CANADIANS AIR-MINDED
INCREASE IN PLANE TRAFFIC. Montreal. Canadians are becoming increasingly air-minded. This is indicated by the fact that more revenue was received by the Trans-Canada Air Lines from passenger traffic in March than in any other month since the inception of service except last August. Passengers numbered 3.169. Air mail carried amounted to 47.187 pounds, which is an increase over February of 3.036 pounds and makes March second only to December, when the total was 50.636 pounds. There was an increase of 41 per cent in the number of express shipments carried in March, as compared with February, and an increase of 62 per cent in the weight of shipments. Total express revenue increased 66 per cent. On the new schedules, the Trans-Canada Air Lines are flying nearly 14,000 miles daily in revenue service, which amounts to more than 5,000.000 miles a year.
