Amendment to the Hong Kong/Netherlands ASA
up. pa. May
As the Chinese side will recall, the first
separated Air Services Agreement (ASA) was signed by Hong
Kong acting under a specific authorization from the UK
Government, and by the Netherlands on 17 September 1986.
Unlike subsequent ASAS, the Route Schedule Annex
to the Hong Kong/Netherlands ASA did not provide for beyond
points to be served. That was because no such requirement
was foreseen at that time.
More
authorities have
the
addition of
Kong/Netherlands
recently,
requested,
however,
the
Netherlands
and Hong Kong have agreed to,
a provision for beyond points to the Hong
ASA Route Schedule to enable the airlines
of both sides to develop their routes. It is therefore
proposed to amend the ASA to bring the Route Schedule into
conformity with those in other Hong Kong ASAS.
I am handing over a draft
between the

of Hong Kong and of

which will make the necessary amendment in
with Article 15 of the ASA. I am also handing
