C. COMMERCIAL ARRANGEMENTS. IT WAS ACCEPTED AT THE FEBRUARY TALKS
THAT BOTH SIDES WERE INTERESTED IN PROGRESSIVE GROWTH ON THE 3/4TH FREEDOM SECTOR TO MEET PUBLIC DEMAND WITHIN A FRAMEWORK THAT WOULD FACILITATE ECONOMIC OPERATIONS BY THE AIRLINES.

WE REALISE THAT THE MALAYSIANS WANT TO HOLD ON TO THEIR FIFTH FREEDOM RIGHTS BEYOND HONG KONG BUT THE FACT IS THAT THEY WILL BENEFIT FROM CPA COMING OFF THE KUALA LUMPUR/PERTH ROUTE AND, AGAINST A BACKGROUND OF A LARGE IMBALANCE OF EARNINGS IN FAVOUR OF MAS, WE SEE NO REASON WHY CPA SHOULD SUFFER IN ISLOLATION UNDER
THE AUSTRALIAN ICAP REGIME.
