SIX DAYS TO INDIA.
SPEEDING-UP MAILS. The speeding-up of the London to India air service by from one to two days is expected to result from negotiations now going on between Imperial Airways Limited, and mid-i European i countries, says a London paper. The new route it is hoped to establish will be by Cologne, Nuremburg, Vienna, Buadpest, Belgrade, Uskub, Salonica and Athens. This will give an accelerated air service over the former route through Genoa, which had to be abandoned owing to difficulties raised by the Italian Government. At present travellers leave on Saturdays from Victoria by the Simplon Orient express for Athens, and thence go by air, arriving at Karachi eight days later. The mail is taken on the sector London Cologne at present as a temporary arrangement only and is then put on the Simplon Orient Express for Athens.
