rudder Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/6-toronto-charlottetown-flights-cancelled-rescheduled-1.2633417Less than a week after Air Georgian took over the Charlottetown to Toronto route for Air Canada, Air Canada has cancelled Air Georgian flights and taken them over itself. Air Georgian took over the route May 1, and there have since been delays and cancellations on the Charlottetown-Toronto route, says Charlottetown Airport CEO Doug Newson. One flight on Sunday was delayed more than seven hours, and there were delays Monday as well. Air Canada told CBC News Monday it would take over operation of the route to ensure prompt service. On Tuesday six original Toronto-Charlottetown flights were showing as cancelled on the Charlottetown Airport web site. They were replaced by other flights, most running 20 minutes to an hour later. Those planes are operated by Air Canada, said Newson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proview Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 There seems to have been some issues with this Air Georgian stuff. I notice that in the past week or so there have been a few emergency decisions of the Canadian Transportation Agency permitting Air Canada to use Regional 1 aircraft and crews for a week or two. I assumed this was related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super 80 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 These are just about the oldest CRJ's flying anywhere are they not? I had assumed they had been scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagger Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 In as much as Georgian is operating the flights now, this issue is in abeyance. Like a lot of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
