Citing average paid air passenger figures as low as 74 per month — “less than the break even level” — PWA has asked the CTC for permission to abandon its license to serve Grand Forks, and this action is being opposed by the city. R Grand Forks’ council does not dispute the figures quoted by PWA for the passenger service it has been providing through a sub-contract to Northern Thunderbird Airlines, But'a letter from Grand Forks’ mayer to the CTC asserts that the PWA figures do not give a complete picture of the exteht to which Grand Forks residents are ‘making use of air travel. “The majority of air Sas nger traffic (originating in Grand Forks) is being diverted by land to Kelowna for Canadian connections and to Spokane, . Washington for U.S. connections,” Sugimoto has asserted. This is because of “inadequate scheduling of flights to and from the Grand Forks airport, and connections to such points as Penticton and Castlegar, along with the recorded unreliability of the Castlegar airport.” Kristiansen believes rail link is saved Presentations’ made at Na- kusp Sept. 25 have likely saved the rail line to that community, area MP Lyle Kristiansen said Friday. After taking part in a day of hearings before a commit- .'tee of the Canadian Trans-. port Commission in the vill- age, Kristiansen said he believes the vital rail link between Slocan City and Nakusp has once again been preserved by strong local concern. CPRail first made applica- tion to abandon the section five years ago, when hear- ings were held and continued ‘operation of the line was ‘ordered. “There were 10 presenta- ment said from Ottawa Fri- day. “They made a strong case for preservation of the line to protect Nakusp’s wood-based industries. “It will take two months for a decision to come for- ward, but the quality of the case presented and the reac- «tion of the federal commis- sioner hearing the issue makes me think sbandon- ment of the rail line is unlikely.” ‘ Kristiansen said if the link is preserved, CPR will not suffer, as a federal govern- ment med is already being paid to the railroad. The subsidy would be increa- sed to match CPR's deficit. . “We argued that CPRail has done everything it can to +kill that rail line,” Kristian- sen said after the hearing. “At the same time, it has inflated loss figures and downplayed the repercus- sions of its proposed removal of rail service to Nakusp. “When the issue was first heard five years ago, the federal commission itself con- cluded CPRail had done this, - . and the situation has not changed. “Considering the minor real losses of the rail link, “Kristiansen added, “we said there is just: too much for Nakusp to loose—that the line ‘to Slocan’ Lake and the train barge service to main rail'at Slocan City should be subsidized and maintained.
