JULY 25TH, FLIGHT •British European Plans The Oreanizdtiorij of the Future B.E.A.C. ROYAL ASSENT to the Civil Aviation Bill will bring intobeing three British Corporations, each with its owngeographical sphere of air operations. The Europeandivision of B.O.A.C. will then become British European Air- ways, responsible for the British scheduled air services in the ' nited Kingdom and between the U.K. and Europe. Although the fields of activity are geographical, B.E.A. has a distinctly functional character. This is, so to speak, "John Citizen's" airline. All classes of business men will again be able to take ad- vantage of express communications across England and Europe. Similarly the British and Continental tourists will seize the opportunity of clipping off several valuable hours or days of travelling time and of adding them to their all-too-short holi- days, while, of course, saving themselves the trialsjir lations associated with some of f*2) ^£ the other modes of travel. The other two Corporations, with their long-distance routes to the New World and the East, will cater for a different class of traveller. Competition with other countries will be considerable in the European theatre. It is all-important, how- ever, that there shall be no stinting or false economy in providing travellers of all nationalities with the best European service. Sir Harold Hartley who, at the moment is chairman of the European Committee of B.O.A.C., is Chair- man-Designate of the new Corpora- tion. Sir Harold has been closely associated with Railway Air Services and has a varied wealth of valuable experience to offer the Corporation.

The organization of the European Division shown in " family tree " form. The directors and managers, of the division are shown dia- grammatically on this page with their responsibilities. They are men with experience in airlines and administration and will, no doubt, form the basis of the organization of the European Corporation. Late this year B.E.A. will be flying the routes shown on the accompanying map, mostly with Dakotas, but, after Septem- ber 1st, Vikings will be coming into use on the services. That will be the thin end of the wedge, and the European Corpora- tion will eventually be equipped entirely with British civil transport aircraft.
