FLIGHT, JUNE 3, 1932 AIR TRANSPORT EUROPEAN AIR TRANSPORT OPERATIONS IN 1931 IN the Resume of Commercial (Aviation) Information, compiled by the Directorate of Civil Aviation (C.A.3) and just issued by the Air Ministry, an interesting table is included in Appendix I which shows the returns of the various European Air Transport companies. The information contained in this table, which is for the period ending December 31, 1931, is very complete, and serves as an interesting comparison in con densed form of the activities of the various aircraft operating concerns. We therefore publish this table below, but regret that owing to pressure on our space we cannot amplify it with the additional detailed information given in the other sections of the Resume. We have, however, compiled from these statistics a list of the types of aircraft employed by the various companies, which we think will prove of considerable interest. Country GREAT BRITAIN ..
