CIVIL AVIATION

The civil airlines, which are run by the Royal Netherlands 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 (670 km. daily) Batavia-Bandoung, vice-versa (110 km, bidaily)

Batavia-Palembang-Singapore, vice-versa (1,135 km. weekly)

Batavia-Palembang-Pakan Baru-Medan, vice-versa (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. There are about 50 landing grounds in the archipelago available for civil aircraft.

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 9 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.
