The Andean Community Member Countries apply Decision 582 to the provision of scheduled and non-scheduled international air passenger and mail transport services, both separate and combined, among their respective territories and between these and third countries.    

This Community Decision consolidates in a single piece of legislation the different subregional provisions on Andean Community air policy, updating them to comply with demands arising out of socioeconomic, technological and business organization changes of recent years (Decisions 297 and 320, 360 and 361). 

Decision 582 regulates the conditions for flights in and outside the subregion, the granting of permits and authorizations, and fares, taxes and marketing, among other matters.
