Boeing Look to Recovery:
Boeing are confident that the tide has turned and economic recovery is well and truly underway. Fuel prices are down, the stock market is up and people are flying again. Virtually all US domestic carriers enjoyed unprecedented traffic increases during March and April as against the same period in 1982. Capacity Increases of more than 25 per cent were not uncommon while most of the increase was genuine traffic, not the super no frills, LANew York $99 specials that had been available in recent months. Boeing have laid out their market projections for the rest of the decade and see deliveries of 326commercial 1e1 airliners this year, 264 in 1984, 255 in 1985, 268 in 1986, 299 in 1987, 422 in 1988 and 449 in 1989.
Ewa Enters the Jet Age:
East-West Airlines has taken delivery of its first Fokker F28 Mk 4000 Fellowship. Two more are on order with the next delivery scheduled for December 1983.
