SERVICE TO NORFOLK
Latest Ansett Plan “The Press" Special Service WELLINGTON, April 26. Two top executives of Ansett Transport Industries have confirmed that the company is considering a Sydney-Norfolk Island-Auck-land air service. Ansett had lodged an application with the Australian Government for air rights on the “first leg”—Sydney to Norfolk—Mr R. Cooper said. The Government's decision was still awaited. Mr Cooper, a senior Ansett executive, is on a brief New Zealand visit with one of the company’s directors. Sir Douglas Copland. Mr Cooper said the eventual outcome of the SydneyNorfolk Island-Auckland run would depend on how successful Ansett were with “the first leg.” If successful, it would then be for Ansett to negotiate ;the “second leg” with the New Zealand Government under whose jurisdiction it came. Should Ansett decide to operate via Norfolk, accommodation on the island would have to be improved, Mr Cooper said. The island’s runway could only take DC4’s. To equip it for larger aircraft would involve “an enormous expense."
