1977 newspaper clipping about $540 Pacific flights and US charter airline proposals threatening Qantas

A newspaper clipping from October 15, 1977, discussing US charter airline proposals for $540 return flights between Sydney and San Francisco, presenting competition to Qantas. The article mentions Trans International's submission to the Federal Government and includes analysis of potential impacts on Australia's aviation market, likely relevant to Sir Freddie Laker's transatlantic low-cost aviation model.
