...piston planes. The belief was that U.S. flag carriers could hold their lead over a growing flock of aggressive foreign competitors without a drastic change in U.S. air policy. Last week the U.S. airlines got a new warning of the onward march of foreign competition. From the State Department came an announcement that Air France will get an additional U.S. gateway at Baltimore and a polar route to the U.S. West Coast. BOAC will get the right to land at Tokyo on its San Francisco-Hong Kong run, which is expected to take $7,800,000 yearly away from...
...York, Pan American World Airways will fly into Moscow. But the exchange does not tell the whole story. Aeroflot, which now matches International Air Transport Association rates (though it does not belong to I.A.T.A.), is expected to behave for a while. But airlines fear that, as a totally subsidized state airline, it will eventually cut fares to aid Russia's economic offensive...

When Great Britain and the U.S. laid down the basic postwar air route pattern in Bermuda in 1946, the U.S. was the only nation equipped with planes to operate long-distance service. It campaigned for a free competition agreement, but the plane-short British forced a compromise that provided for an equitable exchange of traffic between nations signing a bilateral pact. Since then the U.S. has often ignored breaches by foreign airlines, drawn criticism from U.S. carriers for giving out fat new routes without...
...State Department and the President, who has the final say about what international routes the U.S. gives out, are ending the giveaway period in favor of more horse trading and stricter rule watching. The new trend was forced by the awareness that U.S. flag lines could follow the downward path of the U.S. maritime industry. Though 70% of all air passengers between the U.S. and foreign countries are U.S. citizens, the share of traffic carried by U.S. carriers has fallen from 75% in 1949 to 60% today. In the first quarter this year, BOAC nudged out Trans World Airlines...
