The department’s figures are based on reports from 27 of 40 scheduled transport operators, which show that 45,000 passengers were carried by air transport companies operating on regu- | lar schedules during the first six months of the year, Maj. Young said. “This means,” he continued, “that an average of 254 passengers are being | carried _each day on established air- ways. The majority of flying activities, however, now consist of miscellaneous operations such as aerial sight-seeing flights, air taxicab services and other forms of unscheduled flying. A recently completed census discloses that approximately 748,000 passengers | the yea daily by miscellaneous operators, or a total of 8565 passengers carried each day in all classes of flying during the first six months of the year.” Big Daily Increase. The daily sverage of passengers carried | | has increased at least 25 per cent dur- ing the last half of this year, in all probability, Maj.
