SERVICES.

with me
2. WE DECIDED IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO SEND AN ASSISTANT
DIRECTOR. WE HAVE THEREFORE REPLIED SAYING THAT LATHAM (ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CIVIL AVIATION) AND LOK (SUPERINTENDENT OF AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES) WILL BE PREPARED TO GO TO CANTON ON 15 NOVEMBER, AS WELL AS LISTENING TO WHAT THE CHINESE HAVE TO SAY, WE INTEND TO DISCUSS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS PROCEDURES IN THE
LIGHT OF THE CANTON FAIR CHARTER FLIGHTS.
3. IN RESPONDING TO THE CHINESE REQUEST FOR FURTHER CHARTER FLIGHT3
BEYOND THE PERIOD OF THE AUTUMN TRADE FAIR, WE PROPOSE THAT LATHAM SHOULD TAKE THE FOLLOWING ATTITUDE:
(A) WE ARE PREPARED TO RESPOND POSITIVELY TO FURTHER PROPOSALS
FOR CHARTER FLIGHTS WHICH FALL WITHIN THE EXISTING REGULATIONS AND
FOR WHICH DCA HONG KONG HAS AUTHORITY TO GIVE APPROVAL (EG INCLUSIVE TOUR CHARTERS AND ADVANCE BOOKING CHARTERS) AND (B) IF THE CHINESE MAKE PROPOSALS FOR WHAT APPEAR IN EFFECT TO BE
SCHEDULED SERVICES TO CANTON AND OTHER DESTINATIONS, HE SHOULD RESTRICT HIMSELF TO SAYING THAT HE WILL TAKE NOTE AND REPORT.
4. IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, PLEASE SEND THEM TO REACH HERE ON
14 NOVEMBER.
