p. 106 · Read in the full issue
The first ever direct route between the Far East and South Africa will be introduced by BOAC in January.
The service, to be operated jointly with South African Airways, will start with BO AC's introduction of a new weekly VC 10 flight between Hong Kong and Johannesburg with stops at Colombo and the Seychelles.
South African Airways plan to start a second partnership flight on the route with their own aircraft next April.
Passengers from the Pacific area will be able to join this service at Hong Kong.
In less than two years the Seychelles have emerged from being “the forgotten islands of the Indian Ocean” to become one of the world’s cross roads of the air. This winter will see the islands at the hub of BOAC services radiating to and from Europe, East and South Africa, Mauritius, Ceylon and the Far East.
