CLARIFY THAT IN PORT MORESBY IN ONLY MENTIONED THE CONCEPT

QUOTED BY ANG TO COVER CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE PASSENGER LOAD FOR A THIRD SERVICE WAS SO SMALL. THAT NEITHER AIRLINE WOULD WISH TO OPERATE. IF ANG WILL ANYWAY WISH TO OPERATE, THE CONCEPT

TO JUSTIFY SPLITTING THE TOTAL INTO THREE EQUAL LOADS.
