Trunk Air Service License
EFFORTS TO ARRANGE MERGER OF INTERESTS Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. Efforts to arrange a merger of interests between the contending parties for a trunk air service license are now being made as a result of to-day’s sitting of the Transport Co-ordination Board. At the afternoon sitting SquadronLeader Isitt read reports from the directors of air and meteorological services dealing with the possibility of the regular operation of the route. It would be impossible to get into or out of Kongotai, he said, on at least 10 per cent, of the days owing to visibility. An alternative aerodrome within a radius of 30 or -10 miles of Wellington was essential'. The board will sit again to-morrow. A deputation waited on the Minister of Finance following the sitting and urged that all the main centres should be covered by any air service licensed. Replying, the Minister agreed that a start should bo made in the best way economically possible. It was difficult to see that a servico eliminating Auckland and Invercargill could be satisfactory'.
