AIR TRANSPORT
CLAIMS FOR LICENSES By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, March 22. Long negotiations for the purpose of combining the companies competing for a license for a trunk air service apparently having proved abortive, their claims were again presented to the Transport Co-ordination Board this afternoon. For Great Pacific Airways, Mr G. P. Finlay said his company proposed to serve a greater area than did the Union Company, and would cover it more comprehensively. Its proposals were based on the report of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith and Mr C. T. P. Ulm, and aimed at the development of a service from Auckland to Dunedin, together with feeder services. Mr C. G. White, for the Union Company, said his company was honest enough to say that it would not call at Wellington till the facilities were better. It would be easy for an applicant to say after a license was granted that it would not call there. Mr H. J. Knight, of New Zealand Airways, said that at first their service, concentrating on freight, would run from Palmerston North to Dunedin, but the aim would be to connect with Auckland and New Plymouth at the earliest possible date.
