YOUR TELNO 1182 OF 9 DECEMBER: HONG KONG/TOKYO PASSENGER FARES.
PARA 2 TUR: CPA HAVE PROVIDED AN AIR INDIA HONG KONG TOK YO RETURN TICKET WHICH IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN PURCHASED AT A DISCOUNT. THE COUPONS ARE FESTOONED WITH THE USUAL PROHIBITIONS (NON-ENDORSEABLE, ETC) GOVERNING DISCOUNTED TICKETS BUT THE RATE SHOWN IN THE FARE BOX IS THE FULL IATA 5 - 17 DAY EXCURSION RATE. BUT EVEN THE DAA FARES SYSTEM NO LONGER APPLIES ON THIS ROUTE AS A RESULT OF A TOTAL BREAKDOWN IN OAA COMPLIANCE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS OF 1980, AND CPA AND JAL ARE OFFERING FARES BELOW OAA RATES. AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND, IT WOULD SEEM POINTLESS TO TAKE AIR INDIA TO TASK.
2. PARA 3 TUR: DCA HAS WRITTEN TO NORTHWEST ORIENT AIRLINES AS SUGGESTED IN PARA 3 OF TUR.
3. PARA 4 TUR: WE ARE STILL CONSIDERING THE PAA CARGO RATE FILING ON THE SINGAPORE/HONG KONG SECTOR. OUR READING OF BERMUDA 2 IS THAT PAA CAN ONLY FILE TO MATCH CPA ON A FIFTH FREEDOM SECTOR (WHICH IS INDEED WHAT PAA HAVE APPLIED TO DO), BUT A DIFFICULTY LIES IN THE FACT THAT CPA DO NOT CHARGE THE PUBLISHED RATE. AS WE SEE IT, PAA SHOULD BE AUTHORISED TO MATCH THE MARKET PLACE RATE BUT CPA SAY IT IS ONE THING AND PAA ANOTHER. UNTIL THIS ASPECT CAN BE RESOLVED
WE FIND OURSELVES UNABLE TO GIVE A VIEW.
