To operate and maintain the facilities in a manner adequate for the air traffic in the airport at which the facilities are located and along the recognized international air routes converging on that airport and in pursuance of the rules for the time being in force within PICAO, of which Denmark is a member. 2. To provide on a non-discriminatory basis the service of the facilities to all aircraft under the rules of PICAO.
