SIA Trans-Pacific Services
Amendments to the Rogers/Pillay package (FCO telno. 499 of 8 June 1978 to us) provided for, inter alia :
2.
(a) Sympathetic consideration to be given to an
SIA request to advance the substitution by B747s of two of the 4 x DC-10 trans-Pacific services;
(b) SIA to have temporary rights Guam/Hong Kong
westbound only while there is no British operator on the route and while DC-10s remain on the trans- Pacific route;

SIA have now filed their summer schedule effective 1 April. This includes extra services authorised as at (b) and (c) above, but leaves introduction of B747s at 1 September 1979.
Yours ever,
(Alan Fung)
