"American Aviation Daily" of G/y/W], Ar. John Ceilings, Acting Executive
Vice President of T.W.n. has recently denied rumours that T.V.A.'s foreign
routes might be taken over by P.ii.i.., or that the 2 Companys might be combined.
The rumours are described as "erroneous and irresponsible".

96. Notification has been received from H.A. Tiinister, iingora, that the Turkish
Ainistry of Foreign affairs now insist that 5 days - instead of 43 hours -
notice must in future be givun of arrival of special i.e., mon-scheduled
operation, aircraft in Turkey. H. .. minister adds that he has heard
unofficially that t.-ie will shortly be increased to 10 days. The question of an
approach to the Turkish authorities, to induce them to agree that 48 hours notice
is sufficient provided that the British authorities concerned give an assurance
that they will rigidly observe the 48 hour period, is under consideration. This
may also involve the acceptance of sanctions which the Turkish authorities might
wish to impose on aircraft which arrive in Turkey without prior clearance having
been obtained.

97• From a B.O.A.C. source in Beirut , it seems that difficulties are still
being experienced in implementing'the middle East air Lines request for the

including the Dakota services which have hitherto been operated to doubtful
standards outside the Corporation's control. We are having discussions with
B.O.A.C. on the subject with a view to the maintenance of B.O.A.C. association
with A.E.A.L* and if possible, strengthened to cover thu whole fleet of A.E.A.L.
The situation is further complicated by the suggested amalgamation between
A.E.a.L. and the French Company C.G.T.
