More Pacific

Airlines

France-Noumea and India-Fiji

TWO more new airlines for the South Pacific Islands are expected to com mence operations shortly.

Air France has made formal application to Australia for landing rights in Aus tralia in connection with a projected new French service, in which planes will fly between France and New Caledonia, via Indo-China (French) and Australia.

It is expected that Australia will grant permission. Australia recently refused a permit to Air Ceylon, to run a service from Ceylon to Sydney; but Air France is in a different category, because the terminal will be in Noumea, and not in Australia.

A plan for a service by Indian Airlines, from India to Fiji, via Australia, is under consideration, and it is expected that Aus tralia will give permission also in this esse, and for the same reason, Indian interests seem determined to de velop trade between India and Fiji, in every possible way.
