Emb110 Banderiante VH-WDI arr ex Tamworth and went on lease to Airlink at Madang (PNG) on the 18th.  The company subsequently flew several Banderiantes on its network.
 

Sun OCTOBER 31, 1993 Cathay Pacific flew the inaugral service to CNS from HKG (Kai Tak). Seen here disembarking pax at the IT. from B747 VR-HIE.


A garden party was held on the landside lawn (then) with CX staff distributing beverages.  A selection of multi national CX flight attendents displayed their relative national costumes.


The CX PR team was out in force with a suitably inscribed hot air balloon positioned at the north end of the domestic terminal in full view of the 747.

Thanks to GAFLIKS for providing this great report.
