detailed in the K.i.M.'s let er, in the form of Section IV
of the Bahrain Civil Air Agreement•
3# ical Agent , Muscat, In the absence of the
Sultan, please approach his deputy, as follows s-
(1) for authority for the aircraft in question to fly
over the Sultan’s territories on the North side of the Culf
of Oman £ i.e.Cwadur) and land there, in this connection
please see Muscat Civil Air Agreement, paragraph II. 1 (ii).
(2) I am not quite clear whether it is intended that
permission shall be given to the K.L.M, to fly over the
territories of the Sultan. If not, their machines
after leaving Bahrain will have to fly round the tip of the
Has Musandum peninsula, thus considerably increasing the
length of their flight to Gwadur, which is already a very
.i,or% one, and will be entirely over the sea, in land machines.
It may be that the K.L.M., by permission of the Iranian Govern
ment, intend to continue using Jask; but even so, if they have
to fly round the peninsula and not across it, the length of
their flight will be appreciably increased. If permission
is granted to the K.L.M. to fly over the peninsula, they will
necessarily have to be given permission to fly over the
Trueial Coast, since it is only the extreme tip of the penin
sula which belongs to Muscat, and further South there is a
corridor independent of Muscat, running from the

About this item
- Content
The volume contains correspondence related to the concerns raised by the Sultan of Muscat and Oman regarding the landing of French and Dutch aeroplanes at Gwadur, which is part of his territory. The Sultan desires for these airlines to first obtain his authorization before flying over or landing anywhere in his territory. The volume includes correspondence between the British Government and the French and the Dutch governments asking to liaise with their respective airlines to write directly to the Sultan to obtain permission before using the airspace over his territories.
Air France and the Royal Dutch Airlines [KML] applied directly to the Government of Muscat and Oman to obtain the named permission, and they also wrote asking for a renewal of their applications every time an authorization expired. The volume includes copies of authorisations that are issued by the Sultan of Muscat and Oman for aircraft to land in and fly over Muscat and Oman.
The main correspondents in the volume are: the Government of India, Foreign and Political Department; the Secretary of State for India; the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. , Muscat; the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
