AIR FREIGHT SERVICE
EXTENSION POSSIBLE CHRISTCHURCH-DUNEDIN ROUTE An officer of the National Airways Corporation was coming to Christchurch tab make a survey of the potentialities of the Christchurch-Dunedm air freight service, said the president of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, Mr E. T. Beaven, at a meeting of the council of the chamber. This visit, he said, was the result of a request made by the council for an extension of the service. Mr Beaven suggested that inquiries should be made among merchants as to what extra services were required. . “Is there any evidence of pillaging on the air lines? ” asked Mr Irving Sladen. “We received a valuable parcel from overseas this week, and when we opened it 40 per cent, of the contents were gone.” , A ... .. Mr Beaven said he thought that the pillaging would have occurred before the goods reached New Zealand. I would say that air freight is the answer to pillaging,” he said. . The task of .preparing a case for presentation to the officer of the corporation was left to the Transport Committee of the chamber.
