The Pacific Ocean air service from San Francisco to Auckland, proposed by Pan-American Airways Ltd., would be of great benefit to New Zealand, Mr. Vernon A. Dorrell, formerly a leading airline pilot in the United States, who is on the way to Australia, said yesterday in Wellington. The service would, not only give more rapid mail and passenger transport between New Zealand and U.S.A., but would also place New Zealand bn the map on a future world airway, and bring closer together m social understanding and business connection the United States, New Zealand and Australia. “It will mean much to Pacific travel and Pacific people,” he said. The Pan-American Airways service between California and the Philippines was running on a regular timetable, and the carriage of passengers would lie undertaken soon, when operation tests had been conclusive as to the performance of machines and personnel.
