Cooperative Air Transport System
The Representatives,
Recalling Recommendations VII-8 (1972), which is still current, and Recommendation VIII-7 (1975), which is no longer current but contained general principles that remain valid;
Recognising that access to Antarctica by long-range aircraft combined with intracontinental feeder routes by smaller aircraft facilitates new levels of co-operation and flexibility in research;
Noting the interest taken by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research and by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP) in the potential benefits to be derived from a co-operative air transport system;
Recommend that their Governments request their national Antarctic programmes to keep their scientific programmes under review, in order to identify the ways in which a co-operative air transport system might benefit them, and to discuss and develop as necessary, using organisations such as COMNAP to help facilitate this.
