JUMBO-JET ERA
(N.Z.P.A. -Reuter—Copyright) MUNICH, Nov. 1
The problem about 450-seat jumbo jets will be filling them, the chairman of British European Airways, Sir Anthony Milward, has said. “The airlines are alarmed at the imminent arrival in 1969-70 of the jumbo jets,” he told a Munich luncheon. “The main problem is not to build bigger jets but to fill them. “You can only lower the prices if you fill them, so the mere fact of having jumbo jets will not reduce prices,” he said.
Wide-fuselage, ultra-Urge, inter-continental planes were expected to be the main form of air transportation for the next seven or eight years. Sir Anthony Milward said.
