NEW SERVICE
 BY PLANE IN
 s. E. ALASKA

Resumption of regular weekly scheduled flights to Sitka and Chi chagof by the PAA Fairchild sea- plane piloted by Bob Ellis. effective at once and to be continued through out the current summer season, was announced today by Alex Holden, local Traffic Representative for the Pacific Alaska Airways.
 Leaving Juneau at noon-or after the arrival of the steamer from the States-each Tuesday, starting to- morrow, the plane will fly to Sitka and return to Juneau. .
 On Wednesday each week the plane, leaving Juneau at noon, will fly to Chichagof and return.
 Expedited express service to Sit ka and Chichagof is a new feature of the scheduled Southeast Alaska PAA flights this year, MT. Holden said. Instead of making all inter- mediate stops on each trip, as last years schedule specified, the plane this year will fly direct to the ter minal point on each of the sched- uled flights, unless boarded at Ju- neau by passengers for intermed- fate points, or unless requested to stop at way points to pick up pas sengers.
 The express service as outlined for this season will reduce the fly ing time between Juneau and Sitka and between Juneau and Chicha- gof to approximately fifty percent of last years schedule, MT. Hol- den said.
