DEVELOPING PACIFIC AIR ROUTE
SAN FRANCISCO-AUCKLAND SERVICE (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 13. Confirmation of the approval of the licence to develop the Pacific air route from San Francisco to Auckland was received by Mr A. L. Lewis, airport manager for Pan-American Airways in Auckland from the Californian office of the company. The message added that an early inauguration of the schedule was expected, but as yet no definite date could be given. “Everything is in readiness in Auckland for whenever the service starts,” said Mr Lewis. “I have no knowledge whether passengers will be carried on the first flight, or whether the survey flights so far conducted will have been considered sufficient for the approval of the immediate transport of passengers. We have been waiting for definite news and look forward eagerly to the operation of the service.”
