Wright engines have been selected for passenger and express transportation, while in instances where there is only mail to be flown Pitcairn “Mailwings” will be utilized. The spacious cabins of the monoplanes will accommodate four passengers with all the comfort of luxurious sedan. For flying in cold weather or at high altitudes, the cabins will be equipped with heaters and ventilators.

The passenger rate will be about twelve cents per mile, or a little more than twice that of railroads, including Pullman reservations. The fare from Albany to Cleveland will be only $60. Between Albany and Buffalo, it will be possible to effect time savings of as much as 3 hours 40 minutes over ordinary rail transportation. |
