Atlantic Air Service Reopening Delayed
(Received 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, April 25. The postponement of the prospected re-opening of the transatlantic air services for 1940 was announced when the Under-Secretary for Air (Captain H. Balfour) stated in the House of Commons that recent developments necessitated the diversion of aircraft intended for this service to “certain defence purposes, for which they are particularly Suited.” Captain Balfour added that the step had been taken reluctantly, and every effort would be made to reopen the service as soon as circumstances permitted.
