Conducted by John Neumyer British european airways Bea is taking Active Steps toward reducing the Cost of air travel. Outlining some of the measures lord Douglas of Kirtles de chairman of Bea writes in the current Issue of the Bea Magazine our Winter schedules will be introduced nov. 1 and Many improve ments to our services will be made from that Date. The first and most important of these Are the already announced drastic weekend fare reductions on the Domestic trunk routes which represent another step along the Road which we have followed Ever since Bea was form Dafler world War ii. They continue a trend which has reduced our average fare level in real Money values by More than a third in 10 years. The new fares Are at a rate of about 2%d 3 cents per mile on the routes Between London and Belfast Glasgow Edinburgh and Manchester. This is a very Low Price to pay for travel in the most modern Turbine powered aircraft which carry you in the greatest Comfort Over 300 Miles per hour. Furthermore it is just half the 5v6d 7 cents per mile of the much publicized transatlantic Economy class  in addition to these immediate drastic reductions in Domestic fares Bea is re engineering Many of its airliners to provide More and cheaper passenger accommodation. Douglas comments we Are not advocating nor do we expect the i at a Cannes conference to decide on any fare reductions immediately beyond Tho introduction or Extension of certain special Low fares designed to generate More traffic. However we do foresee the need for really significant fare reductions from about i960, when we think lower fare services will be essential in Europe for the continued healthy growth of the business. Amongst the Steps we Are taking in preparation for future fare reductions is the conversion of our Fleet of discounts to a High Den sity layout which will accommodate 60 passengers. While preparing for a great expansion and cheapening of air travel Bea is also conscious of the requirement of a growing Section of the air travelling Public for first class accommodation an service. Douglas writes one of the encouraging aspects of the year s passenger traffic has been the results on our new mixed class services which were started last May. In recent months first class traffic on mixed class flights has been Well up to expectations and in september we achieved Load Factor of about 70 per cent on the first class accommodation on the International services. First class traffic Between London an Paris was in fact no less than 70 per cent higher this August than in August 1957. This summer was the worst we have Ever had from the Point of View of the buoyancy of the business. Even by september there was still Little sign of recovery in the rate of traffic growth writes Doug Las. Other european airlines have also suffered from smaller than usual traffic increases this summer while air traffic on the Domestic routes in the . Is continuing to follow an even More Adverse trend than it has on his Side of the Atlantic. In May june and july Amer ican passenger air traffic was actually less than in the corresponding months of 1957. This compares with a volume of Bea passenger traffic which Wasp by Small amounts on the previous year in May and july and Only slightly Down in june for the summer As a whole Bea s traffic was up by 2 per cent on last year Douglas Points out. He adds Bea s financial figures for the summer As a whole Are not yet available but results up to the end of August show that for the first five months of the current financial year the Revenue earned was seriously Short of that budgeted. 239 Goren on Bridge Page 14 weekly Bridge quiz q. 1as South the dealer you hold 498642 vq7 a1042 Duraj what is your opening bid q. 2as South you hold 4k y63 kqj432 4.kq43 your partner opens with two no Trump.
