Giving the Cooks Better Communications

THE provision of a small Administra tion vessel for service among the Cook Islands has been approved by the New Zealand Government. Com munication within the Group has been maintained by two trading schooners.

Cook Islands residents are hoping that the TRAPAS New Caledonian-Tahiti air service will be recommenced shortly.

Preliminary flights were made by the company, with a call at Aitutaki, early in the year, but the commencement of a regular service has been delayed by damage sustained by the company’s Catalina aircraft during a hurricane in New Caledonia.
