Baltimore Finds
Its Citizens Cool
To Air Facilities
Baltimore iU'i Commercial av
iation is undertaking an unprece
dented Joint promotion effort to
inject some flying spirit Into Bal
timoreans, residents of the na
tion's sixth largest city.
Suwpy statistics of the civil
aeronautics administration show
that Baltimore should have about
250,000 air passengers a year, but
in 1948 the municipal airport
handled less than half that fig
ure. The air lines are puzzled and
worried.
As a result, nine lines have or
ganized a co-operative movement
to fight the "extraordinary sales
resistance through a sales and
publicity campaign pointing up
tjje facilities available here and
the virtues of air transportation
in general. '
Flights Go Begging
Adding fire to the movement is
the fact that Baltimore finds it
self in the uncomfortable position
of having new air line services
on the way, while flights that are
here go begging. Several flights
have been eliminated in the last
few months.
The new services, which will
give the city some 60 daily depar
tures, were obtained from the civ
il aeronautics board with the ex
pectation that Baltimore's new
airport would be opened this
year. . .
The opening of the airport has
been delayed at least until earfy
1950, but new lines are going into
operation in the meantime, and
new customers have to be found.
The new airport itself will help
generate more interest locally in
commercial aviation because it
will be able to handle all sizes of
aircraft. The present municipal
airport has some restrictions in
that respect.
Work Together
The air lines have a sort of
"one for all" attitude in this ven
ture. For example, to increase the
revenue return in Baltimore, one
line will refer a customer to an
other line if the first company
has no flight leaving at a desired
time.
That is aimed at cutting down
the number of persons who buy
their tickets here and board the
plane in Washington. Last year
25 per cent of the trade did that.
Baltimore municipal authori
ties have some drastic action in
mind, too.
The city airport board, wonder
ing whether the new airport will
pay its own way (luring the first
'ycaf. of operation, said it may
have to resort to installation of
"come-ons" such as movies or a
cocktail lounge.
