Nauru will inaugurate its own Australia-Nauru air service, using its own aircraft, on January 21.
The Australian Department of Civil Aviation in November approved Nauru’s application for a twice-weekly service linking Melbourne - Brisbane - Honiara - Nauru, with a 40-seat Fokker F2B jet. This will replace the present weekly service from Bris bane only, with an eight-seater Falcon fan jet under charter to Nauru. The F2B will make weekly connections from Nauru to Majuro and Tarawa. The DCA permit initially has been issued on a temporary basis, to be reviewed after six months.
