CANBERRA TELNO ALLOT 8 OF 4 MAY TO DOT: UK/PAPUA NEW GUINEA
AIR SERVICES.
CPA WILL SHORTLY HAVE TO ADVISE BOTH THE PAPUA NEW GUINEA AUTHORITIES AND AIR NIUGINI OF THEIR INTENTION TO COMMENCE
OPERATIONS TO PORT MORESBY IN NOVEMBER 1978. IN THE LIGHT OF POSSIBLE FIFTH FREEDOM POLICY DEVELOPMENTS AS REPORTED IN TUR, WE
SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ADVICE ON THE TIMING OF THIS APPROACH.
2. WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE COMPLICATIONS WITH THE PNG AUTHORITIES,
BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ADVICE TO ANG MAY RESULT IN AN APPROACH FOR SOME FORM OF COMMERCIAL COOPERATION BEYOND THE BASIC 3RD/4TH
POOLING DOCUMENT WE HAD EARLIER ENVISAGED. WE ARE CONSIDERING
THIS ASPECT WITH CPA AND WILL REVERT LATER.
