Qantas Runs Survey Flights to Noumea-Fiji

A Qantas plane, carrying passengers and mails, left Sydney on November 17 on a two days’ flight to Brisbane-Noumea Fiji, and return. Another plane will make a similar flight on November 24.

These are merely survey flights, made by arrangement with Australian and Fiji Governments. A permanent service is under consideration.
