This is an old friend from War days - so I'd like to help - however at the same time we should suggest a fee and a study of the Pakistsan [[?]] variety - unable until early fall - meaning Oct 15 at earliest- [[?]] [[right margin]]

Dear Bob:

Mr. Henry L. Boulton, our Executive  Vice-President, would like to make a study of the possibilities of an Helicopter operation between Caracas and four fairly well populated cities distant 48, 80, 99, and 172 statute miles from Caracas, the latter most likely to be served by an intermediate point.  He has in mind aircraft with 20-30 passenger capacity and, in view of your wide experience in the helicopter service, he would very much appreciate it if you could provide us with such information as could be used to evaluate the contemplated operation.  While there are no heliport facilities available at present and there is some doubt as to immediate potential passenger volume to make this an economical venture, there are sufficient reasons to believe that such an enterprise will eventually be undertaken to satisfy the needs of these communities.

We could appreciate it therefore if you could arrange to have someone of your organization prepare for us information along the following lines:

1) Type of helicopter recommend and availability;
2) Estimated cost of the complete unit and cost of spares deemed necessary to operate one and two units;
3) Direct operating cost per hour and direct operating cost per available seat mile;
4) Any additional information you may care to give us to conduct a study and evaluate such an operation from the investment and economic aspects, as well as inherent typical characteristics. 

Kindest regards. 
Sincerely yours,
AEROVIAS VENEZOLANAS S.A.
