A TOWN terminal for Autair, Ltd., the Luton airport operators, was a necessity, particularly in planning for
the future, the Metropolitan Traffic Commissioner, Mr. D. I. R. Muir, was told at a two-day hearing in London last week.
After 'hearing applications on behalf of coach operators for express licences to carry aircraft passengers between the airport and a Paddington hotel, Mr. Muir reserved his decision.
Mr. R. Davis, traffic superintendent for Lutair Handling Services, Ltd., handling
agents at Luton airport, said a town terminal would relieve at Luton the congestion which undoubtedly would occur if, as was hoped, foreign airline operators were attracted there.
Hillside Coaches, Ltd., of Luton, were asking far a licence to operate between Luton airport and the Stephen Court Hotel, Talbot Square, Paddington; and Charles Rickard (Tours). Ltd., of Paddington, sought permission to operate in the opposite direction.
Objectors to both applications were Seamarks Bros., Ltd.; Red Line Continental Motorways, Ltd.; Blue Cars Continental Coach Cruises, Ltd.; Samuelson New Transport, Ltd., and Travel House (Luton), Ltd.
Also before the Commission were applications by Samuelsons (for an express licence between Luton and Talbot Square) and Seamark Bros (to operate express services in the opposite direction), with Hillside Coaches and Rickards objecting.
