Piedmont Gets Nod As Airline Service Talked
Representing Beckley at a meeting before the West Virginia Civil Aeronautics Board, Harry Anderson led delegates from Wheeling Morgantown Parkersburg Clarksburg Elkins Bluefield Huntington and Charleston. The board voted to urge that cities dropped by trunkline air carriers be picked up by a local carrier already serving West Virginia. The likely beneficiary is Piedmont Airlines, as Allegheny Airlines has withdrawn its bid. John W. Dregge of CAB attended. The session focused on feeder lines and local routes with a rule allowing each community to file briefs within 15 days after an initial CAB decision on new service. Dregge noted the coming air age and jet aircraft with 500 mile minimum leg distance. Charles Hodges Charleston Chamber said American and Capital Airlines cite insufficient revenue for intra state routes, especially Morgantown Clarksburg Elkins Wheeling.
