AIR SERVICES ON WEST COAST
DOMINIS NOT TO LAND AT HOKITIKA GREYMOUTH AGAIN ON SCHEDULE From Our Own Reporter GREYMOUTH, July 18. As from August 9, Greymouth will be included in the National Airways schedule as formerly, because the licence of the existing Hokitika aerodrome has been revoked for tl?e use of Domini aircraft. Fox Moth planes, as before, will be used on the air route. There will be a consequent, decrease in the number of passengers that can be handled, though two trips, it is understood, are scheduled for most days between Hokitika-Greymouth and Westport, where larger planes will take up the service to Nelson and Wellington. The new schedule will be only a temporary measure, which will be abandoned on the completion of the new aerodrome at the rear of the Hokitika township, which is expected to be in use early next year.
