(S) On July 15, MFA's Americas Department Head Talgat Kaliev
passed us an overflight clearance request submitted to the
GOK from North Korea's official flag carrier Air Koryo. The
request is for an Air Koryo IL-62 aircraft to travel on
charter pax flight from Pyongyang International Airport
(listed by its civil aviation identifier code 0III) to Tehran
Mehrabad International Airport (listed by code ZKPY). The
flight leaves North Korea on July 28 and returns July 31.
The request was filed by Dubai-based United Aviation Services
(UAS). (Comment: UAS is a flight operations company that
frequently acts as an intermediary for diplomatic overflight
and landing clearances. End comment.) Kaliev told us that
Kazakhstan will likely deny the overflight clearance, just as
it denied the clearance, on our request, to a North Korea -
Syria flight in April (reftel).
