NIGHT AIR LINERS.
PLAN TO ASSIST TRAVEL FROM THE EAST. LONDON, Sept 23. It is intended to inaugurate a tegular airway between Qroydon and Marseilles next summer. “Expresses” will fly by night as’ well as by day, so that passengers arriving by liner from the East riiay benefit by the service. The London, to Paris route is now illuminated throughout by lighthouses, which come into operation with the passing of daylight and are automatically extinguished at dawn. . Niglitrflying ‘planes equipped with three separate engines, are now being built for the Civil Aviation Department of the Air Ministry. Given ati absence of fog, flying by night is actually more pleasant, both for passengers and pilot. The air is much less “bumpy.” It is intended to equip some of the new night-flying liners with sleeping berths.
