IF CPA HAD THE RIGHTS, THEY WOULD REPLACE JKT WITH SIN ON THE CURRENT 3 X 8707 HKG/KUL/JKT/PER V.V. SERVICES. CPA WOULD AIM TO EFFECT THIS REARRANGEMENT ON 1 APRIL 1978, ASSUMING THEY HAD RECEIVED CLEARANCE TO OPERATE THE TRISTAR HKG/SIN/JKT V.V.
ON A DAILY BASIS.
2. THIS REVISED PATTERN OF OPERATION WOULD PROVIDE ABOUT US DOLLARS 5.8 MILLION P.A. ADDITIONAL EARNINGS UNDER THE UK/SINGAPORE BILATERAL. DEPENDING ON TRAFFIC GROWTH, INCREASED EARNINGS WOULD RESULT FROM A SWITCH TO TRISTAR SERVICES AT
SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE.
3. BLUCK (CPA) HAD A MEETING RECENTLY WITH LIM CHIN BENG (SIA) AT THE LATTER'S REQUEST. ON THE QUESTION OF TRANS-PACIFIC SERVICES, LIM MADE A PROPOSAL ON THE BASIS OF 4 FLIGHTS WEEKLY ON THE ROUTE HKG/GUM/HNL/SFO: TWO TO OPERATE WITH A CPA FLIGHT NUMBER AND TO BE FLOWN BY CPA CREWS (BOTH FLIGHT DECK AND CABIN). LIM ASSUMED THAT THIS AIRCRAFT WOULD BE IN CPA COLOURS. THE OTHER AIRCRAFT WOULD BE IN SIA COLOURS ETC. LIM ASSUMED THAT THE TWO CPA SERVICES WOULD OPERATE UNDER BRITISH RIGHTS AND THE TWO SIA
SERVICES UNDER SINGAPORE RIGHTS.
4. LIM ALSO PROVIDED FINANCIAL DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL WHICH BRO ADLY ASSUMES AN EQUAL DIVISION OF COSTS AND EXPENDITURE. BLUCK UNDERTOOK TO HAVE THE PROPOSAL EXAMINED ALTHOUGH HE IS NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT ITS CHANCES AS A VIABLE PROPOSITION FOR CPA. WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIEWS REGARDING THE PROPOSED JOINT
SERVICE.
