28th October, 1937.
Sir,
I em directed by the Secretary of State for Air to
refer to Air Ministry * letter S.36920/IV of 9th June, 1937
relative to the provision by him of certain facilities at
Koweit, Bahrein, Dibai, Sharjah and Owadar, and to Air Ministry
letter 467967/35/PD of 25th June, 1937 regarding maintenance
and operation at Gwadar, and to state that so far as Sharjah
is concerned, works services will continue to be undertaken by
the Air Ministry Works and Buildings Department, and
meteorological facilities will be under the control of the
Government of India Meteorological Department.
2. Wireless, aerodrome lighting and floodlight equipment
will be provided by the Air Ministry, and Viscount Swinton
desires that your Company should continue to operate these.
As from the agreed date from which all-up mail for India is
conveyed on this route, he will be prepared, as in the case of
Gwadar, to refund your Company's reasonable expenditure actually
incurred upon operation and maintenance.
3. It will be recollected that your Company undertook,
by acceptance of the arrangements proposed in Air Ministry
letter of 9th June referred to above, to be responsible for
the payment of landing fees at the average rate per landing
provided in the confidential estimates for landings at stopping
places not coming within the scope of clause 25(1> (a) of the
Empire Agreement. Viscount Swinton proposes therefore that
quarterly statements of expenditure incurred by your Company
in connection with the maintenance and operation of the
equipment at Sharjah and Gwadar should be submitted, a deduction
being made, in the case of Sharjah, of a sum representing the
equivalent of 30/- per landing, less Rs. 5 per landing paid
direct by the Company to the Shaikh of Sharjah, for the actual
number of landings by your Company's aircraft in that quarter,
and in the case of Gwadar, of a sum representing the
equivalent of 30/- per landing for the actual number of landings
in the quarter.
4. Viscount Swinton desires that your Company should
continue to assume responsibility for the management of the
aerodrome in so far as is consistent with the terms of an
agreement dated 22nd July, 1932 between His Majesty's
Government and the Shaikh of Sharjah, and for airway and
air traffic control.
5. I am to request you to state whether the arrange
ments contemplated above are acceptable to your Company.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
/Sgd.) J. S. ROSS.
The Secretary,
Imperial Airways Ltd. ,
Airway Terminus,
