OUR TELNO 982: REPLACEMENT AIRPORT TECHNICAL DISCUSSIONS.

WE PRESUME THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NO DEVELOPMENTS BUT GRATEFUL IF PEKING WOULD REPORT ON THE LATEST POSITION.

2. WE HAD HOPED THAT THE PROPOSED DISCUSSIONS WOULD TAKE PLACE BEFORE A PROGRAMME OF IMPORTANT MEETINGS WITH OUR REPLACEMENT AIRPORT CONSULTANTS STARTING ON 25 NOVEMBER. IF THE DATES WE ORIGINALLY PUT FORWARD CANNOT BE MET (AS NOW SEEMS ALMOST CERTAIN), WE WOULD LIKE CAAC TO SUGGEST ALTERNATIVE DATES.
