BECAUSE OF A GREAT NUMBER OF BOOKINGS GOR TRAVEL AFTER 1 APRIL, BOTH ME AND PAA ARE ANXIOUS THAT THE FACILITY SHOULD NOT FALL AWAY. GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF YOU WOULD URGENTLY GIVE APPROVAL FOR THE FARES TO CONTINUE BEYOND 1 APRIL AT CURRENT LEVELS PENDING CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED INCREASES UNQUOTE. 2. PAN AM SAID THAT COST JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSED APEX ECONOMY FARE IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE FROM U.S. VERY SOON.
