Western Air Lines Sees 1957 Growth Through Fleet and Routes
After a record 1956, Western Air Lines forecasts a bigger 1957 with fleet modernization and new routes. 1956 income reached about 2.9 million dollars, or 3.70 a share, on 743,463 common shares. A 3 day strike hurt early 1956, causing a first quarter loss of 1.04 a share, but last three quarters yielded an estimated 2.24 a share. Seven new DC-6B airliners will begin service in April as part of the expansion. New routes, including a possible non stop LA to Mexico City, are expected to drive 1957 growth. The CAB is reviewing routes serving Phoenix from Denver, Salt Lake City, LA and San Diego.
