IMPERIAL AIRWAYS
EXTENSION TO DOMINION AT SOME TIME By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND. May 16. In the logical course of events, Imperial Airways will extend the mail'and passenger service to New Zealand, said Mr S. A. Dismore, secretary of the company, in an interview to-day. Such extension, he added, would probably require a subsidy or mail contract. Mr Dismore also said that the Singapore-Brisbane service would be opened in time for the Christmas mails this year. Only mails would be carried for the first three months. The passenger fare from England to Brisbane would be £2OO, and the trip would take fourteen days. The tendency would be for the fare to be reduced. The fare from London to Paris had fallen from £2l single in 1919 to £7/12/- return.
