Believed to be Ultimate Ambition of Union Airways PURCHASES OF MACHINES FIVE MULTi-ENGINED LINERS t United Press Associatlos-By Electric Telegraph Copyright). Received 10.30 a.m. to-day. LONDON, July 24. It is believed that the ultimate ambition of Union Airways, recently formed by the Union Steam Ship Company, is the establishment of a transTasman air service linking Australia with New Zealand. Mr. N. S. Falla, chairman of the new company, who is at present in England, told the Sun-Herald service that someone is sure to establish a Tasman air service. AVhen the time comes probably we will be ready to attempt it. AVe have no immediate plans, but it would be futile to deny that a New Zealand-Australia service is a certainty of the future. Air. Falla, Squadron-Leader MacGregor (service manager of Union Airways) and Flight-Lieutenant G. Bolt (chief pilot of Cook Strait Airways) lodged New Zealand’s largest commercial order for five multi-engined air liners with de Havilland to provide daily services from Palmerston North to Dunedin, AVellington and Nelson. Air. Falla admitted that the formation of an air arm was the natural development of a modern shipping company.
