Alaska Airlines to
Put Convair 440s
On Nome Run
SEATTLE — The Board of Di
rectors of Alaska Airlines has ap
proved the acquisition of a fleet
of three Convair 440 aircraft for
use on the company’s scheduled
routes and charter operations in
Alaska, according to president
Charles Willis Jr.
The Convair 440 is the latest
in piston aircraft design, featur
ing pressurized cabins, integral
boarding stairs and deluxe 52 seat
interiors. The aircraft will be
modified to include a forward
cargo door for high speed loading
of freight without imcrierence to
passengers.
The purchase of the late model
Convairs, together with the cost
of new modifications will represent
an investment of $1,500,000 by
Alaska Airlines, to upgrade its
intra-Alaska service between An
chorage and Fairbanks, and An
chorage, McGrath, Unalakleet,
Nome and Kotzebue, Willis said.
The new planes are expected to
go into service in July.
Introduction of the high speed
440 on Alaska Airlines’ intra-state
routes will reduce flying time over
the present DC-4 schedules by
25%, and the fully pressurized
cabins will enable the plane to
Hjr a b iuguci CUUIUUC5 W l til 1C
sultant additional passenger com
fort.
Willis also announced a decision
by the Board of Directors to dis
pose of the company’s fleet of four
DC-4s. Lloyds International Air
ways of London took delivery of
one of Alaska Airlines DC-4s March
13 and will take delivery of a
second DC-4 this month.
