FOR Germany
Check your passport and travel documents before you travel

Passport validity
If you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San
Marino or Vatican City, you must follow the Schengen area passport requirements.

Your passport must be:

issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’)
valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)
You must check your passport meets these requirements before you travel. If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra
months may have been added to its expiry date.

Contact the embassy of the country you are visiting if you think that your passport does not meet both these requirements. Renew your
passport if you need to.

Visas
You can travel to countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. This applies if you travel as a
tourist, to visit family or friends, to attend business meetings, cultural or sports events, or for short-term studies or training.
If you are travelling to Germany and other Schengen countries without a visa, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day limit.
Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days.

To stay longer, to work or study, for business or for other reasons, you will need to meet the German government’s entry
requirements. Check with the German Embassy what type of visa and/or work permit, if any, you will need.

If you are travelling to Germany for work, read the guidance on visas and permits. You can get detailed information on employment
regulations from the German Embassy.

If you stay in Germany with a residence permit or long-stay visa, this does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit.

Passport stamping
Check your passport is stamped if you enter or exit the Schengen area through Germany as a visitor. Border guards will use passport
stamps to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit for short stays in the Schengen area. If relevant entry or exit stamps
are not in your passport, border guards will presume that you have overstayed your visa-free limit.

You can show evidence of when and where you entered or exited the Schengen area, and ask the border guards to add this date and
location in your passport. Examples of acceptable evidence include boarding passes and tickets.

You may also need to:

show a return or onward ticket


show you have enough money for your stay
If you are resident in Germany, read our Living in Germany guide for passport stamping information.

Proof of residence
If you are resident in Germany, carry proof of your residence when travelling. If you were living in Germany before 1 January 2021,
you should carry your residence document (Aufenthaltsdokument-GB), as well as your valid passport when you travel. If you have
applied but not yet received your document, carry your certificate of application (Fiktionsbescheinigung).
If you cannot show that you are resident in Germany, you may be asked additional questions at the border to enter the Schengen area,
and your passport may be stamped. This will not affect your rights in Germany.

● UFTAA
Answer
INTRODUCTION:
UNITED FEDERATION OF TRAVEL AGENTS ASSOCIATIONS

The United Federation of Travel Agents' Associations (UFTAA) emanates from the Universal Federation of Travel Agents'
Associations created in Rome, Italy, on November 22nd, 1966. UFTAA was originally founded as a result of a merger of two
large world organisations, FIAV and UOTAA, recognising the need to unify travel agencies and tour operators into one
international federation.

In 1989, coming from Brussels, UFTAA set up its General Secretariat in the Principality of Monaco.

● PATA
Answer

The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) is a membership association acting


as a catalyst for the responsible development of the Asia Pacific travel and
tourism industry. In partnership with PATA's private and public sector
members, we enhance the sustainable growth, value and quality of travel
and tourism to and from and within the region.

2. By the early 1950s those who had an interest in the region were facing a tremendous range of opportunities. In 1952,
commercial use of the jet airplane was still several years away and so was the explosion in Pacific travel that would occur in
the 1960s. However, the Pacific Area Travel Conference of 1952 began to lay the essential foundation for the boom years to
follow.

3. At the Second Pacific Area Travel Conference, the young organisation became known as the Pacific Area Travel Association.
In 1986, in Kuala Lumpur, the Board of Directors approved the Association's current name, Pacific Asia Travel Association
(PATA).

ABOUT:

The PATA Foundation is a natural extension of PATA's dedication to the principles of conservation, which are part of the
Association's charter. When the concept of a charitable foundation was first proposed at the 33rd PATA Annual Conference
in 1984, there was unanimous member approval.
● ICAO
Answer
NTRODUCTION: -

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialised


agency of the United Nations, codifies the principles and techniques
of international air navigation and fosters the planning and
development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly
growth. Its headquarters are located in the Quarter International of
Montreal. Quebec Canada.

The ICAO should not be confused with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a trade organisation for airlines also
headquartered in Montreal, or with the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO), an organisation for Air Navigation
Service Providers (ANSP's) with its headquarters at Amsterdam Airport Schiphzl in the Netherlands
FOUNDATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION (ICAO)

The consequence of the studies initiated by the US and subsequent consultations between the Major Allies was that the US
government extended an invitation to 55 States or authorities to attend, in November 1944, an International Civil Aviation
Conference in Chicago. Fifty-four States attended this Conference end of which a Convention on International Civil Aviation
was signed by 52 States set up the permanent International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as a means to secure
international co-operation an highest possible degree of uniformity in regulations and standards, procedures and
organisation regarding civil aviation matters. At the same time the International Services Transit Agreement and the
International Air Trasnod Agreement were signed.
The most important work accomplished by the Chicago Conference was in the technical field because the Conference laid the
foundation for a set of rules and regulations regarding air navigation as a whole which brought safety in flying a great step
forward and paved the way for the application of a common air navigation system throughout the world.

This Organization was in operation from August 1945 to April 1947 when the permanent ICAO came into being. Its seat was
in Montreal, Canada and in 1947 the change from PICAO to ICAO was little more than a formality. However, it also brought
about the end of ICAN because, now that ICAO was firmly established, the ICAN member States agreed to dissolve ICAN by
naming ICAO specifically as its successor Organization.

As a consequence of the above ICAO adopted the concept of


Regions and Regional Offices on the understanding that any
regional activities could only be undertaken provided they did
not conflict with the world wide activities of the Organization.
However, it was also recognised that such activities could vary
from Region to Region taking into account the general
economic, technical or social environment of the Region

● Warsaw Convention
Answer

INTRODUCTION:

The Warsaw Convention is an international convention which regulates liability for international carriage of persons, luggage
or goods performed by aircraft for reward. Originally signed in 1929 in Warsaw (hence the name), it was amended in 1955 at
The Haque and in 1975 in Montreal, United States courts have held that, at least for some purposes, the Warsaw Convention
is a different instrument from the Warsaw ConventionAs Amended by the
Hague Protocol.

In particular, the Warsaw Convention

mandates carriers to issue passenger tickets

requires carriers to issue baggage checks for checked luggage

creates a limitation period of 2 years within which a claim must be brought


(Article 29) and Limits a carrier's ability to at most

250,000 Francs or 16,600 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) for personal injury.

17 SDR per kilogram for checked luggage and cargo, or $20USD per kilogram for non-signatories of the amended Montreal
Protocols. 5.000 Francs or 332 SDR for the hand luggage of a traveller. On June 1, 2009, the exchange rate was 1.00 SDR
1.088 EUR or 1.00 SDR - USD 1.548
The Montreal Convention signed in 1999, replaced the Warsaw Convention system.

● Montreal Convention
Answer
INTRODUCTION: -
The Montreal Convention, formally the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage, is a treaty
adopted by a Diplomatic meeting of ICAO member states in 1999. It amended
important provisions of the Warsaw Convention's regime concerning
compensation for the victims of air disasters. The Convention re-establishes
urgently needed uniformity and predictability of rules relating to the
international carriage of passengers, baggage and cargo. Whilst maintaining the
core provisions which have successfully served the international air transport
community for several decades ( that the Warsaw regime), the new convention
achieves the required modernisation in a number of key areas. It protects
passengers by introducing a two-tier liability system and by facilitating the swift
recovery of proven damages without the need for lengthy

● Chicago Convention
Answer

INTRODUCTION: -

The Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the Chicago Convention, established the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations charged with coordinating and regulating
international air travel. The Convention establishes rules of airspace, aircraft registration and safety, and details the rights of
the signatories in relation to air travel. The Convention also exempts air fuels from tax.

The document was signed on December 7, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, by 52 signatory states. It received the requisite 26th
ratification on March 5, 1947 and went into effect on April 4, 1947, the same date that ICAO came into being. In October of
the same year, ICAO became a specialised agency of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). The
Convention has since been revised eight times (in 1959, 1963, 1969, 1975, 1980, 1997, 2000 and 2006). Links to all versions
of the document can be found in the external links section. The original signed document resides in the National Archives of
the United States.

Connects passengers from Europe and Asia to other countries in the Americas via US ports. Unlike the Kangaroo Route,
however, these flights are not direct. For argument's sake, AA 168 from Tokyo-Narita to JFK ends in JFK. However, AA 290
from JFK to EZE is a different flight number. The point being, on Kangaroo flights one can catch, say, BA 167 from SYD to BKK
to LHR on the same flight number. British Airways commonly tickets passengers from America to Asia via London, Iceland air
sells tickets between Europe and North America via Iceland, Finnair sells tickets from North America to Asia via Helsinki.

B) The client is probing to find how knowledgeable you are in the Travel Industry, to see if you are qualified enough to prepare this
package for him. So he has put forward a new question for
you . Please write your response/s below. (Merit)

● “Can you please explain ‘the freedoms of the air’ with regard to my package?” Which freedoms are applicable to my route,
using the route and airlines that you have chosen for my tour package?

*Note – Please explain the different freedoms of the air and then present the applicable
freedoms which are achieved in the package

Answer-

FREEDOMS OF THE AIR


The freedoms of the air are a set of commercial aviation rights granting a country's airline(s) the privilege to enter and land in
another country's airspace. Formulated as a result of disagreements over the extent of aviation liberalisation in the
Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944, (known as the Chicago Convention) the United States had called for a
standardised set of separate air rights which may be negotiated between states but most of the other countries involved
were concerned that the size of the US airlines would dominate all world air travel if there were not strict rules.

The convention was successful in drawing up a multilateral agreement in which the first two freedoms, known as the
International Air Services Transit Agreement, or “TwoFreedoms Agreement" were open to all signatories. As of the summer
of 2007, the treaty is accepted by 129 countries.

The following are the rights attached to each of the freedoms off the air.

FIRST FREEDOM:

The first freedom is the right to fly over a foreign country without landing. It is also
known as the technical freedom .It grants the privilege to fly over the territory of a
treaty country without landing. Member states of the International Air Services Transit
Agreement grant this freedom (as well as the second freedom) to other member states,
subject to the transiting aircraft using designated air routes.

As of the summer of 2007, 129 countries were parties to this treaty .Including such large
ones as the United States of America, India, and Australia. However, Brazil, Russia,
Indonesia, and China never joined, and Canada left the treaty in 1988. These large and
strategically located non-IASTA-member states prefer to maintain tighter control over foreign airlines' overflight of their
airspace, and negotiate transit agreements with other countries on a case-by-case basis.
Since the end of the Cold War, first freedom rights are almost completely universal, although most countries require prior
notification before an overflight, and charge substantial fees for the privilege.

SECOND FREEDOM:

The second freedom allows technical stops without the enplaning or


deplaning of passengers or cargo. It is the right to stop in one country
solely for refuelling or other maintenance on the way to another country.

The most famous example of the second freedom is Shannon Airport.


Which was used as a stopping point for most North Atlantic flights until
the 1960s ,Anchorage was similarly used for flights between Western Europe and East Asia, bypassing Soviet airspace, until
the 1980s, Anchorage is still used by some mainland Chinese and Taiwanese airlines for flights to the US and Toronto from
mainland China and Taiwan. Also, flights between Europe and South Africa often stopped at Ilha do Sal (Sal Island), off the
coast of Senegal, due to many African nations refusing to allow South African flights to overfly their territory during the
Apartheid regime. Gander, Newfoundland was also a frequent stopping point for airlines from the USSR and East Germany on
the way to the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and South America.

Because of longer range of modern airliners, second freedom rights are comparatively rarely exercised by passenger carriers
today, but they are widely used by air cargo carriers, and are more or less universal between countries

THIRD FREEDOM :
The third freedom is the right to carry passengers or cargo from one's own country to
another.

The third freedom was the first commercial freedom.

FOURTH FREEDOM:

The right to carry passengers or cargo from another country to one's own is the
fourth freedom.

Third and fourth freedom rights are almost always granted simultaneously in
bilateral agreements between countries.

FIFTH FREEDOM:

The fifth freedom allows an airline to carry revenue traffic between foreign countries as a part of services connecting the
airline's own country. It is the right to carry passengers from one's own country to a second country, and from that country to a
third country (and so on). The "unofficial 'seventh freedom’ ” is a variation of the fifth freedom and allows international
services wholly outside of an airline's origin. An example of a fifth freedom flight is a 2004 Emirates Airlines flight originating
in Dubai, then going on to Brisbane, Australia, and then from Brisbane to Auckland, New Zealand, where tickets can be sold
on any or all sectors, and in the reverse direction if flights are offered. It is also called a connecting flight.
SIXTH FREEDOM :

The unofficial sixth freedom combines the third freedom and fourth freedoms and is the right to carry passengers or cargo

from a second country to a third country by stopping in one's own country.

Cathay Pacific Airways , Thai Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and other airlines in Asia use sixth-freedom rights
extensively to fly passengers between Europe and Australasia (also known as the Kangaroo Route). Likewise, American
Airlines
