FAA AND THE EXPANDING AIRMAIL TRAFFIC.

Abstract

The study reviews the growth of mail transportation by air during the past 15 years (1953-1967) with emphasis on the recent upsurge in volume which saw the nation's airlines fly 970,988,000 ton-miles of mail in 1967. This volume was 30 percent greater than in 1966 and almost double the 1965 total. The report is directed toward the implications which recent developments in mail transportation by air hold for the aviation industry and for the Federal Aviation Administration. (Author)
