A DRAFT ASA HAS BEEN INITIALLED AND AN AGREED RECORD AND CMU SIGNED. COPIES WILL FOLLOW BY BAG. THE DETAILED PROVISIONS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO (BUT MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN) THE 1972 ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN THE UK AND EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY. THEY PROVIDE FOR ONLY ONE UK ROUTE (FROM LONDON VIA NAIROBI TO SEYCHELLES AND/OR JOHANNESBURG). FOR KENYA THERE ARE TWO ROUTES, AN ACTIVE ROUTE TO LONDON AND A SECOND ROUTE (WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE TO KENYA UNTIL AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ON CAPACITY, FREQUENCY ETC FOR THAT ROUTE) WHICH READS, IN THE CMU: QUOTE POINTS IN KENYA - SEYCHELLES BOMBAY - COLOMBO BANGKOK HONG KONG TOKYO.
-
UNQUOTE. NO 5TH FREEDOM RIGHTS HAVE YET BEEN REQUESTED.
2. THE KENYANS COULD NOT BE MOVED ON REQUIRING SINGLE DESIGNATION AS A CONDITION OF THE ASA. THERE COULD THUS BE NO QUESTION OF DESIGNATING A SECOND AIRLINE.
3. BA WILL CONTINE TO CARRY KENYA FAR EAST TRAFFIC BY CONNECTING OVER SEYCHELLES (ALTHOUGH UNDER SOMEWHAT MORE RESTRICTIVE CONDITIONS) FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION ONLY, THIS TRAFFIC IS SUBJECT TO ROYALTIES PAYABLE TO BOTH KENYA AIRWAYS AND AIR SEYCHELLES.
