Jazz on the block

AIR CANADA has announced it will sell its regio-
nal Jazz carrier amid news of more losses for the
country’s largest airline company.

Air Canada president Robert Milton said low
volumes have hurt revenues as have rising fuel
prices in reaction Lo a possible war in Iraq,

Air Canada registered a loss of $360 million in
Als last reported quarter. It will also seek more
wage and other concessions from its workers.

Jazz serves the northwest. with daily flights from
Vancouver to Smithers, Terrace and Prince Rupert.

On Jan,’ 6, Jazz ‘pulled its Bae-146 jet from the
Vancouver to Terrace run,.in part because of skim-
py passenger loads.

It also seemed to be a ripple effect as the Bae-
146 was then put into service on the Vancouver to
Whitehorse run. Jazz used a Boeing 737 on that
route but brought in the smaller 146 when passen-
ger loads into and out of Whitehorse weren't en-
ough to fill. the 737, _

. With the Bae-146 gone from here, Jazz is now
using Dash-8 versions that carry either 37 or 57
passengers. The departure of the Bae-146, at least
for the moment, marks an end to more than two
decades of jet service into Terrace.

In attendance last year for. the long
service awards ceremony was Kalum dis-
trict forest service manager Brian Down-
