INFO PRIORITY SINGAPORE ROUTINE ABU DHABI DUBAI MUSCAT DELHI
KUALA LUMPUR JAKARTA
127.
YOUR TELNO 950 TO NEW DELHI: CONCORDE ROUTE TO SINGAPORE
1. I DULY INFORMED THE BAHRAIN MINISTER OF DEVELOPMENT AND
INDUSTRY. YUSUF SHARAWI NOW TELLS ME THAT BAHRAIN GOVERNMENT WANTS AN OFFICIAL REQUEST FOR AUTHORISATION TO RESUME SINGAPORE/ CONCORDE SERVICES EITHER FROM SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT OR FROM HHG.
AUTHORISATION WILL BE GRANTED, BUT FOR AN INITIAL PERIOD OF SIX
MONTHS, I THINK THE SHORT PERIOD IS CONNECTED NOT WITH THE
EXPERIMENTAL PERIOD AUTHORISED BY THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT BUT
WITH POSSIBLE DESIRE OF GULF AIR TO OPERATE A THIRD SERVICE TO
HONG KONG, AS THEIR PRESENT TWO WEEKLY SERVICES ARE DOING VERY WELL, 2. GRATEFUL FOR INSTRUCTIONS IF I AM TO APPROACH BAHRAIN GOVERNMENT CN BEHALF OF EITHER HMG OR SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT, WHICH IS NOT REPRESENTED HERE.
