AIR TRAVEL
INTERNATIONAL ASPECT.
AGREEMENT PROPOSED.
TAXATION EXEMPTION.
(United Press Association—By Electric
Telegraph—Copyright.) (Independent Cable Service.) Received February 21, 10.45 a.m. LONDON, Eeb. 20. Forty-five countries, including Britain, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Eire, India, and America, will be represented at the Air Travel Conference, which is opening in London to-morrow. It will discuss the possibility of concluding an international agreement dealing' with taxation exemption for aircraft fuel and lubricants.
It is believed the conference may result in a lower cost, for civil air transport abroad, as at present aircraft fuelled in foreign countries have to pay in some cases prices far in excess of those prevailing in their own countries owing to heavier taxation. The conference hopes to arrange some form of taxation relief or standardisation of charges.
