...flag but not enough of anything else to pay its way. An exception is tiny Lebanon (pop. 1,500,000), whose air travelers - and its pride - are well served by the Beirut-based, privately owned Middle East Air lines. Only a puddle-jumping outfit with a few aging DC-3s barely a decade ago, Middle East is now the world's 16th largest line-and the only profit-making airline in the Arab world. Last week it reported record 1963 revenues of $70 million and earnings of more than $1,000,000, figures that make it the most successful...
...Uruguay's Pluna Airline. "Sometimes we had to leave the copilot behind to make room for an extra passenger." The flying is still often on a wing and a prayer. A few Latin American airlines have jets and turboprops.

As a public service, he volunteered four years ago to become unpaid chairman of Malayan Airways Ltd. To revive the rundown line, Loke ordered a fleet of Fokker F-27s to replace decrepit DC-3s and leased a BOAC Comet. This week, in cooperation with Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific Airways and Thai International, Malayan will begin to offer 58 weekly flights between major Southeast Asian cities. Unlike Loke's other winged friends, Malayan has proved a profitable hobby, last year...
