Service Commences
Prom a Special Correspondent THE first Catalina of the new Qantas Empire Airways service between Australia and New Hebrides landed on the Canal at Santo on October 15..
There had been many postponements of the first flight. It was originally scheduled for July but the necessary per mission was not forthcoming. To date of writing, permission to operate a regular fortnightly service has not yet been granted. The matter is still under negotiation.
Until the position is clarified Qantas intends to run every two weeks with mail, freight and passengers.
It is believed that should the passenger potential warrant it, Catalinas will be re placed by a larger aircraft.
Agents for the new service are Burns Philp (New Hebrides) Ltd.
