Laker's Skytrain aims for low fare transatlantic flights
Freddie Laker, once a factory teaboy, now runs Laker Airways and Skytrain, planning ultra cheap transatlantic service from Sept 4 with $100.30 Britain to New York tickets. He says most customers are “have-nots” on campuses and predicts $1.7 million in a year as orders grow amid US British airline battles and regulatory wrangles.
