Air Agreement
Nauru and Australia in March signed an air agreement which gives both countries the right to each run a weekly air service between Nauru and Brisbane.
The agreement removes the biggest hurdle for the establish ment on Nauru of a football pool, as the pool could not operate without regular direct air services.
Nauru plans to lease a con tract for the service to Central Pacific Airlines an associate company of Pacific Sporting Pools. Central Pacific Airlines is chartering two DC6 aircraft from a Swiss firm and expects to begin the service in late April or early May. Qantas has no immediate plans to operate a similar frequency. The DC6’s may make a refuelling stop in Honiara or New Guinea, but this had not been decided in March.
