A New Airline for Kelowna?

A new airline may be coming to Kelowna's Airport which will connect travellers with the Yukon.

On Monday Kelowna Council will be asked to approve an application by Air North Charter and Training to begin service at YLW on a charter basis.

Air North is headquartered in Whitehorse and is the largest airline in the Yukon providing domestic and cargo air service.

Air North employs more than 200 people and contributes over 20 million dollars to the Yukon economy annually and operates two Boeing 737-500 aircrafts, one Boeing 737-400 aircraft, two Boeing 737-200 aircrafts, and 5 Hawker Siddeley 748 aircrafts.

If approved the airline would be the seventh airline to service passengers out of YLW.
