ne priznajo v drugih državah pogodbenicah, razen če ni bil v tem roku:
(a) zahtevek vpisan v register v skladu s tretjim odstavkom in
(b) znesek dogovorjen ali pa se je začel v zvezi z zahtevkom sodni postopek. Če gre za sodni postopek, sodišče določi možne primere, v katerih se lahko trimesečni rok prekine ali začasno odloži.
(5) Ta člen se uporablja ne glede na določbe drugega odstavka I. člena.
V. člen
Prednostna pravica iz prvega (d) odstavka I. člena se razširi na vse zneske, ki so z njo zajamčeni, vendar pa vključeni znesek obresti ne sme presegati tistega, ki je nastal v treh letih pred izvršilnim postopkom in med njim.
VI. člen
Državi pogodbenici upniku, ki zahteva zaplembo ali prisilno prodajo, ali kupcu ni treba priznati nobene pravice iz prvega odstavka I. člena ali prenosa take pravice, če je utemeljena ali uveljavljena in če je oseba, proti kateri postopek poteka, seznanjena s postopkom prodaje ali izvršbe.
VII. člen
(1) Letalo se prisilno proda po postopku, ki ga določa pravo države pogodbenice, v kateri se letalo prodaja.
(2) Pri tem pa je treba upoštevati te določbe:
(a) datum in kraj prodaje se določita najmanj šest tednov vnaprej;
(b) upnik, ki zahteva izvršbo, mora predložiti sodišču ali drugemu pristojnemu organu overjeni izpisek vpisa, ki se nanaša na letalo. Najmanj mesec dni pred določenim datumom mora upnik javno objaviti prodajo v kraju, kjer je letalo registrirano po pripadnosti v skladu s tam veljavnim pravom, in hkrati mora s priporočenim pismom, ki ga po možnosti pošlje na naslove iz registra, o tem uradno obvestiti lastnika, imetnike pravic na letalu in pravic, vpisanih v register v skladu s tretjim odstavkom IV. člena.
(3) Posledice nespoštovanja zahtev drugega odstavka so posledice, določene s pravom države pogodbenice, v kateri je opravljena prodaja. Vendar se lahko vsaka prodaja, pri kateri so bile kršene zahteve tega odstavka, razveljavi na zahtevo, ki jo oseba, ki je bila zaradi take kršitve oškodovana, poda v šestih mesecih od dneva take kršitve.
(4) Prisilna prodaja ni možna, če izkupiček od prodaje ne zadosti vsem pravicam, ki imajo prednost pred zahtevkom upnika, ki zahteva v skladu s to konvencijo izvršbo, in jih ugotovi pristojni organ, ali če jih kupec ne prevzame.
(5) Če ob upoštevanju katere koli pravice iz I. člena katero koli letalo, ki se zadrži kot jamstvo za dolg, povzroči poškodbo ali škodo osebam ali premoženju na tleh države pogodbenice, kjer poteka prisilna prodaja, in če prevoznik sam ali nekdo drug v njegovem imenu v kateri koli državi ne zagotovi ustreznega in učinkovitega zavarovanja države ali zavarovalnice za tako poškodbo ali škodo, lahko državno pravo te države pogodbenice v primeru zaplembe takega letala ali katerega koli drugega letala, ki je v lasti iste osebe in je obremenjeno s podobno pravico, ki jo ima isti upnik, določi:
(a) da določbe četrtega odstavka ne veljajo za oškodovanca ali njegovega zastopnika, če je ta hkrati upnik, ki zahteva izvršbo;
(b) da se pravice iz I. člena, ki so jamstvo za dolg in bremenijo letalo, za oškodovanca ali njegovega zastopnika uveljavljajo samo do 80% prodajne cene letala.
Če pravo države pogodbenice, v kateri se letalo prisilno prodaja, ne določa nobene druge omejitve, se šteje, da je odškodnina po tem odstavku primerna, če znesek zavarovalnine ustreza vrednosti zaplenjenega letala, ko je bil nov.
(6) Zakoniti stroški, nastali med postopkom izvršbe zaradi prodaje, se po pravu države pogodbenice, v kateri se opravi prodaja, in v skupnem interesu upnikov poravnajo iz zneska, dobljenega s prodajo, preden se poplačajo vse druge terjatve, tudi tiste, ki imajo prednost po IV. členu.
VIII. člen
Prisilna prodaja letala po VII. členu povzroči prenos lastnine na letalu brez pravic, ki jih kupec ni prevzel.
IX. člen
Ne sme se opraviti noben prenos vpisa letala iz državnega registra ali registra države pogodbenice v register druge države pogodbenice, razen če ni bilo zadoščeno imetnikom pravic, vpisanih v register, ali če niso dali soglasja k takemu prenosu, razen pri prisilni prodaji, v skladu s VII. členom.
X. člen
(1) Če se v skladu s pravom države pogodbenice, v kateri je letalo registrirano, kaka izmed pravic na letalu iz I. člena, ki je vpisana v register in je jamstvo za plačilo dolga, razširi na nadomestne dele, uskladiščene na enem ali več določenih krajih, tako pravico priznajo vse države pogodbenice, pri čemer morajo ti deli ostati v navedenih krajih, z ustreznim javnim obvestilom, ki podrobno navaja pravico, ime in naslov imetnika te pravice ter register, v katerega je ta pravica vpisana, in se objavi v kraju, v katerem so ti nadomestni deli. To obvestilo mora biti objavljeno v kraju, v katerem so nadomestni deli, tako, da tretje osebe pravilno obvesti, da so ti nadomestni deli obremenjeni.
(2) Popis, ki vsebuje vrsto in približno število takih nadomestnih delov, se priloži ali vključi v dokument v registru. Ti deli se lahko nadomestijo s podobnimi, ne da bi to vplivalo na pravico upnika.
(3) Prvi in četrti odstavek VII. člena in VIII. člen se uporabljajo za prisilno prodajo nadomestnih delov. Če je upnik, ki zahteva izvršbo, prednostni upnik, se v skladu s četrtim odstavkom VII. člena šteje, da je taka prodaja dovoljena, če je prejeta ponudba v znesku vsaj dveh tretjin vrednosti nadomestnih delov, kot so jo določili strokovnjaki, ki jih je imenoval organ, pristojen za prodajo. Poleg tega lahko ob delitvi iztržka od prodaje pristojni organ, da pokrije terjatev zaplembnega upnika, ki zahteva izvršbo, omeji znesek, plačljiv imetnikom prednostnih pravic, na dve tretjini iztržka od prodaje po plačilu stroškov, navedenih v šestem odstavku VII. člena.
(4) Za namene tega člena pomeni izraz “nadomestni deli” sestavne dele letala, motorje, vijake, radijske aparate, instrumente, naprave, pribor, dele teh sestavnih delov ter nasploh katere koli druge predmete, zadržane za vgraditev v letalo namesto odstranjenih delov ali predmetov.
XI. člen
(1) Določbe te konvencije se v vsaki državi pogodbenici uporabljajo za vsa letala, ki so registrirana v drugi državi pogodbenici.
(2) Vsaka država pogodbenica za letalo, ki je v njej registrirano, uporablja tudi:
(a) določbe II., III., IX. člena in
(b) določbe IV. člena, razen če je bilo reševanje ali hramba končano na njenem ozemlju.
XII. člen
Nič v tej konvenciji ne vpliva na pravico katere koli države pogodbenice, da za letalo uveljavlja svojo državno zakonodajo, ki se nanaša na priseljevanje, carino ali zračno plovbo.
XIII. člen
Ta konvencija se ne uporablja za letala, ki jih uporabljajo vojaški, carinski ali policijski organi.
XIV. člen
Za namene te konvencije lahko pristojni sodni in upravni organi držav pogodbenic neposredno sodelujejo ob upoštevanju vseh nasprotnih določb njihovega državnega prava.
XV. člen
Države pogodbenice sprejemajo take ukrepe, kot so potrebni za izpolnjevanje določb te konvencije, in o njih brez odlašanja obvestijo generalnega sekretarja Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva.
XVI. člen
Za namene te konvencije izraz “letalo” vključuje ogrodje letala, motorje, vijake, radijske aparate in vse dele za delovanje letala, ne glede na to, ali so v letalo vgrajeni ali začasno ločeni od njega.
XVII. člen
Če se na ozemlju, za zunanje zadeve katerega je odgovorna kaka država pogodbenica, za namene pripadnosti vodi poseben register letal, se v tej konvenciji sklicevanje na pravo države pogodbenice razume kot sklicevanje na pravo tega ozemlja.
XVIII. člen
Ta konvencija je na voljo za podpis, dokler ne začne veljati v skladu z določbami XX. člena.
XIX. člen
(1) Države podpisnice ratificirajo to konvencijo.
(2) Listine o ratifikaciji se deponirajo v arhivih Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva, ki o datumu deponiranja obvesti vse države, ki so konvencijo podpisale oziroma so k njej pristopile.
XX. člen
(1) Ko dve državi podpisnici deponirata svoji listini o ratifikaciji te konvencije, začne veljati konvencija med njima devetdeseti dan po deponiranju druge listine o ratifikaciji. Za vsako drugo državo, ki deponira svojo listino o ratifikaciji po tem datumu, začne konvencija veljati devetdeseti dan po deponiranju te listine.
(2) Mednarodna organizacija civilnega letalstva obvesti vsako državo podpisnico o datumu začetka veljavnosti te konvencije.
(3) Takoj po začetku veljavnosti konvencije jo generalni sekretar Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva registrira pri Združenih narodih.
