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. A Department of Transport official declared here that although of a DC-4" Frostboils under the runways no danger had existed in operat- [ -would have ing the giant .aircraft out of11------- *~ ?*�. Prince George, runway deterioration had increased to the point have nothing to do with the situation, he added. Meanwhile, Canadian Pacific Airlines officials have decided to continue using their four-engine craft on a northern route, but it will observe the Department of Transport ban and by-pass this city. Originally the company contemplated handling the excess of air traffic southbound from here by flying them to Fort St. John insa DC-3, and then transferring thorn to the larger plane there for the flight to * the south, added about This two where such a step was considered 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 hours to the flight from here to Vancouver. 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.
