Airport congestion
Sir, —ln Dbiiglas, McKenzie’s article on the? delays which sometimes frustrate passengers arriving at the Airport from overseas (“Theipress,? September 2). he • qudtes?:Mr .G, Hl Thomson,.. Collector of Customs, fassaying! “City; councillors had criticised; the passenger processing’, but not ’ one had conje‘ put to. see the . situ-, atiori;” Among ’ Citizens'; councillors we have one who/Jn the course of his business attends .the’ arrival of ; all)'overseas planes. .At least seven have been over-, -seas this year and most would ’ have 'come through the' overseas terminal; Such .an -experience is much more., instructive than “seeing the situation.” For my part the" journey from the full DCIO to the luggage claim area (I failed to clock, the time at the carousel) was 54 minutes which seemed not unreasonable since two-thirds. .of the queue were in front. The time could have been reduced but my chief regret was that the officers had a smile only for the officerettes.—Yours, etc., W. J. A. BRITTENDEN. September 3, 1980. -
