New airline to fly to Darwin

Friday June 4, 06:41 PM A new airline is to begin international
flights to Darwin in August.

The Pacific island state of Palau is about to launch Palau Micronesia
Air, with plans to fly to Darwin.

Aviation development director of Northern Territory Airports Peter
Roberts says the airline will use crews from New Zealand and will fly
twice a week.

"Looking at two times a week on a Thursday night and a Sunday night
using a Boeing 737-300 airplane and I understand the flight time is
something like three and a quarter hours from Darwin to Palau," he
said. ###
