(1)L’expéditeur a le droit, sous la condition d’exécuter toutes les obligations résultant du contrat de transport, de disposer de la marchandise, soit en la retirant l’aérodrome de départ ou de destination, soit en l’arrentant en cours de route lors d’un atterrissage, soit en la faisant délivrer au lieu de destination ou en cours de route à une personne autre que le destinataire initialement désigné, soit en demandant son retour à l’aérodrome de départ, pour autant que l’exercice de ce droit ne porte préjudice ni au transporteur, ni aux autres expéditeurs et avec l’obligation de rembourser les frais qui en résultent.
(2)Dans le cas où l’exécution des orders de l’expéditeur est impossible, le transporteur doit l’en aviser immédiatement.
(3)Si le transporteur se conforme aux ordres de disposition de l’expéditeur, sans exiger la production de l’exemplaire de la lettre de transport aérien ou du récépissé de la marchandise délivré à celui-ci, il sera responsable, sauf son recours contre l’expéditeur, du préjudice qui pourra être causé par ce fait à celui qui est régulièrement en possession de la lettre de transport aérien ou du récépissé de la marchandise.
(4)Le droit de l’expéditeur cesse au moment où celui du destinataire commence, conformément à l’article 13. Toutefois, si le destinataire refuse la marchandise, ou s’il ne peut être atteint, l’expéditeur reprend son droit de disposition.]
