1. FOLLOWING IS TEXT OF A LETTER SENT BY ME TODAY. TO MANICKA, BEGINS
I HOPE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AT THE OUTCOME OF THE AIR SERVICES TALKS JUST COMPLETED. ALTHOUGH HAMZAH MAJID EXPRESSED SOME DISAPPOINTMENT AND THE NEW STRAITS TIMES TALKED IN A HEADLINE OF DEADLOCK, IT APPEARS TO US THAT SOLID PROGRESS WAS MADE.
THE TALKS WERE OF COURSE IN A TECHNICAL FORUM AND OUR SIDE CONSIDERED THAT THEY WERE HELD IN A CONSTRUCTIVE AND BUSINESSLIKE ATMOSHPERE, AS A RESLUT OF WHICH A SOLID BSIS FOR CALCULATING CAPACITY
ON ALL ROUTES WAS EITHER REACHED OR IN PROSPECT. THIS
HAS GREATLY FACILITATED THE CHANCES OF SUCCESSS IN WORKING OUT
A NEW UNDERSTANDING IN THE SPIRIT OF GOODWILL AND COOPERATION WHICH IS OUR DESIRE.
YOU ARE AWARE OF COURSE THAT FROM SOME POINTS OF VIEW, IN PARTICULAR THE AUSTRALIA/ASEAN TALKS ON ICAP AND ALLIED MATTERS, THE TIMING OF THESE TALKS WAS NOT IDEAL AS ALL THESE INTERI,OCKING ISSUES ARE OF GREAT COMPLEXITY. DESPITE THIS, THE SOLID PROGRESS MADE WAS FRANKLY GREATER THAN SOME OF OUR EXPERTS WOULD HAVE PREDICTED.
AIRBUS
FIRM AGREEMENT ON A DAILY AIRBUS SERVICE BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND HONG KONG IS A POSITIVE STEP, PARTICULARLY AS THIS MIGHT HAVE CREATED SOME DIFFICULTIES ON OUR SIDE. THE TRUNK ROUTE BETWEEN KUALA LUMPUR AND LONDON WAS. ALSO CAREFULLY EXAMINED AND IT IS CLEAR THAT, ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT MUTUALLY SATISFACTORY ICAP TERMS ARE AGREED, MAS CAN LOOK FORWARD TO AN EARLY INCREASE IN CAPACITY ON THIS
THIS WOULD CERTAINLY INVOLVE ONE EXTRA DC10.
