The provisions of Article 75 of the Convention concerning transit charges apply to air-mail correspondence only for its trans- mission, if any, by land or sea. The aerial transportation charges for air-mail articles sent in closed dispatches are collectible from the Administration of the country of origin. 2. Every Administration which assures the transportation of air- mail correspondence by the air route, as intermediate Adminis- tration, is entitled, on that ac- count, to payment of transporta- tion charges. These charges are computed in accordance with the actual length of the routes over which the dispatch or the articles have been carried. If the plane stops at several airports, the pay- ment is due as far as the airport where the unloading takes place. 3. Transportation charges must also be paid for transportation within the country of destination. These payments must be uniform for all the routes traversed in the domestic service; they are com- puted in accordance with the average length of all the routes traversed in the domestic service and their importance for the international service. 4. The transportation charges relative to one and the same air route are uniform for all Adminis- trations using that service with- out participating in the operating costs. 5. With the exceptions provided for in Sections 6 and 7 following, the aerial transportation charges are payable to the Postal Admin- istration of the country in which the airport where the dispatches have been taken in charge by the air service is located. 6.
