AIR TRAVEL.
QUITE COMMONPLACE IN EUROPE.
MORE PLANES WANTED. Air travel has attained a vogue abroad -that has made this method of triivel quite commonplace (reports the “Travellers’ Gazette," .the journal published by Thos. Cook a.nd Son, Melbourne). Newspaper reports show that last summer, all records for aerial travel between London and the Continent have been broken, with Americans, a majority of '.the travellens'. Indeed, more traffic has offered than the present equipment of planes could accommodate. One British air line alone carried 1073 passengers to the Continent in one week ; 121 passengers made the journey between Paris, and London in one day by the French air •lines. A recent Press item announces the addition to the LondonParis service of a luxurious 20-seater rcßtaqrant plane, with electricallyoperated buffet service. Another machine tor the Paris-Constantinople express has regula,r sleeping-car berths and specially silenced engines. In the last twelve months'more than 65,000 persons have flown over 9,000,*000 miles cti commercial air lines.
