,
The Ministry of Civil Aviation are considering
the question of protesting to the Governments concerned
against various instances of cabotage poaching and one of
the instances which has come under review is the carriage by
Swiss Air of cabotage traffic on the London-Kuwait route*
2* In view of the impending Swiss negotiations
it is not likely that any protest will be made to the
Swiss Government at the moment; but in case it should be
decided to take the matter up, we should be very glad if
^ you would let us have any statistics relating to this
traffic, and inform us whether any hardship would be
. inflicted on British subjects resident in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
if we decided to prevent Swiss Air from taking passengers
from London to Kuwait and vice versa in future*
3* Passengers from intermediate points to Kuwait
would not of course, be affected.
4* The different (and difficult) problem of whether
Swiss Air can continue to use the existing air strip at
Kuwait and if so, under what conditions is still under
consideration, in the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
5. We are sending a copy of this letter to Kuwait.
Tours ever,
^ GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
