RESUMPTION OF AIRMAIL SERVICES TO MIDDLE EAST
Airmail services to Egypt, Israel and Syria have been resumed, the
Postmaster General announced today.
While there are no direct air services operating to these countries
from Hong Kong, he said, it was possible to route airmails through inter-
mediate countries. He warned, however, that delays in delivery may occur.
There is no change in the position regarding surface mail to
Egypt, Israel and Syria. This will remain suspended until shipping
services to these countries from Hong Kong are resumed.
Release time: 2.30 p.m.
