No Ansett Planes To Norfolk

An application by Ansett-ANA to operate a weekly air service between Australia and Norfolk has been refused.

The Administrator of Norfolk, Mr. C. S. Leydin, told the Nor folk Island Council this in July.

The Administrator said in a later address that he had had discussions with the Director General of Civil Aviation when he had been in Australia recently ond that as a result he was hopeful of improved services.

It is understood Mr. Leydin was referring to the possibility °f Qantas increasing their schedule from a fortnightly service to a weekly one for the summer season, beginning about October.

Qantas put on some additional services last year, and it ts be teved that because of pressure from the Commonwealth Govern ment they will announce a weekly service this year.
