YACHT SERVICE
NOUMEA TO SYDNEY A direct yacht service between Noumea and Sydney is to be established by Fan-American Airways This will link up with the Clipper service from New Zealand to America. It was explained by Mr Phil S. Del any, South Pacific sales representative of the company, that the service was intended primarily for tourists. "Our schedule will provide for a. 16-day trip to Australia from San Francisco," said Mr Delany. Passengers will travel by Matson liner to Honolulu, have a five-day spell | there, take the Clipper to Noumea and leave the same night for Sydney by this new small steamer service. For those who go by air all the way to Noumea, it will be about seven and a half-day trip. By this means American tourists could have cheap fares, plus the stop-over in Honolulu, said*. Mr Delany. He said that it has been found that 80 per cent of the business on :;hc international air lines was commercial, and most of the commercial representatives travelling south 'oy Clipper would have to make calls at both Australia and New Zealand. Therefore, it was the tourist who would use the new service most.
