(MR)
FOR STABLES FROM WILSON.
YOUR UNNUMBERED TELEGRAM OF 27 SEPTEMBER 1978.
1. I ASKED FOR YOUR ALLOT 3 TO BANGKOK NOT SIMPLY BECAUSE ALL ALLOT TELEGRAMS TO THIS AREA DEAL WITH CIVIL AVIATION ISSUES WITH WHICH BCARFE IS BY DEFINITION CONCERNED BUT ALSO BECAUSE PARA 1
OF BANGKOK'S CREDA 106 TO LONDON (TITLED QUOTE UX/THAI AIR SERVIOS AND EXPANSION OF DON MUANG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT UNQUOTE) MENTIONS YOUR ALLOT 3 IN THE SPECIFIC CONTEXT OF UK/THAILAND GOVERNMENTAL CIVIL AVIATION TALKS IN LONDON. CAN YOU THEREFORE PLEASE CONFIRM THAT YOUR ALLOT 3 (AND PERHAPS ALSO ALLOTS 4 AND 5) TO BANGKOK ARE OF NO CONCERN TO THE BRITISH CIVIL AVIATION REPRESENTATIVE IN THE FARE EAST OR TO THE CIVIL AIR ATTACHE AT EMBASSY BANGKOK.
IF YOU CAN SO CONFIRM CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE USE OF AN
ALLOT PREFACE.
PARA 2 OF CREDA 132 TO BANGKOK STATES THAT AIR SERVICES TALKS IN LONDON (18/19 SEPTEMBER) HAD BEEN AMICABLE/SUCCESSFUL. I HAVE SEEN NO REPORT OF THE OUTCOME OF THOSE TALKS AND ACCORDINGLY
CHECKED WITH DCA HONG KONG WHO SAID THAT HE HAD BEEN INFORMED THAT
THE RESULTS WERE OF NO INTEREST TO HONG KONG BECAUSE THEY DEALTH SOLELY WITH TRUNK ROUTE ISSUES. HE COMMENTED THAT HE
NEVERTHELESS UNDERSTOOD FROM CPA THAT THAI INTERNATIONAL HAD TOLD CPA THAT THEY INTENDED TO RAISE THE QUESTION OF TRANS-PACIFIC
OPERATIONS THROUGH HONG KONG AT THE LONDON TALKS BUT HE ASSUMED THIS HAD NOT ACTUALLY BEEN DONE. SINCE BCARFE IS CONCERNED WITH BOTH TRUNK AND REGIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ISSUES (AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW THEY CAN BE DISASSOCIATED, ESPECIALLY WHILE BA OPERATES ON THE BANGKOK/HONG KONG SECTOR), I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR EARLY GUIDANCE ON THE OUTCOME OF THE LONDON TALKS IN
MID-SEPTEMBER.
