Inaugurated at Last
Pan-American Airways’ New Air
mail service between San Francisco and Auckland, via Honolulu, Canton Island and Noumea, was inaugurated on a fortnightly basis on July 12, when a 44-tons Boeing seaplane, with mails and cargo only, left ’Frisco.
Australian airmails for Britain now go via Batavia, Singapore, Manila, and Pan- American Airways’ North Pacific and Atlantic services. The route will be changed to the South Pacific service, when it has been tested and made weekly, both ways.
Fiji, for some unknown reason, is not included. Yet it is practically on the direct route between Canton Island and Noumea.
