MY TELNO.486: U.K/SINGAPORE AIR SERVICES.
1. CPA SOURCES HAVE HEARD THAT SIA HAVE OBTAINED APPROVAL TO OPERATE THREE WEEKLY B747 SERVICES SIN/BKK/HKG/OSA V.V. IN PLACE OF THREE OF THEIR SEVEN WEEKLY B707 SERVICES ON THAT ROUTE, THUS RETAINING A DAILY SERVICE.
2. THIS WOULD, OF COURSE, PROVIDE FOR A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
IN CAPACITY ON WHICH WE AND D.0.T HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN. WE WOULD NOT, HOWEVER, WISH TO STAND IN THE WAY OF SIA SWITCHING B747 FOR B707 AIRCRAFT SO LONG AS THE EXISTING
CAPACITY ON THIS ROUTE IS MAINTAINED AT THE CURRENT LEVEL.
