DESERT AIR SERVICE.
PALESTINE TO IRAK
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Aug. 24
A new desert air service between Palestine and Irak will be operated as from September 5 by Imperial Airways, Hying eastbound from Ramleli to Bagdad each Monday, with a return flight each Wednesday, enabling passengers between Europe and Irak to make the journey by a combination of air, rail and sea travel. Thus travellers from London will be able to fly to Paris in an air liner, and proceed by rail to Trieste or Brindisi and thence by sea to Jaffa, Palestine, where motor cars will connect with the air station at Ramleli. The service provides a cheaper journey front Europe to Irak than by the all-air route, while it is quicker than the allsurface route, substituting a 7J hours’ flight across the desert for a two days’ trip by motor car.
