LOW FARES TO
HAWAII PLAN
OF FUTURE
Details of the new equipment,
rates and schedules for post-war
operation of the Mainland-Hawaii
sector of its trans-Pacific routes
to the Orient and Australia, are
currently being presented to the
Civil Aeronautics Board, in
Washington, by Pan American
World Airways.
This program is a result of the
company’s ten years of pioneer
p ing overseas air transport opera
tions and equipment in the Pa
cific area. It enables Pan Amer
ican to make available, for the
first time in .history, high-speed
air transport between the Main
land and the Hawaiian Islands at
rates within the everyday means

of the average man and woman.
The plan tor the new serv.ce,
calling for the operation of large,
fast land planes between both
San Francisco and Los Angeles,
and Hawaii, was first mention by
i Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan
American World Airways, in a
public address at Chicago n
March, 1940
During the past four years Pan
American has cooperated with
manufacturers in the develop
ment of an advanced transport
type. Their greater efficiency
! and capacity will revolutionize
trans-oceamc air transport in
terms of volume travel, low cost,
and high speed. .
Construction orders for these
aircraft are subject to the release
of the War Production Board as
1 soon as military priorities permit.
They will provide capacity in ex
‘ cess of 80 gross tons. This is twice

the size of the present Pan Amer
ican trans-oceanic Clippers which
are still the world’s largest
transport aircraft.
They will be completely pres
surized for the sub-stratosphere
flying. Capable of speeds of ap
proximately 300 miles per hour,
they will reduce transit time be
tween Mainland and Island ter
minals to little more than eight
hours. At present the trip is made
in about 16*/2 hours. Designed for
mass air transportation, they will
provide capacity for 128 passen
gers on the long non-stop flight
between the Mainland and Ha
waii.
Providing both San Francisco
| and Los Angeles with a morning
and evening departure for Ha
waii, as well as a morning and
evening arrival from Hawaii, the
huge new Clippers are expected
to carry approximately 100,000
passengers annually.
This great capacity, the high
speed schedules and the lowest
rates in ocean air transport his
tory—less than 4c per mile—are
expected to produce an a r trav
el volume twice as great as the
’ number of pre-war passengers
carried annually between the
Mainland and the Islands by both
sea and air. The ability to carry
this tremendously increased vol
ume on two round trips daily, be
, cause of the size and speed of the
new aircraft, makes possible
these unprecedented low fares.
The second necessary contribut on
to make these low fares possible
During the year ending June
30, 1942, more than 30,000,000,000
pieces of mail, weighing more
than 3,000,000 tons, were r.e
ceived and delivered in the Unit
ed States.

is the operating economy result
ing from the joint utilization by
the company of terminal facili
ties, equipment, and personnel
for this local service and also its
through services to the Orient
and Australia.
These huge new Clippers are to
provide the public with luxur
ious air travel between either
San Francisco or Los Angeles
and Honolulu at a one-way fare
of $96.00. Round trip fares, al
lowing the usual 10 per cent dis
count on twice one-way tariffs,
would be $172.80. This represents
an average air travel cost of
$86.40 each way. Today the fare
✓
between California and the Is
lands is $278.00 one way, or
$500.40 a round trip.
The greatly increased capacity
of these new Clippers will also
provide substantial benefits for
#
commercial shippers. As contrast
ed with the pre-war average rate
! of $1.00 per ton mile, cargo would
be carried between the Main
land and the Islands at an aver
age rate of 24 cents per ton mile.
| Certain classified cargo would be
carried for as little as 12.6 cents
per ton mile.
The twice daily schedules, the
j low cost, and the high speed of
' the new service, Pan American
believes, will substantially in
crease the volume of both trade
and travel between the Mainland
and Hawaii. Ey bringing Hawaii
within the pocketbook—as well as
the time range—or every vaca
tionist, Pan American’s new ser
vice is expected to attract tourists
from every section of the Un;ted
States who, heretofore, have nev
er been able to visit the Islands.
