ARTICLE 2 (a) Each of the air services so described shall be placed in opera- tion as soon as the contracting party to whom the rights have been granted by Article 1 to designate an airline or airlines for the route concerned has authorized an airline for such route, and the contract- ilg party granting the rights shall, subject to Article 6 hereof, be bound to give the appropriate operating permission to the airline or airlines concerned; provided that the airline so designated may be required to qualify before the competent aeronautical authorities of the contracting party granting the rights under the laws and regula- tions normally applied by these authorities before being permitted to engage in the operations contemplated by this agreement; and pro- vided that in areas of hostilities or of military occupation, or in areas affected thereby, such inauguration shall be subject to the approval of the competent military authorities. (b) It is understood that either contracting party granted com- mercial rights under this agreement should exercise them at the earliest practicable date except in the case of temporary inability to do so.
