Continental to Test Nixon Ruling in Court
Continental Airlines filed a federal suit challenging President Nixon’s intervention in the Transpacific route case. The Los Angeles carrier seeks to overturn a CAB decision approved by Johnson that awarded a route to Australia, arguing the President overstepped before publication. A CAB critique cited Continental’s competitive low cost and plans to boost tourism to Pacific dependencies. The report also notes a separate derailment near Ocala blocking the Southern Pacific main line for 16 hours.
