Sir Ross Savith urged immediate action to create a unified imperial air service linking the United Kingdom, Capetown, India and Australia. He proposed staged routes through Australia Darwin Singapore Rangoon Calcutta and Cairo with a London connection, noting government regulation and border controls as prerequisites.
