Fiji Air Mail Services

A recent Fiji Royal Gazette gives the timetable of the Fiji Air Lines.

Regular services are flown from Suva to Lautoka, Savusavu, Tavenui, Labasa, and, Lautoka.

A seaplane leaves Suva every Mon day morning at 7 o’clock, arrives at Lautoka about 8.45, and departs ap proximately an hour later, returning to Suva about 11.30 the same morning.

This is a vast change from the usual two or three days’ journey by boat from Suva to Lautoka.
