Kiglit Airplanes In Territory Alaska
Increased To 56 In Space Of Six Years
Eight Ships in Commercial
Service in 1J)29—56 Were
Operating In 1!6»4
Airplane traffic in the Ter-;
ritory is growing steadily.!
The Territory has been des
cribed by administration offi-'
cials, congressmen and oth
ers as the most air-minded
section of North America, and’
this contention is borne out
by records of the customs of
fice.
Not only is traffic within
the Territory expanding, but;
aerial communication with
the States and with Canada
is Increasing noticeably. Each
year more and more planes
are added to the Alaskan fleet
and visitors to the North oc
casionally bring their own
ships.
During the past six years
the number of commercial
airplanes in service leaped
from 8 to 58; the number of
passengers they carried from
2.171 to 10,194. Mail and ex
press carried in 1929 totaled
11,951 lbs. Last year their
weight amounted to almost
one million pounds.
There is little doubt that
aviation is contributing to
the development of Alaska.
Mining operators with crews
and machinery are common
cargo for the airplane, not in
the Interior only but on the
coast. Fishing, too, is aided by
the flyers as they transport
needed parts of machinery,
cannery executives and work
ers in Southeastern Alaska.
