Alterations to QEA Sydney-NG Service
AFTER our plane and shipping sched ules were printed (page 89) Qantas Empire Airways announced altera tions to their New Guinea-Sydney ser vices because of sudden demand for Sky master aircraft on their Japan service due to the Korean war.
Commencing on December 12, Sky master services from Sydney to P-NG will be reduced to two each week, and these will terminate at Port Moresby instead of Lae.
Douglas DC3 services will be increased to five per week, and these will operate between Sydney and Lae with the usual extensions to Madang, Finschhafen, Rabaul, Bulolo and Wau.
Inconvenience should be offset to some extent by the fact that the service will now be a daily one.
French Air Services
AIR FRANCE has announced that their service from Paris to New Caledonia via Indo-China and Australia will in future be on a monthly basis instead of fortnightly.
At the same time the service from New Caledonia to Tahiti has been suspended— which means that Tahiti is again without airmail facilities.
