James projects a 1981 operating profit level for the airlines of about $7.50 million, a return of less than 2% on revenues of some $38 billion, but a turnaround from the industry's 1980 operating losses. The tr~ffic forecast assumes a moderate upturn in the economy in the second half of 1981.

I• ) Pro Ski Team Promotes TWA 'Buys' Beckon Wise Shopper by DaveVenz Although air fares have been increasing with the rising costs of fuel and inflation, there are bargains to be found by the dollar-wise shopper. Aboard TWA, of course. · How about a $99 first class fare to Germany, a $5 charge above coach to fly first class to or from a nuq1ber of Ohio Valley cities, fare reductions as high as $103 between Florida points and northern cities, or a free ride to several western cities? To boost sagging winter traffic between the U.S. and Germany, TWA is offering a $99 first class or Ambassador Class (busi­ ness class) fare from any city it serves in the U.S. to Frankfurt, if one's spouse is flying at full rate.

Why this fare? Well, TWA is the only carrier offering first class service in those markets, and this was a way to make _more people aware of it. But what about Northerners wanting to escape their frosty climes? Take heart. All this month TWA's coach seats from New York to Miami and Fort Lauderdale are ' $89; that's $10 below the next best fare. And children under 12 accompanied by an adult fly for $50. Between Boston and Fort Lauderdale, TWA is offering coach seats for $99, a savings of $50. A Pittsburgh-Tampa/ St. Petersburg ticket is only $89 this month .
