Extract

I have now reached the end of my task. The theme which I have sought throughout is that operating economics, in the broadest sense, are the essence of commercial Air Transport. The purpose of Air Transport is to improve communications—and to improve them economically. Although Air Transport the World over is losing money at present, through a combination of unfortunate circumstances, the facts of the present situation and of developments in train will, I am sure, confound the prophets of gloom. Air Transport, provided with adequate tools and run on the right methods, can be made to pay—furthermore, air travel can be provided economically at fares which the average man will be able to afford.
