CATCH UP A BIT. BOTH SIDES RECOGNISE THAT SUCH EXPANSION AS WILL
BE PERMITTED IN SIA'S SERVICES DURING THE PERIOD UP TO 31 MARCH
1981 UNDER THE DEAL NOW CONCLUDED FALLS SOMEWAY SHORT OF THE EXPECTED
GROWTH IN TRAFFIC AND THAT THIS WILL LEAVE ROOM FOR A HIGHER RATE OF INCREASE IN CPA'S CAPACITY AND EARNINGS (ESPECIALLY ON THE 3/4TH SECTORS AND ON INTERMEDIATE FIFTHS).
8. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION OF THE TRUNK ROUTE AND ROGERS DECLINED
PILLAY'S ATTEMPTS TO LINK THIS DEAL ON THE PACIFIC ROUTES WITH THE
TRUNK ROUTE IN ANY WAY.
9. WE PROPOSE NOT TO SAY ANYTHING IN PUBLIC ABOUT THIS DEAL IN
ORDER TO AVOID OFFENDING SINGAPORE'S SUSCEPTIBILITIES AND WOULD
BE GRATEFUL IF ALL ADDRESSEES (AND CPA) WOULD DO THE SAME.
10. WE SHALL ASK BHC SINGAPORE SHORTLY TO CONFIRM THE ADDITIONAL
RIGHTS ON UK ROUTE 2 BY EXCHANGE OF DIPLOMATIC NOTES. NO OTHER
ACTION WITH THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT SEEMS NEEDED.
