Eisenhower Orders Continuation of
4-Airline Service to Alaska; Asks
Merger of P\ A and Alaska Airlines
SEATTLE, (J*—Pacific
ern Airlines is prepared
service to Ketchikan, rxiaoA.a, i j
within a few days after it receives ;
an operating certificate from the
Civil Aeronautics Board, Arthur <
G. Woodley, the line’s president, :
said here Thursday.
P.N.A. was approved for the
Seattle-Ketchikan route Wednes
day by President Eisenhower, who
also ordered a continuation of the
present four-carrier* service from
Seattle to the territory.
The President gave Northwest
Orient Airlines a permanent cer
tificate on its Seattle-Anchorage
route and granted P.N.A. and Al
aska Airlines five-year certifi
cates on their routes, adding
Ketchikan to the P.N.A. route
pattern.
Pan American World Airways
already is certificated for the Se
attle-Fairbanks route via Ketchi
kan, Juneau and Whitehorse, Y.T.
Pan American’s request for ser
vice to Anchorage was rejected.
Woodley said it is “premature
to discuss any matters” raised by
the President in his letter to the
C.A.B. outlining the route pattern.
Woodley was referring to the
President’s recommendation for a
merger between P.N.A. and Alas
ka Airlines.
Donald W. Nyrop, N.W.A. pres
ident, said in St. Paul that he is
“very pleased” with the award of
a permanent certificate to his
company over the Seattle-Anchor
age route. Nyrop said this award
will be N.W.A.’s first permanent
certificate on any of its overseas
or international routes.
President Eisenhower wrote to
the C.A.B.
“I am in full agreement with
the board’s view that a merger
between Alaska Airlines and Pa
cific Northern would be an im
portant step forward in strength
ening air transportation between
the States and Alaska and at the
same time reduce the need for
'federal subsidy support.”
Nelson David, Alaska Airlines
president, said:
“We can’t deny that there is
logic in the President’s thinking.
We are open minded on any merg
er proposal which makes sense.” |
David says Alaska does not
compete with P.N.A., since the
two fly different routes.
P.N.A. now flies from Seattle
Portland to Juneau, Yakutat, Cor
dova and Anchorage, while Alas
ka flies from Seattle-Portland to
Fairbanks.
David hailed the President’s
order, saying it was a “fine deci
sion” from the standpoint of the
Pacific Northwest.
Sen. Magnuson (D-Wash) issued
this statement:
“The entire Pacific Northwest
delegation in Congress is gratified
that the President has agreed to
our contention in the States-Al
aska case.
“This means Seattle has been
recognized air-wise as the gate
way to the Orient and it goes a
long way toward establishing the
northern short route to the Orient.
“I see this as a real and per
manent step toward adequate air
transportation between Seattle
and Alaska.
“The city officials of Seattle,
the mayor and the chamber of
commerce are to be congratulated
upon the vigorous support they
gave.”
