GENERAL:
Where an Officer accompanies, on the same flight, a Minister etc. who is entitled to travel 1st or Business Class, the Officer may use the same class of travel if required to do so by the Minister, Chief Executive Officer or Part-time Chairperson of Statutory Body.

Would you please inform all Departments, sub-Departments and Statutory Bodies within your administration of these
arrangements.
