Attempt to ease planes crisis
NZPA-Reuter Sydney A United States charter plane started flying freight throughout Australia yesterday as part of a Government-approved emergency service replacing the 1600 domestic pilots who have resigned en masse over a pay dispute. The Miami-based Arrow Air DCB with its own crew was expected to be joined by passenger-carrying charter flights if no quick solution could be found to the crisis, airline officials said.
Australia’s Civil Aviation Authority said the aircraft had been cleared for freight operations but they had not received any inquiries about licensing charter aircraft for passengers.
