For Pacific Run
BRITISH Commonwealth Pacific Air lines plan to run the trans-Paciflc air service on their own behalf, after April 21. But, it is understood that Aus tralian National Airways Pty., Ltd., who have been operating the Service under BCPA charter, will fight BCPA before the US Civil Aeronautics Board for the right to continue the service.
The Civil Aeronautics Board granted BCPA a licence to operate last year, only on condition that ANA carried out actual operations. At that time ANA had the necessary planes (Skymasters); BCPA did not.
It is expected that when Trans Australia Airlines shortly take delivery of Convair planes for their Australian services suffi cient Skymasters will be released for BCPA to carry on the Pacific Service itself.
