Terre Haute Added to Ozark Route as Intermediate Point
The Civil Aeronautics Board backs adding Terre Haute Indiana to Ozark Air Lines route between Champaign Urbana and Indianapolis on a non subsidized basis, replacing TWA service. The bureau says TWA could improve finances by shedding Terre Haute duties and Ozark can absorb Terre Haute St Louis traffic with existing capacity. It also denies Lake Central Airlines authority to serve Terre Haute, saying Lawrenceville Vincennes does not qualify for west scheduled service by Ozark or Lake Central.
