HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 c380W
105. Colonel J. R. H. Hutchison

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation when he proposes to put Viking aircraft on services operating from Scotland; and what those services are.

Mr. Lindgren

The operation of civil air services is, of course, in the first place a matter for the corporations. The British European Airways Corporation which is primarily concerned hopes to be able to increase substantially its use of Viking aircraft in the early part of next year. It is not yet possible to say the dates at which the various routes will be served with Vikings. The order of priority depends on traffic and technical considerations which are now under examination.
