Nolinor i Kanada starter OWG

[Trdfly]

Det Kanadiske charter/fraktflyselskapet har i dag offentliggjort sitt nye flyselskap, OWG.

Against all odds, a new airline called OWG will soon take off in Quebec, offering flights to Southern destinations. This new initiative is the fruit of Nolinor Aviation’s continued expansion into a new market. For the past 27 years, Nolinor has offered charter transportation solutions, mainly to the Far North, with its fleet of some ten Boeing 737s. The Nolinor Aviation team has been secretly working since 2018 to create a new airline that will position them in the tourist flight market. The company invested more than $1 million in a think tank to reinvent the way things are done in this industry. They analyzed the best airlines in the world to establish the values and mission behind the new OWG brand.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new airline, OWG. This new service will soon take off to regular flights to tropical destinations.

The OWG team has been secretly working since 2018 to create a new airline positioned in the tourism market. As OWG President Marco Prud’Homme explains, “Flying to your destination should be an extension of your vacation. Traditional airlines have cut the quality of their services year after year, without considering the passenger experience. Our goal is to win the hearts of travelers with a new airline whose mission is to make passengers fall in love with flying again.”

In early 2020, the carrier acquired a fleet of Boeing 737-400s and began transforming them into a reflection of their high service and safety standards. Unlike many airlines, OWG will track its aircraft in real time using sophisticated satellite-based communication systems. In order to ensure competitive pricing, OWG opted for aircraft with a proven track record: a fleet of Boeing 737-400s (158 seats). The interior of each plane has been refurbished with lighter, sturdier seating. Altogether, these upgrades required an investment of several million dollars.

Jeg forstår det egentlig et et slags LCC? Men med fokus på kanadiske «sydenturister»?

Leste akkurat en artikkel om kanadiske snowbirds som overvintrer i Kanada for første gang på tiår pga korona. Tror de nevnte 75% nedgang. En kompis jobber for et luftambulanse selskap i Arizona, og de sliter der. En stor del av kundene er fra Kanada. Kanskje Cuba blir forskjellig siden det sannsynligvis blir kortere opphold der.
