Hong Kong urging that this arrangement should
be renegotiated.
MANILA ONLY Moreover, the confidential Memorandum
of Understanding signed at the time of the
negotiations with Malaysia only permitted CPA to
operate between Jesselton and Manila until the
Malaysia-Singapore airline started their own service
to Manila. We do not know when precisely this will
be but are confident that they will wish to operate
once they have completed the reorganisation which
they are at present undergoing.
TO ALL
4.
We have also borne in mind that as CPA have
already announced their decision the possible political
damage cannot be forestalled.
5. We hope that continuance of CPA's direct
service between Hong Kong and Manila wilɣmitigate
the effects of their decision and we shall be
grateful for confirmation that this is their
intention.
6.
Meanwhile Butterfield and Swire of Hong Kong.
are sending CPA's Traffic Manager, Mr. J. Dick,
to Manila to examine the situation. We do not
expect very much to come out of this visit but we
shall encourage him to call on you and we hope that
his report may encourage CPA to resume their
Manila/Jesselton service.

Strictly for your own information, the
Confidential Memorandum of Understanding signed at
the time of the negotiations with Malaysia only
permitted CPA to operate between Jesselton and
Manila until the Malaysia-Singapore airline started
their own service to Manila. We do not know when
precisely this will be but are confident that they
will wish to operate once they have completed the
reorganisation which they are at present undergoing.
CPA are of course well aware of this position but we
do not wish to say anything which would start up any
further requests by CPA.
