Over-Pole Routes
Will Change Air
Fare Structures
MONTREAL, (ff) — A committee
of traffic experts advised the
world’s airlines today to £ t a r t
worrying over what over-the-pole
air routes will do to airplane fare
structures.
The traffic committee of the In
ternational Air Transport Associ
ation (IATA) pointed out that with
introduction of new routings for
international air service, the old
traditional air routes between var
ious centers no longer may have
paramount importance.
“It will become necessary to
give careful consideration to a re
orientation of the fare structure
of some of the routes,” the com
mittee said in a report to the
IATA annual assembly.
The new over-the-pole route
•from Europe to the west coast of
North America is slated to be
shorter than the old traditional
route and as such should set the
governing fares.
Even this innovation appears to
be outmoded because it has been
publicly stated that at least one
type of aircraft to be operated
within a few years will in fact
reduce the operating distance
even more than the presently
planned polar route.
The committee also told IATA
it must make up its mind soon
as to whether member airlines
may carry both first class and
tourist passengers in the same
airplane.
Another problem facing the air
lines is that of absorbing hotel
accommodation costs and other
passenger expenses at connecting
and stop-over points.
The practice is opposed by some
airlines as inconsistent with the
policy of providing transportation
for the masses rather than the
few.
W. Mendenhall and Myrna Wal
luk were united in matrimony by
Rev. Verne Rimling on Oct. 6.
They plan to make their home in
Nome.
