Provides illustrations of the Electra Mark 2, Bell 47J2 helicopter, Fokker Friendship, DC-6B, and De Luxe Viscount 832.
Announces the opening of Ansett's first hotel in Perth, designed to serve high-end business customers travelling internationally.
The booklet was produced in response to TAA proposal to serve the Perth-Darwin route with DC-9s. Reginald Ansett published this booklet to argue against this proposal, as the West Australian government had originally required Ansett to fly less popular routes. This required the purchase of new, smaller Fokker F.28 aircraft. Ansett was hoping to protect his monopoly on travel in West Australia and thereby protect his investment in new aircraft. He considered it unfair that TAA was not required to provide (less economical) services to smaller airfields in the same manner that Ansett was.
Provides information concerning the developing complexity of aircraft and the need for developments in maintenance to keep pace with advances in aircraft technology.
