YOUR TELEGRAM NO 858 (NOT TO BONN):
LUFTHANSA DISCOUNT FOR MEMBERS OF THE FRG DIPLOMATIC SERVICE
1. WE CONFIRM THAT IN NOVEMBER 1977 THE CAA REFUSED PERMISSION FOR LUFTHANSA TO GIVE A DISCOUNT TO MEMBERS OF THE FRG DIPLOMATIC SERVICE (AND OTHER CATEGORIES OF FRG CIVIL SERVANTS SERVING OVER- SEAS) TRAVELLING TO AND FROM THE UK AND/OR BRITISH TERRITORIES OVERSEAS ON LUFTHANSA AIRCRAFT, IN LINE WITH THEIR NORMAL POLICY ON DISCOUNTING, LUFTHANSA HAD BEEN GIVING THE DISCOUNT FOR SOME TWENTY
YEARS BUT HAD NEVER SOUGHT PERMISSION FROM THE CAA TO DO SO. IT WAS
ONLY WHEN LUFTHANSA RE-REGISTERED THEIR AUTHORISATION WITH IATA FROM THE FRG FEDERAL MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT TO OFFER THE DISCOUNT, THAT THE CAA DISCOVERED ITS EXISTENCE.
2. WE HAVE HAD NO REACTION FROM THE FRG EMBASSY HERE.
