Airways of the Americas
Extended to New Zealand
NEW YORK — Following six
years of preliminary work and
several survey flights, the Pan
American Airways System has
applied to the United States Gov
emment for a permit to estab
lish scheduled air transport ser
vice for passengers, mail and ex
press over a new 8,000 mile route
across the Southern Pacific, link
ing the Americas with Austral
asia on schedules which will
clip eleven days from the fast
est steamship time between Unit
ed State and New Zealand.
The giant clipper ships on this
new route will cover the distance
between Los Angeles, California
and Auckland, New Zealand, by
way of Honolulu, in four days.
This service would make Aus
tralasia available from Central
American countries in six days
and from most South American
countrie in nine or ten days.
The route outlined by Pan Am
erican in its application would
extend from San Francisco, the
present base of the Transpacific
Service to China and the Far
East 365 miles to Los Angeles,
thence 2,561 miles to Honolulu.
Prom Hawaii the new Pacific
route would turn south and west
1,913 miles to Canton Island, ly
ing just across the equator;
thence 1.989 miles over the Fiji
Islands to Noumea, New Cale
donia, wit the final 1.124 mile
leg from Noumea to Aukland,
completing the 8,000 mile route

to the Antipodes (actual mile
age 7,952).
Pan American contemplates
establihment of fort-nightly ser
vice over this route with one of
the big four-engined Boeing type
Clipper, a sister ship to the Clip
per now in scheduled operation
across the Atlantic to Europe
and over the north Pacific to
China and the Orient.
Flying time for the route
would be 49 hours. The schedule
would include a full day’s lay
■ over in Honolulu and overnight
, stops at Canton and Noumea.
I Present steamer time requires
15 days for the same voyage,
while existing air time between
Australia and the principal in
dustrial centers of Europe is on
ly seven day. For the time being
the stop would be made at Los
Angeles on the outbound flights
only, with the Clippers returning
from Honolulu directly to San
Francisco. Only through traffic
wiuld be carried between the
two California terminals.
Announced plans of British Im
perial Airways to extend their
services from Australia to New
Zealand would provide a direct
conection with the American ser
vices across the south Pacific and
eP'ect high-speed through sched
ules to the entire Australasian
area.
Pan American holds the nec
eccary operating rights granted
by the Government of New Zea
land, and has a complete operat
ing base installed at Auckland,

falls on the person asserting its
performance.
