HONG KONG TO CONNECT WITH EMPIRE AIR ROUTE IN SIAM
Imperial Airways announces that following the successful com ipletion of survey flights between Bangkok and Hong Kong it has [been decided to connect Hong Kong with the main trunk route between London and Australia at Bangkok Jinstead of at Penang as hitherto
The change of route is to come [into effect on Sunday, December 5th, on which day. "Dorado" will leave Hong Kong for Bangkok and Delphines will leave Bangkok for Hong Kong. The route to be follow- led will be-
Hong Kong Fort Bayard— Hanoi Udorn Bangkok
No traffic may be accepted for carriage to or from Fort Bayard, Hanoi or Udorn, this regulation ap- plying to passengers, mail and freight.
The schedule to be followed on the opening of the new route is as follows:-
WESTBOUND:
Dep. Hong Kong 1100 L.S.T. Sun.
arr Hanoi Dep. Harol arr Bangkok EASTBOUND: Dep. Bangkok arr Hanoi Dep. Hanoi

and
ce versa in one day and the present very elastic schedule is being instituted în order that experience may be gain- ed of the route with that end in view.
EMPIRE FLYING BOATS (11) The land-planes in mee be tween England and Australia are gradually being replaced by the Empire Flying Boats prior to the application of the "All Mail by Air Scheme to the Australian route.
These flying boats are al- ready in regular operation between London and Karachi, a preliminary flying boat sur- vey of the section Karachi- Singapore was completed by Satyrus in October, and "Cordelia, one of the Empire Flying Boats, completed a second survey to Singapore on November 21st,
It will be appreciated, there fore, that regular operation of the Empire Flying Boat from London as far as Singapore may be anticipated in the near future, the greatly increased speed of these aircraft pro- ducing further accelerations in schedule and consemential ⚫alterations in time-table TEMPORARY MEASURE
