CIVIL AVIATION.
DEVELOPING NEW SERVICES. BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYIUGHT. LONDON. Dec. 29. ‘‘Civil aviation has got over its teething troubles in a manner conferring great hope for the future,” said Sir Eric Geddes at a meeting of Imperial Airways. He traced the steady growth of mail and goods services in addition to passengers, who were steadily acquiring the habit of travelling bv air. i Sir Eric Geddes pointed out that though the concern had hitherto concentrated on Europe, most of the principal towns were now linked up, and they were looking to go farther afield in the near future. The first aeroplane would leave Cairo for India not later than the beginning of 1927, and thereafter progress would be made farther eastward based on the experience gained in the new desert route. It was hoped 1 that a fast connection, mainly by air, between Basle and Cairo might be possible, thus enormously increasing the saving of time lie tween London and Karachi (north of Bombay).
