Qantas Will Carry 2,500 Schoolchildren
NEARLY 2,500 schoolchildren will travel from Australia by Qantas aircraft to join their parents in Pacific and Asian countries for the Christmas holidays.
Between 800 and 1,000 will fly from Sydney to New Guinea; others will travel to Hongkong, New Caledonia, Norfolk Island, Fiji and Singapore.
During December, 26 services are operating between Sydney and New Guinea, and three special flights by DC3 will operate between Townsville and Lae for children who attend school in Queensland.
The airlift of schoolchilden began in November and continues right up to Christmas Day; then, from the end of January to mid-February, the flow will be reversed as they re turn to school.
