PACIFIC AIR SERVICE
PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS ( Per Press Association. ) DUNEDIN, June 15. During his visit to the Dominion, Mr Harold Gatty is preparing plans for Pan-American Airways, for which he is New Zealand representative. At present, he said, he did not like to make any mention of when the service would begin but it was some considerable time away yet. Pan-Ameri-can Airways already operate down to Honolulu, while from this base a regular service is now being run to China. The service from San Francisco to New Zealand will take three days, the aeroplanes landing at Auckland. As the company will not be allowed to operate an air service within the Dominion Union Airways will carry passengers southward. The aeroplanes used will be similar to the famous “China Clippers” which now operate regularly between America and China. Pai -American Airways, he said, would also operate their own radio communication service to the machines from Auckland.
