Stump, counsei Jor ine intervening local comp: -Alaska Joastal Airlines and Ellis Air Transport contended, however, that since PAA would be flying the same route anyway and would still have to operate shuttle services ‘to handle traffic originating at or destined for Ketchikan and Ju- neau, the intermediate traffic would not add to PAA’s operating costs |and that fares that PAA might es- | tablish would be arbitrary; which wculd leave the local carriers en- tirely at the me of Pan* Am- erican policy in setting fares. Continued Restriction Likely At the conclusion of PAA testie| mony, CAB Examiner for Alaska |Raymond B. Stough, pointed to recent CAB decisions on Fairbanks- ! Anchorage and Anchorage-Kodiak applications, for which certificates were given to local carriers already established. Those decisions would seem to indicate a CAB policy of not imposing competition where it feels that the volume of traffic is not sufficient to avoid a detri- !mental diversion of business from | those carriers already serving the route. | Examiner Stough acknowledged [ —and that by securing proportion- | f| chikan-Juneau route and declared chikan until July 1, 1945—although ways, Pan American forerunner,, had received a certificate to do so.

The day after the last of those require- ments were met, with the arrival of a Customs-Immigration officer at the Annette field, Pan Ameri- can re-commenced Seattle-Ketchi- kan service—on July 1, 1945. Pricr Abandonment Overruled The interveners’ contention that Pan American—at that time Pacific Alaska Airways—had once operated with seaplanes between Juneau and Ketchikan, after buying out Alaska Southern Airways, then later had |abandoned the route, was overruled by Examiner Stough on the ground that such activities antedated the CAB and that the issue had been disposed of when the first Seattle- Alaska certificate was granted to Pacific Alaska Airways—the ques- tion before the current proceedings being elimination of a restriction of that certificate. With evidence and testimony of the g two intervening local com- s yet to be presented, yes- sessions were recessed until 9:30 o'clock this morning when |the hearing was to be resumed. It was anticipated that the hearing could be concluded by noon today. Today’s Session i | Testimony presented here this merning at the continuaticn of| the CAB hearing disclosed plans of | both Alaska Coastal and Ellis, the iintervening companies, to augment ' i their present equipment by adding | . ships cof the same type as the ;Grummm amphibian recently put into service by Alaska Coastal. Only non-availability of planes' !is holding up their acquisition by | | both companies. at the present time {it was stated. Ellis Air Transport | has at present a twin-engine all- metal plane for which it has been unable to secure floats. However, the performance being secured| frem Alaska Coastal's Grumman may result in Ellis' switching over | to that type of plane, especially as| the Ketchikan company desires amphibious craft. Disclosure as to Ellis plans was made by witness for the inter- veners, J. L. Sherman, Vice-Presi- dent and Manager of Ellis Air Transport. Testifying previous to Mr. Sherman were Sheldon Sim- mons, Alaska Coastal Co-manager, and O. F. Benecke, also of Alaska Coastal. Local Ccmpanies Capable ‘The intervening witnesses ex- pressed opinion that the local com- panies are able capably to serve all present traffic over the Ket- that their companies hope to de- velop that traffic to a point where daily parallel flights by both will be economical. At present, Juneau-Ketchikan through traffic comprises approxi- mately 65 per cent of Alaska Coastal’s business on that route. That is the portion of the traffic that Pan American seeks to have made available to it. Mr. Simmons said he doubted that local seaplane companies can ever approach operating costs be- tween Juneau and Ketchikan that PAA will have when it gets its Constellation in service. Especially is that so, he said, when higher costs of water operations over land are considered.
