New Air Arrangements

In Fiji
THE Nausori airfield, 12 miles from Suva, and Suva’s airport for land planes, was closed as a Customs port-of-entry at the end of August. Overseas craft, if land planes, must now go first to Nadi, at the other end of Viti Levu. Sea planes go to Laucala Bay, near Suva.
As a result, NZ National Airways, which run services between Auck land, Fiji, Samoa and Cook Islands, have cut out Nausori. Suva people, using these services, must now go to Nadi, and arrange other transport from there.
The new internal services of Fiji Airways use the Nausori airfield.
The services began on September 1, with flights twice daily between Nausori, Nadi and Drasa (Lautoka).
The Labasa service should com mence in November.
