Hongkong-Manila Air Link Before End of Year: Pan-American To Provide Feeder Service
AGREEMENT FOR
CARRIAGE
AIR
OF
A REGULAR air mail service between Manila and San Francisco, via Guam, Midway Island, Wake Island and Honolulu, will commence on October 21.
This information was exclusively published by the] "Telegraph" yesterday afternoon.
Before the end of the year, Hongkong will be linked up with this service operated by Pan American Airways by a feeder air line operating from Kai Tak airport.
Negotiations for the carriage of air mail between Hongkong and Manila have, the "Telegraph" understands, already been con- cluded, and an Agreement is now en route to London for final ap- proval by the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
This Agreement, it is understood, covers postage rates, fees, etc., for the carriage of mail between Hong- kang and Manlia and onwards, and also the transference of air mail to Chinese Internal services,
