HC Deb 05 December 1945 vol 416 cc2477-8W
Squadron-Leader Hulbert

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he will make a statement in regard to the present schedules of transatlantic air services operated by American Air Lines and B.O.A.C.

Mr. Strachey

So far as scheduled services are concerned, during the winter months the British Ovorseas Airways Corporation operate a once weekly flying-boat air service in each direction between Poole and Baltimore. Except for Pan American Airways, which under a prewar diplomatic exchange of notes is permitted to operate a reciprocal air service twice weekly to and from the United Kingdom, American airlines have not so far been formally authorised to fly scheduled air services to this country.
