In April 1931 an experimental London-Australia air mail flight took place. The mail was transferred at the Dutch East Indies, and took 26 days in total to reach Sydney.
For the passenger flight leaving London on 1 October 1932, the Eastern route was switched from the Persian to the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf, and Handley Page HP 42 airliners were introduced on the Cairo to Karachi sector.
