STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TRADE,
THE RT HON JOHN NOTT MP, HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY 17 JUNE
HONG KONG-LONDON AIR SERVICES
With permission, Mr Speaker, in view of the widespread interest in the matter, I would like to make an oral statement about the decision I have taken concerning air services between London and Hong Kong.
Last year three airlines, British Caledonian, Laker and Cathay Pacific, a Hong Kong based airline, applied to the Hong Kong Air Transport Licensing Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority for licences to operate on the London-Hong Kong route in addition to British Airways. At present British Airways provide the only direct service, although there are of course already a large number of services between Hong Kong and other European cities.
