Air aviation news- Carson Air\u00a0(CRN,\u00a0Kelowna<\/a>) and\u00a0PAL Airlines (Canada)<\/a>\u00a0(PB,\u00a0St. John’s<\/a>) are to get a shot in the arm thanks to a CAD150 million (USD112.4 million) bought deal offering of common shares by their parent,\u00a0Exchange Income<\/a>\u00a0Corporation (EIC).<\/p>\n

“The net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund the corporation’s growth initiatives, including partially funding the investments associated with recent announcements at Carson Air and PAL Airlines, and for general corporate purposes,” EIC said in a statement.<\/p>\n

British Columbia recently awarded Carson Air a CAD200 million (about USD150 million) ten-year-plus\u00a0contract to provide fixed-wing medevac coverage for the whole province<\/a>, which previously was divided into multiple contracts with different suppliers. The deal requires a fleet of new\u00a0Beech (twin turboprop)<\/a>\u00a0King Airs and a full motion simulator for pilot training. EIC has contracted directly with the OEM and purchased production slots to meet the province’s timelines. The aircraft will be modified with medical interiors and phased into service once the conversions are complete.<\/p>\n

Air Canada to add six PAL Q400s as “bridging solution”<\/a><\/h3>\n

31.05.2023 – 15:53 UTC<\/span>Air Canada<\/a>\u00a0(AC,\u00a0Montr\u00e9al Trudeau<\/a>) has signed a Letter of Intent with\u00a0PAL Airlines (Canada)<\/a>\u00a0(PB,\u00a0St. John’s<\/a>) to wet-lease up to six\u00a0DHC-8-Q400<\/a>s for up to five years and will deploy them on routes in eastern Canada as a bridging solution to help address a pilot shortage at\u00a0Jazz Air<\/a>\u00a0(QK,\u00a0Halifax<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“PAL Airlines has steadily built its extensive presence in Eastern and Atlantic Canada by pursuing the strategic growth of sustainable, essential services that provide connectivity to national carrier networks. This proposed arrangement with Air Canada is a complimentary extension of that strategy. It would support continued growth in our operation, deepen our ability to build regional connectivity, and fortify PAL Airlines’ presence in the communities who have always supported our development,” PAL Airlines President Calvin Ash said.<\/p>\n

The agreement remains subject to finalisation. Air Canada has not revealed where it will deploy the PAL aircraft.<\/p>\n

The regional carrier operates seven DHC-8-Q400s, as well as three\u00a0DHC-8-Q300<\/a>s, one\u00a0DHC-8-300<\/a>, two\u00a0DHC-8-100<\/a>s, and two\u00a0Beech<\/a>…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
