Feature of the Month
Century Pacific Lines ‘31
This month’s feature covers one of the earliest attempts to set up
a budget airline in competition with a major service. In 1931 Errett Lobban Cord, the owner of
the Auburn Motor Company, set up a couple of airlines. One of these was Century
Pacific Line. It was aimed at competing with the railroads and American
Airlines with fares below the equivalent rail fares.
The flights are available here: Century Pacific Lines
There is also a hoplist from Phoenix west and up through Southern California. This is available here: CPL Hop
