TO ROUTINE F C O TELNO 986 OF 30 SEPTEMBER 1977 INFO TOK YO.
UK/JAPAN AIR SERVICES
CPA CONCLUDED A SUCCESSFUL POOL MEETING WITH JAL ON 20/21 SEPTEMBER, THE MINUTES OF WHICH HAVE BEEN COPIED TO BCARFE.
2. AT THE MEETING, JAL PROPOSED TO INTRODUCE A NORTHBOUND STOP AT OSAKA ON THEIR ONCE-WEEKLY B747F FREIGHTER SERVICE, ONCE OSAKA IS AVAILABLE TO WIDE-BODIED AIRCRAFT. AS THIS AIRCRAFT GOES ON TO US WEST COAST, THE NEW ROUTING WAS SIMPLY TO POSITION THE AIRCRAFT AND JAL OFFERED TO OPERATE THE SERVICE WITHOUT TRAFFIC RIGHTS HKG/OSA. CPA HAD NO OBJECTION TO THIS BUT QUITE RIGHTLY POINTED OUT THAT THIS WOULD NEED GOVERNMENT APPROVAL AS A FIFTEENTH SERVICE TO OSAKA WOULD BE IN BREACH OF PARA 10(C) OF THE MARCH 1977 AMC.
3. WE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE JAL PROPOSAL AND THEREFORE SEEK YOUR APPROVAL.
