THE New Zealand Parliament has been petitioned by 35 residents of the Chatham Islands east of New Zealand asking for a continua tion of a flying-boat service to those islands.

Due to the rearrangement of TEAL services and the abandonment of the flying-boats, the Chathams summer monthly flights are to be discontinued. The Air Department cannot provide a Catalina service.

There is a possibility that a TEAL aircraft, down from the Coral Route for servicing, might make a flight once in three months after re-fit in Auckland.
