To double the worlds jet routes Douglas introduces the \ Now, just when it is needed most, Douglas makes a major marketing and service breakthrough for the airlines... for the U.S. aircraft industry... and for travelers with the promise of fast, comfortable jet transportation to cities where it has never before been available. The key that unlocks the door to jet service in smaller com munities with short runways and makes airline operations economically possible on routes as short as 100 miles is the new Douglas DC-9. This latest member of the long and proud line of dependable Douglas transports is specifically designed to operate efficiently and with the highest profit potentials at the shortest possible jet range. For instance, it could return a profit to an airline operator with fewer passengers than any jetliner now in service. And it will operate efficiently at the normal altitudes used on short routes. Accommodating from 56 to 83 passengers, the DC-9 will fill the existing gap in jet service which leaves thousands of communities around the world with nothing but propeller equipment available. Production is already under way at Douglas and by sub contractors in 27 states and Canada. Before long you'll be seeing the distinctive fuselage-mounted jet engines and high horizontal stabilizer of the DC-9 at airports around the world. DOUG, rA/RCRAFT DfWSlON
