More Cargo Space
Seating in all the National Airways Corporation’s Friendships is being reduced from 40 to 36 to enable more freight to be carried. The corporation’s chief engineer (Mr C. W. Labette) saM in Christchurch yesterday that the front row of seats was being removed and the forward bulkhead moved. More seats could be removed if necessary.
Already the Friendships were taking three to four times more freight from Wellington. A two-week survey indicated that the economic advantage of the extra freight would amount to 8300,000 a year.
