"The remarkuable increase in flying of this nature, particularly in the last year, is briefly summed up in the fact that while such services accounted for 4,091 hours flying in 1925 and 5,860 hours in 1926, this increased to 12,070 hours in 1927. In the twoâ€"year period the number of passengers carried by these services increased from 4,987 to 16,677, thte increase in the past year alone being equal to more than 162 per cent.
