between the orient and East Africa
BOAC is to introduce the world’s first air service linking Tokyo and Hong Kong with Nairobi through Colombo and the Seychelles, a group of islands in the Indian Ocean.
The new service which will start operating at the beginning of April will continue from Nair obi to London.
Flights will be by VC 10s twice weekly in each direction and will provide the most direct and quickest link between the Far East and East Africa.
It will give island people the opportunity to stopover in Hong Kong for shopping and then on to East Africa to see the wild life and join in safari holidays.
Alternatively they can join the service at Colombo.
