Air West posts first half 1968 loss despite revenue rise
Air West Inc reports a net loss of 1,201,913 for the first six months of 1968, narrower than the 1,992,547 loss in 1947 period, as 17 percent revenue gain is offset by a 1968 writeoff of abandoned route costs and reduced tax credits. The carrier, formed April 17 by Bonanza Air Lines Pacific Air Lines and West Coast Airlines, cites these factors as main causes of the larger loss.
