American Transport Association
Revising It's Time Table-Jump
in Daily Mileage Reported.

The American Air Transport Asso-
citation has just issued a revised edition
Of its consolidated air passenger time
table which shows that in the last three
months facilities for air passenger travel
have increased more than Is per cent.
Planes which formerly operated on
a once-a-day schedule are now making
two and three trips. The daily mileage
has jumped from $4,000 to $4,000 miles
and the scheduled stops from 103 to 1928
The greatest increase is in the number
of schedules on which planes are oper-
ated. Three months ago there were
AZ. The consolidated time table lists
100 as being flown at present.
Methods of attracting traffic have
also undergone revision. Many air
lines have reduced their rates for round
trip passages, and one progressive or
ganization operating multi motored
planes between Boston and New York
has issued SO ride communication tickets
at even greater reduced rates. Still
another company is specializing in
chartered trips with passage sold on a
fare and a half basis from point to
point and return.
