Cool

Allegedly, there's a new airline due to start in May 2002 called Canada Air Charter. Rumour has it that it's being set up by LeBlanc ... or, wait for it ... Robert Obadia!

They say that they will operate 767's and 747's to Lisbon, Madrid, Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Tunis, Algiers, Kingston, Port-au-Prince, Martinique, Dakar and Abidjan. Ads for cabin crew (but not flight deck; leading to speculation that the aircraft are being provided on an ACMI basis by Air Atlanta) ran in yesterday's La Presse, a Montreal newspaper.

Interesting times ahead for the Canadian industry....
