BILATERAL AIR AGREEMENT WITH PERU | |
|
You will recall that at the time of Mr. H.O. Moran's visit to Lima early in January of this year, there was some discussion with the Peruvian authorities on the possibility of concluding a bilateral air agreement between Peru and Canada. This followed on a proposal by Canadian Pacific Airlines that they institute air services between Vancouver and Latin America on a route which would include Mexico City, Lima and Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo. We understand that the Peruvians gave some indication that they would be in favour of such an agreement. 2. I would be glad if you would now make a formal proposal that negotiations be commenced. Three copies of a draft agreement are enclosed, two copies of which you should forward to the Peruvian authorities. Please ask them whether they are willing to accept this draft as a basis for negotiation, and let them know that we will be prepared to consider any changes they might like to see made in it. 3. Our draft follows a standard pattern which we like to adhere to in our bilateral air agreements. The actual rights to be exchanged will be listed in a schedule to the agreement and will be largely determined by the routes to be laid down in the schedule. You will note that the part of the schedule dealing with routes has been left blank. 4. If the Peruvians are willing to negotiate and can accept our draft as a basis, we will then take up with them the question of route designation. We have not yet definitely settled on what we will ask for, but you can let them know as a preliminary indication that we are primarily interested in a route from Vancouver to Lima via Mexico City and onward to Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, or perhaps both. We will not require an intermediate stop in the United States. If Canadian Pacific Airlines are authorised to operate this route, services could probably begin in 1953. 5. We would be interested in knowing what rights the Peruvians are likely to ask for in return. H.O. MORAN | |
