LANDING RIGHTS
Retaliation By Philippines (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON. July 31. The Philippine Civil Aeronautics Board today cancelled the British Overseas Airways Corporation's temporary landing rights in Manila in retaliation for Britain’s refusal to permit a Philippine Air Lines’ flight to Bangkok via Hong Kong, the Associated Press reported. In a dispatch from Manila, the agency said the board stated the termination of the 8.0.A.C. permit applied to three flights a week passing through Manila. It said the termination would take effect 14 days from the announcement “so as not to inconvenience passengers who may have booked . . . and in order to give more time for consultations to take place." Officials of the two Governments have been trying without success to work out a solution to the impasse over the Bangkok flight. The British contend that the flight in effect gives KL.M, Royal Dutch Airlines an unauthorised through flight from Europe to ’ Bangkok. because Philippine Air Lines would use a chartered K.L.M. plane for the flight.
