COOK STRAIT AIRWAYS
CONNECTING SERVICES By Telegraph-Press Association AUCKLAND, October 30. Commenting on the reported formation of , the Cook Strait Airways, the organiser pf the Dominion Airways, Mr T. S. Withers, said to-day that it was proposed to inaugurate services on two main routes. The principal service would be a daily one in each direction, connecting Auckland with Dunedin, and possibly Invercargill, via New Plymouth, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Wellington, Blenheim, Christchurch and Timaru. The second principal service would connect Auckland with Hamilton, Rotorua, Gisborne, Hastings, Dannevirke, Palmerston, Wellington, and possibly Nelson. He said it was likely the company would operate planes similar to that flown by Messrs Hewett and Kay in the air race, and remarked that it could be safely said that within one year the Dominion would be covered with a network of air routes, connecting all the principal centres. Both Mr Hewett and Mr Kay had already expressed their willingness to join the Dominion Airways staff of pilots.
