The Canterbury Progress League was asked by the Wellington Chamber of Commerce to support the capital city’s claim as the best terminus of the trans-Tasman air service, but after it had heard a summary of the position by its secretary, Mr. P. 11. Climie, the league decided to take no action. Mr. Climie said that the type of machine to be used was not known, and that was a big factor. An even bigger factor was whether the service would be a unit in itself or whether it would be a leg in the trans-Pacific service. If it was the latter the tendency by the operators of the service would be to use the northernmost centre available, and in that Auckland wag likely to be the port. Wellington, however, would have a genuine claim if the trans-Tasman service was to be a separate unit.
