AIRCRAFT DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
relating to
BOEING MODEL 777 AIRCRAFT
Both Boeing and Customer have certain documentation and approval responsibilities at various times during the construction cycle of Customer’s Aircraft that are critical to making the delivery of each Aircraft a positive experience for both parties. This Exhibit B documents those responsibilities and indicates recommended completion deadlines for the actions to be accomplished.
1. GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS.
          Certain actions are required to be taken by Customer in advance of the Scheduled Delivery Month of each Aircraft with respect to obtaining certain government issued documentation.
     1.1 Registration Documents.
                    Not later than 6 months prior to delivery of each Aircraft, Customer will notify Boeing of the registration number to be painted on the side of the Aircraft. In addition, and not later than 3 months prior to delivery of each Aircraft, Customer will, by letter to the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, authorize the temporary use of such registration number by Boeing during the pre-delivery testing of the Aircraft. Customer is responsible for furnishing any temporary or permanent registration certificates required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to be displayed aboard the Aircraft after delivery.
     1.2 Certificate of Sanitary Construction.
                    Boeing will obtain from the United States Public Health Service prior to delivery of each Aircraft a United States Certificate of Sanitary Construction for the Aircraft being delivered. The certificate will be delivered to Customer at delivery of each Aircraft, and Customer will display such certificate (or a written statement of the location of the original certificate) aboard each Aircraft after delivery to Customer.
