This, regrettably, is the last edition of British Airways Pacific Jet News. This is because, as we told you last month, the British Airways trans-Pacific VCIO services will cease operating from the end of March, 1975.
At the same time (as was also reported) a new DC 10 aircraft interchange service will start operating from the beginning of April, which will provide a daily through one-aircraft service between Auckland and London.
As far as Los Angeles the aircraft will be operated by Air New Zealand crews, but at Los Angeles it will be taken over by British Airways crews for the non-stop flight to London.
Flights will call at Honolulu or Papeete on their way to Los Angeles and Thursday’s flight will provide a one-aircraft service from Fiji to London.
There are frequent connections at Auckland from Australian ports.
It will be the first time British Airways has operated a Los Angeles/London service with wide bodied aircraft.
