1. WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM D.0.T TO D.G.C.A LEBANON OF 3 JANUARY AND PRESUME THAT THE C.M.U MENTIONED IN PARA.1 IS THAT SIGNED ON 5 JANUARY (NOT 5 MAY)
1973.
2. WITH REGARD TO THE LETTER FROM STANDEN TO DOWNING OF 3 JANUARY 1978, WE HOLD NO STRONG VIEWS ON WHETHER THE PROPOSED THRICE-WEEKLY SERVICES SHOULD BE AUTHORISED TO CARRY TWO OR THREE PALLETS ON EACH FLIGHT. OUR INTEREST IS IN SEEING THAT THE SERVICES BETWEEN HONG KONG AND BEIRUT ARE REINSTATED AND IF THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH A TWO PALLET FORMULA, SO MUCH THE
BETTER.
3. WE DID NOT RECEIVE DETAILS OF THE COMMERCIAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN B.A AND TMA ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVIOUS AIR SERVICES ARRANGEMENTS AND WONDER WHAT PART, IF ANY, B.A WILL PLAY IN THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS.
