Air minded residents of Prince' ieorge were    struck    a    severe blow late last week when a Department of Transport order was ssued  forbidding  further  operations  here of  aircraft in  excess of 13 tons gross weight.   The ban, imposed due to excessive    damage to runways of Prince George Airport, makes it impossible for Canadian Pacific Airlines to land their four-engine    DC-4    aircraft here.
It was the giant DC-4 plane which made imposing the ban necessary.

In reply to a question from a reporter, the official said "There is no immediate relief of the situation in sight."
The move came only a few weeks . after Canadian Pacific Airlines announced that four-engine service would be available to air travellers in and out of this city.
The Transport Department of-ficlal denied a rumor that Canadian Pacific's big plane suffered undercarriage damage here last week caused by an imperfection in one of the runways.
He said that the runways "were

Later, however, they abandoned this plan and decided to place an additional DC-3 on the Prince George flight.
This second section is now operating, and according to airlines' employees, is a satisfactory solution.
