CIVIL AVIATION
The civil airlines, which are run by the Royal Netherland Indian Airlines Com- pany (K.N.I.L.M.) form an important and valuable supplement to the other means of transport. The following lines are now in regular exploitation.
Batavia-Semarang-Sourabaya, vice-versa (more or less 670 km. daily) Batavia-Bandoung, vice-versa (more or less 110 km. bidaily)
Batavia-Palembang-Singapore, vice-versa (more or less 1,135 km. weekly) Batavia-Palembang-Pakan-Baru-Medan, vice-versa(more or less 1,500 km.weekly) The average monthly traffic is about 1,000 passengers, 7,000 kg. of freight and 1500 kg. mail.
Moreover the Company does other aerial work, e.g., taxi-flying, joy-riding, photo- graphy, dusting, etc.
3-Engined Fokker monoplanes are in use.
Since September 1931 Java is connected with Holland by the weekly air service of the K.L.M. (Royal Airlines Cy.), which covers the distance of over 14,000 k. m. in about 10 days. The line is flown with Dutch planes by Dutch pilots with a marvellous regularity. The connection is highly appreciated by all Dutch people in the Far East and the home country, who use the airline for the quick transport of mail and goods. The planes contain ample room for the comfortable transport of passengers. The traffic to and from other European countries, the U.S.A. and the countries along the route is rapidly increasing.
