CANADIAN Airlines will be operating an all-Boeing 767 fleet on its UK routes by the end of the year as older DC-10s are phased out.
Six new B767-300 extended-range aircraft will bring the fleet up to 14 by the last quarter of 1999. Leisure sales manager Janet Denning said that as part of a promotion of its destinations, the airline planned to offer 20 Canadian points on a net fare contract basis for tour operators and seat-only wholesalers for inclusion in their 2000 brochures.
“This means that the rate won’t fluctuate because of the exchange rate,” said Denning.
Destinations joining the list next year are Quebec; Whitehorse in the Yukon, via Vancouver; and Iqaluit in newly named Nunavut – formerly part of the Northwest Territories.
The latter point is offered via Ottawa, which is served from Heathrow four times weekly in summer – up one over last year.
