MAILS TO BRITAIN
AIR SERVICE WILL HALVE DELIVERY TIME AUSTRALIAN PROJECT SYDNEY, Monday. Representatives of a Dutch company who have arrived at Sydney announce that a passenger and air mail service between the Dutch East Indies and Australia is to be commenced at the end of this year. The time occupied by Australian mails in reaching Britain and Europe will be halved.
Huge Fokker airplanes, which will carry one ton of mails and 12 passengers, will be used for the flight between Sourabaya and Darwin. This will take about live hours, and the flight from Darwin to Sydney will take about four days.
