COAST AIR SERVICE
Following the commandeer by the Government of the machines operated by Cook Strait Airways, Limited, negotiations have been concluded by Air Travel (N.Z.), Limited, for the carrying on of the West-Coast-Nelson service as long as the company is able during the war. The Hokitika company will begin operations this week. “At present, the Government has decided not to commandeer any of our machines, because the work we are doing on the coast is recognised as a national service,” said Mr. J. C. Mercer, of Air Travel (N.Z.), Limited. "The Westland route is the only one in New Zealand on which aeroplanes cannot be done without.”
