American wants seven flights weekly
American Airlines, the nom inated second US carrier for the South Pacific (PIM, Aug., p. 125), in October made its formal application to fly seven frequencies a week from the US to Australia.
It proposes to link Australia with New York and four new US cities— Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit and Chicago.
Details of the routes requested are: Southwards— • New York-Hawaii-Sydney, three times a week. • Philadelphia - Washington- Hawaii-Sydney, twice a week, • Detroit-Chicago-Hawaii-Sydney, twice a week.
Northwards—
• Sydney-Hawaii-New York, four times a week. • Sydney-Fiji-Hawaii-New York, once a week. • Sydney - Fiji - Hawaii - Chicago, twice a week.
No mention is made of calls at American Samoa. American is ex pected to ask for calls at Pago Pago on its runs out of New Zealand, for which it is after a twice-a-week frequency from the US.
The American application has yet to be approved by the several gov ernments involved.
