A. B. Aerotransport now has land
ing rights in Scotland. Frequent but
irregular service is maintained now
between Scotland and Sweden, trip
OF a little more than five hours.
To finance the transatlantic ven-
ture, a new company has been formed
in Stockholm called Sila-S vensk
International Lufttraffik Aktiebo-
laget, Swedish Intercontinental Air
lines, with a minimum capital of
10000, 00G and a maximum capital of
10000 900 Swedish crowns. A crown
is worth about IS cents. Sila is
purely privately owned, while the
majority of the stock of A. B. Aero
transport is held by the Swedish
government.
Mutual Policy Set Forth,
The establishment of Sila repre-
sents the first concrete step by ma
tionals of any country to plan for
international air trafflc after this
war. The president of A. B. Aero
transport is member Of the board
of directors of Sila. An official
statement by Sila states:
The new company's air traffic
policy will follow the same lines
along which the Swedish airlines
have until now developed and thus
close cooperation with the other
Scandinavian countries after the
war for extending the Scandinavian
air traffic all around the world may
be expected.

Sweden Seeks Planes
In u. ). for Transport
Line Over Atlantic

The special Swedish air traffic
mission to the United States is ne
gotiating for the purchase of four
C-54 four -motored transport planes
the type which brought Gen.
Henri Honore Giraud to the United
States from Africa-to use on
projected wartime and postwar fly
ing service from the United States
to Scotland to Sweden to Moscow,
1t was reported today.
The negotiations are said to be
advancing slowly but steadily. The
heavy demands of war for Ameri-
can-made transport planes makes 1t
unlikely that the Swedish interests
will be able to obtain their four at
an early date, although the mission
reported that If the desired plane
remains unavailable, the Swedish
air line would use another type of
American machine:
The C-54, land plane, is said to
be the best long flight transport in
the world today. 1t is fairly re-
cent development, roomier than the
Liberator, the four -engined long
range plane in which Prime Minis
ter Churchill is accustomed to travel.
1t could carry a fairly heavy cargo
from here to the U. S. S. r. Facili-
ties for an increased rate of pro-
duction Of the C-54 soon will be
ready.
Landing Negotiations Deferred.
The Swedes, meanwhile, are
frightening runways at their Stock
holm and Gothenburg airports to
5000 feet to accommodate four
engine trans Atlantic airplanes.
The complex problem Of obtaining
rights in the United States is being
postponed by the negotiators until
the immediate question of whether
the planes will be available for their
projected service is answered.
Swift communication between
North America and the Soviet
Union is now impossible. The
Swedish air line, A. B. Aerotrans-
port, ran a regular service between
Stockholm and Moscow before the
war in five hours. The distance is
about 800 miles. The direct route
might have to be modified during
the war because Of the necessity of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-07-12

and Scandinavian air trafnc after
the war naturally Is dependent on
the rights and possibilities after the
war to fly to other countries. The
policy OF the Swedish air trafiic has
always been to allow foreign air
traffic companies to fly into Sweden,
on the condition that Swedish air
lines would have the same right to
fly to foreign countries"
All mail from United States and
Great Britain to Sweden and vice
versa enters or leaves Sweden now
in the Aerotransport planes between
Scotland and Stockholm, the Sila
report says. The Scotland Sweden
service is practically In apeyance
during June and July because the
shortness Of the nights in those
northern ATTITUDES brings an element
of danger into flying over German
held territory.
