Northeast Still Seeks To Cut Air Service

Northeast Airlines seeks to cut service to 12 New England airports to save about 375000 dollars and attract capital. Nathan S Simat testified at a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing that eliminating routes could reduce operating costs by more than 450000 dollars while maintaining overall regional air service through new regional airports in New Haven and Rutland. He argued air service centers on regional traffic rather than single communities and that the 12 airports would not justify continued certificated service given 1961 traffic far below 1969 levels.
