Australia-New Guinea Air Service Link with Hong Kong Also Suggested
IT is understood that, in February, per mission was sought to inaugurate a re gular airmail service between Australia and New Guinea; but that the Federal Government refused permission, on the ground that all Empire air services at present are more or less in the melting pot.
It is reported that the proposal came from Carpenters Airways, which now carry on an important service on the Morobe goldfield.
It is believed that one of the chief reasons for delay in approving an Aus tralian-New Guinea air service is that an air service between Australia and Hong Kong through New Guinea has been sug gested.
