Airways Extended
A new temporary subsidy agreement with Imperial Airways has been announced by the Air Ministry.
As the current agreement with the company for the operation of air services between Egypt and South Africa ends on Jan. 23 and the Empire air transport scheme, with flying boats carrying all mails, does not start until April 1, the new agreement bridges the gap.

At present Imperial Airways receive subsidy at the rate of £120,000 a year. Their route has been shortened because South Airken Airways Have taken over the Johnnesburg-Cape Town section.
Therefore the subsidy rate under
the temporary agreement is reduced
to £113,000 a year.
£250 A TRIP
To maintain the passenger and mail service between Khartoum and Lagos, West Africn, It is proposed to make temporary agreement with the company ending on March 31, next.
