...Wide Yawn. With all its natural attractions, New Zealand hopes to attract more foreign tourists. Only 113,000 visited New Zealand last year (15,000 of them Americans), and most of them have to fly prop planes from Australia or Fiji to get there.

British Eagle purchased the prop jets that the British Overseas Airways sold after last summer, according to Sohn. All HSA European charter flights in 1964 used the BOAC planes, but this summer's contracts are with other European lines...
