Weak Link In Fiji
IT would appear that an absurd situa tion exists in relation to Fiji air mails. Planes run between Australia and Nadi (northwest Fiji) four and five times each week, both ways; but mails from Suva (where all Fiji business and administration is concentrated) reach Australia only once and sometimes twice each week. That is because there are over 100 miles of road between Suva and Nadi, and no regular air connection. ..
Neither the Fiji Government nor the
commercial community has been suffi ciently enterprising to organise a more frequent conection between the airport and the capital. Because of that one small missing link, the Fiji public fail to get full benefit from the Trans-Pacific air services, among the most modern in the world.
