A12 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, May 19, 1999 Airline cuts deeper than they first look AIRBC IS falling a little bit shart of its claim to have twice-daily, non-stop ser- vice between here and Van- couver When it switches from jels to turboprops in July. The only flight planed now for Saturday will teave here at 6:15 a.m. for Van- couver, There will. be no Vancouver to Terrace flight that day. , And the aircraft can leave early because: it-will have flown up Friday night and stayed over. In effect, that reduces Fri- day service to a return flight in the morning and a Vancouver-Terrace one-way flight that evening, The twice daily flight se- quence will be in effect the other five days of the week from Sunday to Thursday, AirBC official - Angela Mah did note thal airlines traditionally operate fewer flights on at least one weekend day. She added that should a flight under the new sched- uled be diverted because of weather, the alternate airport will probably be Smithers. “Thats where Central Mountain Airlines is based and that’s one of our part- ners so they'll be familiar wilh us,’’ she said. AirBC’s current alternate airport to Terrace is Prince Rupert but because it is pulling out of that city altogether, it will no longer have any corporate connec- tions there. Mah wouldn’t directly comment on a suggestion the company will extend its 2 AIRBC IS switching to a Canadian-built Dash 8-100, li od pictured above, in July. It carries 37 people.

MAIO ED Lateef OCOD ipa OPN LED GLOVED: Eta overnighting plans when il announces its fall and winter schedule in late summer. That would effectively mean only being able to fly to and retum from Van- couver once a day. But it could also balance the ever-present problem of winter weather forcing in- coming aircraft \o cither return to Vancouver or divert to Prince Rupert. That’s because the chances of an aircraft taking off in bad weather are greater than if it were trying land under the same condi- tions. ‘"We haven’t finalized the winter schedule yet, so any- thing is a possibility,” said Mah when asked about the ovemight stop suggestion. Switch will hurt airport LOSING AIRBC’S Bae-146 jet will eco- nomically hurt the airport, says the head of the new society now running it. The airport charges a landing fee accord- ing to an aircraft’s weight and a terminal fee according ta the number of passenger seats the aircraft has, says Frank Hamilton. _ With AivBC,switching-from the 76-seat, Bael46 t6 thé ligtitér'37-seat, Dash 8, it’s a double whammy, said Hamilton. ‘There would be a significant impact,’’ he added. “Hamilton.” As it is, the airport's revenue dipped last fall when Canadian Airlines stopped send- ing its 737s north in favour of smaller F- 28s and look a hit again last month when AirBC canceled its afternoon flight. What the airport authority wants to do is negotiate a2 deal with the airlines so that they pay. per actual’ passenger, said The first meeting between the airport authority and the airlines is this week.
