PIEDMONT AIRLINES PROPOSES
EXTENSION OF ROUTE SYSTEM TO
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
As a result of an ever increasing demand
for direct service from Nashville, Tenn.
to Carol ino, Virginia, and east Tennessee
cities. Piedmont Airlines, today, filed
an Application with the Civil Aeronautics
Board requesting authority to extend its
routes from the present western terminal at
Knoxville to Nashville. No direct ai r
service into Nashville is being provided
at the present time for many cities present
ly served by Piedmont. However,connections
with other carriers are available at Knox
ville.
Through the extension of Piedmont's route
system in this way, new direct service
will be possible between Norfolk, Richmond,
Lynchburg, Roanoke, Bristol, Johnson
City, Kingsport, Winston-Salem,Greens-
boro, Raleigh-Durham,Charlotte,Wilming
ton, and Bluefield and Nashville, the
capital of Tennessee.
It is expected that the CAB will assign
Piedmont's Application for hearing with -
in the next few months. However, a final
decision on the Application cannot b e
anticipated until about the middle of
1956.
In commenting on the new Application ,
T. H. Davis,President of Piedmont, said,
"We are happy to be able to propose a
new service which many of the citizens
in communities on our routes have request
ed for several years. The historically poor
surface transportation available across
the Appalachian Mountains has created a
barrier throughout the ages. As a result
of this new service Piedmont will have an
opportunity to bridge another gap between
two important areas. "
If Piedmont is successful in getting this
extension, it will then be serving the
capital city of six of the seven states in
which it operates.
