1. Where the carrier holds a concession of a certain type of carriage or of the utilization of specific lines of transport, it shall be bound to accept all requests raised to the same, save where a request is contrary to the prescribed carriage conditions or where it is impossible for the carrier to execute it for reasons beyond its control. 2. Where the carriage requests exceed the capacity of the means of carriage which the carrier is licensed to use, he shall accept such requests according to their dates of submission, so that the request first raised shall have precedence over subsequent requests, unless some of such requests have priority pursuant to the carriage conditions.
