Dear

,
Aden Airways recently approached the Director
of Civil Aviation with a view to initiating a service "between
Aden and ndia which would pass alternatively through either
Masira or'Muskat. According to our known information of
Muskat, substantiated as it is "by the fact that Muskat is
not included in the Muskat Air Agreement, we advised Aden
Airways that the airfield at Muskat was an emergency one only
and that no facilities for unseen approach or refuelling
were available there. We still think this is the position
and would be most grateful if you could confirm. At the
same time, Aden Airways are definitely interested in going
to Iviuskat if there is a possibility of the airfield being
opened up. Can you also let us Know whether, if a suitable
airfield does not already exist, one is in course of being
prepared?
2 « Aden Airways have the idea that they can
perform a useful service by linking Mombasa and Zanzibar
with Muskat and, alternatively, Muskat with India.
3* We would be most grateful if you could give
us your comments on this proposal and also if there is any
project of Muskat being used commercially in ths fonsseeable
future.
Yours ever,
His Excellency
