_Here’s your chance
to speak to airlines

IF ‘YOU have an air travel story worthy of
telling, Kitimat-Stikine regional district
chairman Joanne Monaghan wants to hear
from you,

She’s organizing a public meeting May
19 with officials of Canadian Regional Air-
lines and AirBC, the two major carriers ser-
vicing the Terrace-Kitimat airport.

‘We're inviting anybody who wants to
talk with the airlines,” said Monaghan,

“T hear from people who are very frus-

traied and people are to the point they need
a chance to talk to the airlines,”’ she said.
The regional district chairman and
Kitimat alderman anticipates there will be a
lot of questions about the high cost of fly-
ing in and out of Terrace,
~ Why is it you can fly to London for
$299 and yet it takes close to a $1,000 to

fly to Vancouver,’’ Monaghan commented,

She said attending a recent meeting: of
municipalities and regional districts in
Dawson Creek would have cast her $1,300
to attend. ;

Instead, she and others altending. will
charter an aircrafi, reducing the cost per
person by more than half.

Monaghan has also heard from people
who wonder why the airlines can’t at least

provide sandwiches for those occasions —

when aircraft are diverted to Prince Rupert
because of weather.

The May 19 session is one of several to
be organized with airlines by Monagahan in
the past few years but it will be the first to
invite members of the public.

It takes place at 7 p.m. at the Inn of the
West.
