Flying-Boat Service

rjIHE inaugural flight of the new Tas- JL man Empire Airways, Ltd., service from Wellington to Sydney will be made from Wellington on October 2, and from Sydney on October 3.

Solent flying-boats will be used and it is expected that each crossing will take about seven hours. Aircraft will leave Rose Bay, Sydney, at 10 a.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, make a night crossing, and land at Wellington about 7 a.m. (NZ time) the following morning. Departure times from Wellington will be 11 a.m. on Tuesday and Fridays.

As the New Zealand tourist season ap proaches, the schedule will be increased and it is expected that around Christmas there will be about five services a week.

Fares are the same as on the TEAL Auckland-Sydney service.
