German term

Fixkontingente und Ketten

German to English Bus/Financial Tourism & Travel Airline contract
The word "Kontigent" appears in this contract numerous times. I've translated it as contingent, but am not sure what that means. Specifically, I need to know how to translate "Fixkontigente". Also, what are Ketten in this context? Chains?

"Der Untercharterer hat -mit Ausnahme der Fixkontingente und Ketten- bis zum Abflugtag ein Rücktrittsrecht für die Sitzplätze."

Context: Contract issued if a company wishes to lease a plane from an airline.
Proposed translations (English)
3 Fixed quota and series
3 +2 fixed quota and links

Thank you, philgoddard. Ok, Steffen. Will do. :)
philgoddard Mar 22, 2015:
Ketten appears to be chains. I've found several instances of this in a chartering context, but no explanation of what it means. It may be something to do with journeys involving multiple charter airlines.
Steffen Walter Mar 22, 2015:
In future, please make sure ... ... to ask a separate question for each term. Thank you.

Fixed quota and series

I think the first answerer is correct with "fixed quota" and for "Ketten" I think "series" is the right word, as in 'charter series'.
Question though: is this a "lease" or a "charter" contract? Normally a lease contract won't mention seating at all.
Just my two cents worth :-)

Peer comment(s):
agree Adrian MM. (X) : albeit pluralised: fixed quotas..
6 hrs
neutral philgoddard : I think you've only answered half the question, which is not really your fault as it contains two terms.
7 hrs
agree Edith Kelly : I agree with the first term. As far as the second term is concerned, asker should post as a separate question.
