TASMAN FLIGHTS TO HAREWOOD PROPOSED
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Urgent representations to the Minister in charge of the Air Department (Mr F. Jones) to arrange for passengers from Australia for the South Island to be flown direct to Harewood by Skymasters were made yesterday bv the Harewood Overseas Air Terminal Committee. In a telegram, which was also sent to the Prime Minister (Mr Fraser) the chairman of the committee (Mr J. R. Dench) urged the use of Harewood for the transit of passengers and goods for the southern part of 'the Dominion, including Wellington, to relieve congestion at the earliest possible date, 'and added that Australian owners of Skymasters were prepared to land at Harewood. . “The present breakdown in the trans-Tasman flying-boat service only serves to emphasise the great need for an alternative air service between Australia and New Zealand, and Harewood is the obvious place, said Mr Dench. “Besides feeding the South Island, with great convenience and saving to trans-Tasman passengers Harewood can also serve Wellington district by feeder service to Paraparaumu.”
