If the Council is of the opinion that the airports or other air navigation facilities, including radio and meteorological services, of a contracting State are not reasonably adequate for the safe, regular, efficient, and economical operation of international air services, present or contemplated, the Council shall consult with the State directly concerned, and other States affected, with a view to finding means by which the situation may be remedied, and may make recommendations for that purpose. No contracting State shall be guilty of an infraction of this Convention if it falls to carry out these recommendations.

A contracting State, in the circumstances arising under the provisions of Article 69, may conclude in arrangement with the Council for giving effect to such recommendations, The State may elect to bear all of the costs involved in any such arrangement.
