AIR Nauru, now entering its third decade of service, will continue its long term commitment to modern airline technology and passenger service. For over 22 years the ‘airline of the Central Pacific’ has given superior service to its passengers stretched far and wide over the world, who value the speed, comfort and safety of Air Nauru.
The airline’s combination of unique destinations and its attention to passen ger comfort and convenience should ensure that it plays a significant aviation role for some time to come. Throughout its history, this small airline has unfail ingly put its faith in the modern jet.
Nauru believed the passenger wanted a swift and safe service from the metropoli tan centres to the Central Pacific needs that could only be provided by modern jet.
During the 1970 s and 1980 s Air Nauru took passengers directly out of Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland and Hong Kong to Guam, Nauru and Tarawa. While not currently flying to Hong Kong, it is still possible to connect with Asia either at Manila or Guam. This is an airline born and bred in the Central Pacific and devoted to the region’s development.
Constantly Air Nauru is looking at new possibilities which can assist both busi ness and tourism in the area. Recently, in co-operation with the Kiribati govern ment, a new route opened from Tarawa to Honolulu via Kiritimati (Christmas) Island.
Air Nauru flies the modern and efficient Boeing 737-400. It is rationalis ing its air services using two of the aircraft. The airline has an unequalled safety record and its 737-400 aircraft are maintained by the first class maintenance services of Qantas. While the Tarawa airstrip is being renewed, Air Nauru will continue to use one of its proven 737-200, specially equipped for gravel strips.
The in-cabin service is provided in a {Peasant and welcoming Pacific style in irst, business and economy classes. For business travellers in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, Air Nauru offers direct unparalled services to the centres of Guam, Nauru and Tarawa with con necting flights to Hong Kong through Manila, Japan through Guam and to mainland USA and Canada through Honolulu.
But Air Nauru offers to the holiday traveller a world of delight and mystery.
The airline brings a veritable kaleido scope of islands offering the traveller a wealth of interest. Micronesia is a haven of islands of great beauty, from the majestic Pohnpei and its secrets of Nan Madol, to the diving wonders of Chuuk (Truk), accessible through interline on-
carriage from Pohnpei or Guam. Nauru, the home of Air Nauru, presents a busy industrial island and some of the most remarkable island landscape in the Pacific. The newly refurbished Menen Hotel, overlooking glorious Anibare Bay, offers international standard facilities
with the unique flavour of traditional
Pacific hospitality.
At the other end of the Micronesia group stands the large island of Guam with its magnificent resort locality of Turnon Bay and Nauru’s very own five star resort, the Pacific Star Hotel.
One of the best kept secrets of Polynesia is the island of Niue. Air Nauru has a weekly flight to this unique and picturesque destination direct from Auckland. Visitors to Auckland or in transit there will appreciate the beauty and serenity of New Zealand while staying in luxury at one of its interna-. tional standard hotels, such as the Sheraton owned by Nauru. With twice weekly flights, Melbourne-Nauru and Nauru-Melbourne, Pacific travellers have ample opportunity to sample the cultural, historical and gastronomical delights of the city, while having a choice of fine Nauru-owned hotels to stay at, from the personalised style of the elegant Savoy Park Plaza to the well-known Melbourne landmark, the Southern Cross.
