PNA SHOWS HIGH
TRAFFIC INCREASI
j _
In October, "Pacific Northern Air
!, lines experienced its best north
bound October in history, from th
i Juneau Airport,” according to Rob
| ert "Bob” Pheasant, District Traffic
1 Manager for the airline in Juneau.
All categories. of traffic show s
| substantial increase over October o
1949. Passenger traffic increase!
45 per cent: Air Cargo traffic in
creased 75 per cent and U. S. Mai
1 increased 26 per cent. Pheasant at
tributes the increases to generally
lower passenegr fares instituted b;
PNA during the year, increase!
commercial activity in the Territory
and to the increased commercia
traffic between Southeast Alask!
and Anchorage and to the west
ward.
Pacific Northern Airlines had £
100 per cent operating factor during
October which also is an improve
ment over previous years when some
flights were cancelled because ol
w:eather conditions. Of interest tc
everybody, it should be pointed out
| that Pacific Northern Airlines over
! the entire year has an "operating
factor” for all of its routes in the
, Territory of 98 per cent which is
equal to or better than the domestic
airlines operating in the States. The
I "operating factor" is based on the
number of plane-miles scheduled
compared to the number of plane
miles actually flown.
Pheasant is now outside on a va
cation, and at the present time, he
is in Eastern Washington. He plan:
on making a trip to Southern Cal
