3. ALTHOUGH PARA.2(B) OF THE AGREED MINUTE OF 26 JAN 77 REQUIRES SCHEDULES TO BE APPROVED BY THE AERONAUTICAL AUTHORITIES, THIS IS SURELY MEANT IN THE CONTEXT OF SCHEDULE CONTROL ARISING FROM THE CONSTRAINTS OF AIRPORT FACILITIES. DISAPPROVAL ON COMMERCIAL CONSIDERATIONS IS QUITE.CONTRARY TO THE MEANING AND SPIRIT OF THE AGREEMENT. WE SHARE THE VIEW EXPRESSED BY BCARFE IN PARA.3 (LAST SENTENCE) OF HIS TELNO.
