DOT has decided that CPA could mount a fourth weekly service so long as the Bahrain authorit- ies do not object and so long as the service is not conditional upon Gulf Air services to Hong Kong. Since Hong Kong welcomes Gulf Air services and since the Bahrain authorities have indicated that they have no objection to CPA's 4th service, FCO has been asked to give clearance for the fourth weekly service.
Amber One was reopened on 23rd March 1978. Applications for operation of non-scheduled flights would be considered on a case by case basis.
