Fiji Talks A bout Helicopters

THE use of helicopters in Fiji to provide air services for the scattered islands of the Group has had a public airing lately.

Mr. Harold Gatty started the ball rolling by declaring that fast heli copter services were bound to come.

After the problem was chewed over by the local cognoscenti, it was apparently agreed that it would save the government money if it sub sidised helicopter services as this expense would be offset by savings in construction and maintenance of airfields.
