Airline?
A group of Hollandia busi nessmen propose to launch a new West New Guinea airline, Melanesian Air Services, using single-engine Cessna 185 air craft supplied by a Sydney firm.
The airline will have public capital of £125,000 Australian — one-quarter of which will be supplied by the businessmen.
A spokesman for the group said that members of the W. New Guinea native population would be given a chance to participate in buying company shares.
The first Cessna was due for delivery by the Rex Aviation Company of Sydney at the end of this year.
The airline would begin opera tions on a charter basis, he said.
