Letters from you to the editor MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT
AIR TRAVEL
I have read with considerable interest your leader in Tues- day's issue of the China Mail regarding air travel,
There is one other point to which I think altention should be drawn, and that is surely it is rather fute for tho world's major airlines to spend vari sums of money, on Jet aircraft, while apparently utile is being dons to reduce the delays In handling passengers at airports."* During a recent businema visit to a certaku Far Eastern country, the position was follows:--
Flying me from Hongkong to destination by jet aircraft, three hours;
Time from airport to hotel,
two hours.
If Governments in this part of the world continued to insist ubon so much red-tape, then surely they should" "provide adequately trained staff to deal with the situation. Another point is that fa many places, it fakes a very long Lime So unload Damengers" luggage from the aircraft, and thia
something which possibly the airlines can desi with themselves.
