Chilean Airline Has
Hopes Of Pacific
The Chilean national airline, Linea Aerea Nacional—Chile, has decided to establish an aerial postal service between Santiago, the Chilean capital, and Tahiti via Easter Island, according to the Tahiti daily newspaper, Journal de Tahiti.
This service, the newspaper says, will be the first step towards the creation of a pas senger service over the same route, with eventual extension to Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other countries bordering the Pacific.
The management of the postal service will be in the hands of Commandant Roberto Parr ague, who completed the first flight from Santiago to Tahiti via Easter Island and back on September 12 in a Catalina aircraft ( PIM , Oct., p. 125).
