Hamburg, Germany, is demanding that it be included in the present plans for night flying services that areto cover all Europe.

While Hamburg authorities mit this, they contend that the great importance of their city as a commer- cial center demands that it should be included. They point out that Hamburg is the junction for air service from Scandinavian countries, and it should at least have night-service connection with Berlin and Rhiene via Bremen to en- able passengers arriving late in the day | to continue their journey.
