HC Deb 15 March 1965 vol 708 c195W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Minister of Aviation how the increase in British Overseas Airways Corporation's passenger traffic in the past 12 months compares with the increase forecast by the British Overseas Airways Corporation board a year ago.

Mr. Stonehouse

The scale of increase in British Overseas Airways Corporation's passenger traffic is indicated by the improvement of their average load factor from the 52 per cent., which had been anticipated, to the 57 per cent. now expected for the full year 1964–65. Final figures will, however, not be available before the end of the financial year to which British Overseas Airways Corporation's traffic forecasts are geared.
