NO STATEMENT
AIR SERVICE EXTENSION Although officers of the company in Wellington and Christchurch would make no official statement last evening, it is believed that the air service to be established from Auckland to Wellington by Union Airways, Ltd., will be extended to Christchurch if a licence can be obtained, as soon as proper facilities are provided at the new Harewood aerodrome. The existing service from Dunedin to Palmerston North, calling at Christchurch, will not be altered (states the "Press"). The machines which are to be used on the Wellington-Auckland route are Lockheed Electras, which are expected to arrive in New Zealand shortly. No date for the commencement of the North Island service has yet been announced, although routes and time-tables have been arranged. The latter provide for one trip both ways each day, the route chosen including calls at New Plymouth and Palmerston North. When extended to Christchurch the service would provide direct contact in the one day with both Wellington and Auckland.
