CP Air buys Eastern Provincial

The Canadian Transport Commission has approved the purchase of Eastern Provincial Airways by CP Air which agreed in April to purchase the regional airline from Newfoundland Capital Corp. for $20 million. CP Air says it does not plan any changes in the operation of EPA.


Alberta government reduces PWA stake.

The Alberta government has reduced its stake in Pacific Western Airlines to just under four per cent. The province sold 1.35 million common shares of the airline at $10.50 each.

After purchasing 99.9 per cent of PWA in 1974, the province began selling its shares last year. While the government has relinquished majority ownership, it has retained residual control of the airline by passing a law prohibiting any other party from owning more than four per cent of the voting stock. The government may own any amount.


A total of three airlines plan to move into the cut-rate air fare.

The market between Mirabel International Airport in Montreal and points in Florida, Atlantic City and Newark will soon see new airline service.

Nordair has stated that it will commence twice weekly service between Mirabel and Fort Lauderdale, possibly by October. City Express has indicated that it will begin Dash 7 service within three months to Atlantic City and to Newark while Northeastern International Airways, based in Fort Lauderdale, says it will begin daily service to Mirabel and charge $100 one way.


Airline slashes fare to compete.

Nordair is slashing its regular fares by a third on scheduled flights between Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton to meet the competition from upstart City Express. Nordair's new one-way fare is $69 on the Ottawa-Toronto and Ottawa-Hamilton routes, down from $103.
