Airline
seeks
help

protection from its creditors un-
der the Bankruptcy Act,

It’s the latest in a series of
moves to put the Smithers-based
airline on a firmer financial foot-
ing, explains marketing director
Peter Byrnes. .

He stressed that the company
isn’t bankrupt or golng into
receivership.

“The reason for filing pro-
lection is that it gives us time to
complete our restructuring plan,”’
he said Friday.

“The whole reason for restruc-
turing is so that we can pay our
creditors off."’

The move gives CMA up to six
months grace on paying its ac-
cumulated bills.

Many suppliers from Smithers
are affected by the protection
move, Bymes said, adding that
the company intends to inform
each supplier about the restructur-
ing plan.

**For our customers and espe-
cially our suppliers, we have ap-
preciated their loyalty in the
past... and we're asking for their
continued support.’

The move doesn’t affect sched-
uled service and no layoffs are
planned, Byrnes added. Earlier
this year, the airline laid off six
employees,

“Ts been very tough for the
last few years, but we've turned
the corer, 50 to speak,’ he said.

Just last week the airline an-
nounced it was suspending ser-
vice to Prince Rupert effective
June 30 and adding three flights
per week to its Terrace-Smithers-
Prince George-Vancouver and
Victoria rantes,

Additional daily retum depar-
tures from Vancouver and Vic-
toria have also been added.

The main money problem
results from U,S.-dollar financing
laken out in 1989 to pay for two
19 seat turbo-prop Beechcraft
planes. The cost of servicing that
debt has increased as the Cana-
dian dropped.

“Back in 1989 when we first
purchased our aircraft, our dollar
was approximately 87 cents and
now its down to about 72 cents,’’
Bytes said.

“Our plan is to secure Cana-
dian financing to stabilize our
cost structure,”

Another factor contributing to
the heavy debt load was the high
cost of converting the airline
from @ charter operation to one
offering regular scheduled pas-
senger service, Byrnes said,
