About this item
- Content
The volume contains telegrams, and letters between British officials and the Sultan of Muscat and Oman related to the signing of a civil air agreement between the two governments. The volume includes drafts of the Muscat Civil Air Agreement both in Arabic and in English (ff 13-30). These were shared with the Sultan for amendments and further discussions. On 25 October 1934, an agreement valid for four years (ff 74-96) was signed between Major Claude Edward Bremner, the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. , Muscat, on behalf of His Majesty’s Government and Sa‘id bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd, the Sultan of Muscat and Oman on behalf of the Government of Muscat and Oman. The contents of the agreement are the following:
- Air navigation regulations for civil aircraft made by His Highness the Sultan of Muscat and Oman
- Heads of agreement between His Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom and the Sultan
- Conditions laid down with the approval of the Sultan to govern the use of the aerodrome at Muscat
- Special authorisation for aircraft to land in and fly over Muscat
- Extract from Air Ministry notice to airmen
- Housing fees.
Alterations to the agreement were discussed among the two parties, which resulted in a modified copy of the agreement (ff 208-223) that was signed on 20 March 1935.
Other issues discussed in the volume are the following: the British Government’s expectation of the use free of charge of existing or future service facilities for the Royal Air Force in Muscat territory, and that the military aircraft belonging to or employed in the service of His Majesty shall at all times enjoy priorities; the use of the facility at Gwadur by private aircraft; and the question of whether to allow French and Dutch aircraft to use the facilities in Muscat territories and the conditions around that.
