News Release

No. H052/03For release - June 5, 2003
OTTAWA — Transport Minister David Collenette today announced the designation of Skyservice Airlines Inc. to operate scheduled international air services between Canada and the United Kingdom using its own aircraft.
Skyservice currently holds a non-scheduled international licence for the operation of charter services to the United Kingdom. The new designation permits the airline to expand its service and operate scheduled international air services to the United Kingdom using its own aircraft. The designation was facilitated by a modification to Canada's international air policy, announced May 21, 2002.
"This policy is designed to provide greater opportunity for Canadian carriers to offer international scheduled air services," said Mr. Collenette. "Skyservice's new designation is an indication that the policy encourages competition, innovation and growth in the Canadian airline industry and promotes international travel options for Canadian consumers."
Skyservice plans initially to operate flights this summer between Toronto and London (Gatwick), Toronto and Manchester, and Vancouver/Calgary and London (Gatwick).
Pursuant to the designation provisions of Canada's international air transportation policy, all Canadian air carriers may apply to the Minister for designation to operate scheduled international air services.
