New Type of Low
Cost Air Freight
WASHINGTON, Oft—The Civil
Aeronautics Board has established
a new type of low cost air freight
service—“deferred air freight.”
The board authorized the sched
uled airline;, to accept deferred
air freight when they have space
available. The new classification
was established for an experi
mental period of one year.
The lowest rate the airlines
may charge will be 55 percent of
the minimum allowed for regular
air freight, on- shipments in an
easterly direction, and 65 percent
' of minimum rates on all other
shipments.
The new low rate will apply to
goods handled on a space avail
able basis. Deferred air freight
i cannot be delivered before the
third day of its handling when the
I shipment is for less than 1,200
miles, or before the fourth day
where the shipment is for 1,200
i miles or more.
Minimum air freight rates are
II now 20 cents a ton mile for the
(■ first 1,000 miles and 1614 cents
| for each additional ton mile.
