WASAYA AIRWAYS LP EXPANDS FLEET TO 21 AIRCRAFT
Thunder Bay, Ontario -- Monday, October 30, 2006
Wasaya Airways LP is proud to announce the purchase of another Raytheon Beech 1900D. The aircraft will be arriving in Thunder Bay on Wednesday, November 1st at the Wasaya Airways Hangar at the Thunder Bay airport.
As part of Wasaya Airways’ ongoing commitment to provide modern, state-of-the-art aircraft, we are very pleased with this acquisition of a new Beech 1900 to be utilized in our Passenger Service routes,” said Tom Morris, President & CEO of Wasaya Airways LP
The Raytheon Beech 1900D is a modern, twin-turbine, pressurized passenger aircraft which is configured for spacious airline-line style seating, accommodating 1 to 18 passengers. The 1900D is an exceptional aircraft for business travel and is a popular choice for many of Wasaya Airways' private and public sector customers
The Beech 1900D translates from pavement to gravel easily, due to the on-board, anti-skid modifications which allows for commercial operation into areas that would not normally be served by other aircraft in its class.
Wasaya relies on this option in order to provide an economical means of air service to our diverse customer base, without compromising our high standards for safety.
Dean Woloschuk, the Director of Passenger Services explained that the addition of this aircraft will add over 600 seats weekly to Wasaya’s capacity, and will be focused on the airline’s highest demand markets - allowing the Sioux Lookout base to offer additional charter availability and service.
“This acquisition will also add to the launch of our enhanced schedule, being implemented in early November,” said Morris. “We have always listened to our customers to help serve them better, and we always try to be first in addressing the concerns of our passengers.”
Wasaya’s passenger fleet is the most modern of any air carrier in Northwestern Ontario, and all of our aircraft offer two key features: they are suited to operate in northern climates and on shorter gravel runways.
