Another bid for charter rights
(N.Z.PA. Staff Correspondent
SYDNEY, July 22.
World Airways, the California-based charter airline, will make another application to fly to New Zealand.
The airline’s president (Mr Edward J. Daly) will send a representative, Mr Frank Costello, a Washington lawyer, to New Zealand within two weeks to seek charter rights for 1972 and 1973.
Yesterday World Airways announced that it had cancelled its application for charter flights to New Zealand next summer, and that 2500 Americans who would have arrived in New Zealand on 15 flights would now be taken to African destinations. The airline said its move was made because the New Zealand Government had not made a decision on the application for charter rights for the 1972 summer.
In a letter to the Secretary of Transport (Mr R. J. Polaschek) formally announcing cancellation of the request to fly to New Zealand between January and March next vear. Mr Daly indicated that World Airways would press for a change in New Zea-
land’s “restrictive” air charter policy. He said there would be applications for charters later in 1972, and in 1973.
