AIR MAIL SERVICE
INAUGURATED IN NEAR FUTURE OPINION OF CAPTAIN E. C. JOHNSTON (By Telegraph—Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. That a trans-Tasman air service would be inaugurated in the very near future Captain E. C. Johnston indicated to an official gathering at New Plymouth airport. Captain Johnston, who is Commonwealth Controller of Civil Aviation, said there were many difficulties, but they were not beyond the capabilities of Australian and New Zealand aviators.
“Given proper ground organisation I am convinced the service will be a success financially,” said Captain Johnston. The two countries had a great deal in common. The citizens of both would find the service a safe and speedy means of travel and he predicted there would be a heavy demand for seats.
