Tours for 32,000. Oakland-based World Airways, the largest of the supplementals, recently signed a $5,660,000 contract with Berry World Travel of Kansas City to provide 199 round-trip tours next year for an estimated 32,000 vacationers. Most will run from New York, Chicago or California cities to Hawaii; ten will go to the Orient.
World Airways President Edward J. Daly, 44, is so enthusiastic about the future of low-fare mass travel that he has plunked down $300,000 as a deposit on three SSTs. With six Boeing 707 jet transports in its fleet and three more due for delivery this year, along with six medium-haul 727s, World has also asked the CAB for authority to operate scheduled transcontinental nonstop jet service for $75 one way. A former general manager of Sky Coach Aircraft Corp., Daly bought World for $50,000 in 1950. Last week, his 81% share of the firm's stock, which began trading on the Big Board in April, was worth a tidy $278 million.
