Third Trans-Pacific

Air Service?
IT has been rumoured in Australia that Australian National Airways Pty., Ltd., may start a third air-ser vice between the North American Pacific coast and Australia.
ANA have been contractors to British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines (a com bination representing the socialist gov ernments of Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain); but that arrange ment is to end and BCPA will run their own service shortly.
If ANA does introduce a new service it probably would be under charter to America’s Trans-World Airways which means that probably it would be carried on with Constellation planes.
It is doubtful if the Pacific route war rants a third service at the present time.
With dollar restrictions prevailing in Australia and New Zealand, the existing services are not being run with capacity bookings.
