Air Nauru, the Central Pacific Airline, and Qantas have agreed to the sale to Qantas of one of its new Boeing 737-400 aircraft. Delivery will take place mid-June 1995.
With the sale of the aircraft. Air Nauru has reduced its fleet to one Boeing 737-400. This will not result in any curtailment of its air services to Australia.
Air Nauru is actively pursuing arrangements with the Marshall Islands and Solomon Islands air lines to complement services, and this is consistent with the recent aviation report to the South Pacific Forum advocating ratio nalisation of services.
Air Nauru, which operates out of Melbourne and Sydney to Nauru, Micronesia and Guam, will markedly increase the utilisation
of its 737-400. It is contemplat ing an additional weekly service out of Australia to the Central Pacific, bringing its Australia- Nauru services to three times a week.
Air Nauru Boeing aircraft, built to Qantas specifications, are maintained by Qantas. This was a major factoif in Qantas’ choice of an Air Nauru aircraft. ■
