XyTJJ working XS adult to "dozens" of newspaper, radio and television interviews over a two-week span more than the approximately 20 interviews he gave in Los Angeles during a 10-month period last year, according to the mayor's appointment calendar. Although Bradley granted a telephone interview from London last week to discuss his role in keeping the Raiders football franchise in Los Angeles, he did not have time last Week to answer questions about his European travels, Chandler said. The mayor agreed to travel to Europe at the invitation of the visitors bureau, said Michael Collins, vice president of public affairs. "The mayor gives us a certain drawing card that lets the cameras turn on and reporters pay attention to our delegation," he said, It was in response to concerns about jet noise, air pollution and traffic congestion around the airport that the City Council in 1981 imposed the passenger limit, But at the same time federal aviation regulations require the city to accept all airline operators who want to land at Los Angeles International, said Maury Laham, manager of airport environment.

"We are caught in the middle," he said. "We try to do our level best to reduce the impact we make and still accommodate aviation." City officials said they have been studying a proposed master plan that would allow the airport to expand its facilities to handle 65 million passengers by about the year 2000. Bradley recognizes the need to expand airport facilities to accommodate growing numbers of air travelers, Chandler said. "As the passenger levels increase, the airport will have to take even greater steps to reduce noise and handle passenger congestion," he said. The airport commissioners who are accompanying Bradley on parts of the trip are Samuel Greenberg, Robert Chick, Melanie Lomax, Diane Pasillas and Johnnie L.

Cochran who heads the panel. With Bradley out of town, Fer-raro served as acting mayor until he left for Europe on Thursday. Marvin Braude, the council's president pro-tem, left for Japan on Friday, leaving the acting mayoral duties to Councilwoman Flores for most of the time Bradley is away. Continued from Bl The trip was organized by the privately financed Greater Los Angeles Convention Visitors Bu-reau as a "European Sales Mission" to help make Los Angeles a top travel destination. The visitors bu-reau paid for five of its own executives to make the trip.

The final leg will be a five-day stay in Monaco to attend the 30th annual conference of the interna tional Civil Airports Assn. Bradley and others attending the seminar will consider ways to control air port congestion and improve bag gage collection, said Bill Chandler, the mayor's spokesman. The city officials joining Bradley are mayoral aide Philip DePoian, City Council President John Ferra-ro, all five airport commissioners and two airport managers, Some of the officials will join Bradley later. Perraro defended the trip, saying before departing Thursday that sending the mayor and a council member overseas to promote Los Angeles "carries more weight than just some staff people." One of Bradley's goals "is to do everything in our power to make sure people choose Los Angeles," Chandler said. 'Through his personal appearances and media interviews, the mayor will likely, reach tens of millions of people throughout Western Europe." However, "passenger promotions per se" are no longer sponsored by the Airport Department because the city has surpassed a City Council-imposed limit of 40 million air travelers per year, said spokeswoman Nancy Niles.

Since 1988, Los Angeles International Airport has exceeded the capacity by 5 million travelers annually. "We are at a level of passenger use at this airport where it wouldn't make sense to encourage it more," Niles said. Whereas boosting passenger travel to Los Angeles is the function of the visitors bureau, the airport uses these trips primarily to generate more air cargo business, said the airport's executive director, Clifton Moore, whose own travel plans to Europe were sidelined by illness. The mayor's schedule includes black-tie dinners with leading tour operators in London, Paris and Frankfurt, West Germany, meetings with foreign dignitaries and receptions for cargo officials.
