Route swap to aid ailing TWA Pan Am allowed
The Civil Aeronautics Board approved a two year route-swap between Pan American World Airways and Trans World Airlines to shift services between Europe and the Pacific. Pan Am suspends Paris Lisbon Madrid and Azores on North Atlantic flights while TWA drops Frankfurt Bangkok Honolulu and Hong Kong and both transfer authority to the other for several cities. The agreement targets higher net operating gains in the first year and reduces direct European flights for both carriers amid prior losses.

Responsibility for altitude of fatal jet denied by controller
The radar controller Merle Cameron said he did not have to tell Flight 514 every move and that the pilot must maintain terrain clearance. Other pilots argue the controller should have provided descent instructions or withheld clearance until mountains were passed. The hearing explored who is responsible for terrain clearance during instrument landings and noted pilots and controllers often misunderstand applicable rules.
