- Title:
- Coll 5/88 ‘Persian Gulf Air Services: "Air India" Service and "Iraqi Airways" Service to Koweit’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains papers related to requests from Iraqi Airways and Air India Limited to operate services calling at Bahrain, Koweit [Kuwait], and Sharjah. The papers therefore address the question of the facilities that can be provided for civil aviation at these landing grounds. Particular attention is given to conditions at the Koweit aerodrome, which is maintained by the Kuwait Oil Company. Towards the front of the file is a small amount of correspondence related to a request from Syrian Airways to land at Koweit.
The main correspondents are as follows: HM Ambassador to Iraq (Sir Hugh Stonehewer Bird), the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (William Rupert Hay and Arnold Crawshaw Galloway), officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and officials of the India Office (the Commonwealth Relations Office from August 1947).
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
