Called Boon

NEW YORK (AP). - The
trunk airlines industry is on
the firmest financial ground
since introduction of Jets. q
Delta Air Lines executive
believes.
The Delta officia, Todd G..
Cole. executive vice president
for administration, told the
New York Society Of Security
Analysts that an industry
which developed an operating
profit Of $l16 million In 1862
can hardly be on the brink Of
financial disaster.
This 1862 operating profit
is five times the system operat-
ing profit OF the IL airlines in
1851" he said. THE system net
profit for the II trunklines In
1862 was $2S.693, 900 after in
tefest. taxes and all other
charges. compared with a net
loss of s37 million in 1851"
Bright Future
Mr.. Cole said the future Of
the industry is even brighter
in terms of cash flow" He re-
ported that in 1862 cash gen.
Grated from earnings. deprecia-
ton and obsolescence accruals,
and increases in deferred tax
reserves reached a record 1868
million. bringing to 1882 million
the total cash generated for
1860, 1861 and 1862.
"The trunkline industry is on
firmer financial ground than
at any time since the initial
commitments for Jets" Mr..
Cole said. Financing has been
proven possible"
Delta is one Of the more prof.
liable trunklines.
The operating problems OF
the Jet age have been met in
stride" he continued. Expert
ence and basic Jet efficiencies
are bringing break-even load
factors down for domestic op-
erations OF the trunklines from
58.28 per cent to 5l.27 per cent
in 1852"
Cargo Volume Gains
Meanwhile, the Air Trans
port Association said that all
cargo operations of the IL trunk
airlines and three all cargo
airlines in the first three
months OF 1863 rose 80 pei
