Guinea Airways

Mail Contract For Guinea Airways

THE bold move made by Guinea Air ways. Ltd., over a year ago, when surplus plant was transferred from New Guinea, and new services pioneered be tween Adelaide and Darwin (weekly) and Adelaide and Sydney (daily) has been re warded.

When it was decided to change the aerial transport of London-Australia mails from land-planes to flying-boats (which run around the north-east Aus tralian coast). it was pointed out that incoming air-mails should be sent direct to south and west Australian States from Darwin, instead of being taken around, via Brisbane and Sydney.

Discussions and negotiations have ended in the Commonwealth Government giv ing to Guinea Airways a contract to pick up air-mails at Darwin, and distribute them, via Adelaide, to Victoria, Tasmania.

South Australia, and West Australia.

Guinea Airways will abandon their Ade laide-Sydney service, and will run a three times-a-week service between Adelaide and Darwin.

The new arrangement puts Guinea Air ways definitely “on the map” so far as Australian mainland aviation services are concerned. Someone displayed a shrewd, long vision when that Adelaide-Darwin service was inaugurated.
