Airlines Tax Earnings Down in 1968 Outlook
NEW YORK AP The nation's 11 big domestic trunk airlines expect pre tax earnings this year to fall to about 250 million from 360.4 million in 1967. Vice President Donald Lloyd Jones of American Airlines said the drop lowers the anticipated return on investment to about 6 percent from 7.7 percent last year. He noted a 10.5 percent return would require roughly an 8 percent fare increase, a level the Civil Aeronautics Board has deemed reasonable. Lloyd Jones expects a fare hike soon but would not specify the amount.
