POLL: Transwest plays hardball, questions expansion in P.A.
Transwest Airlines is now questioning its plans to expand within the Prince Albert market, days after it criticized service levels at the municipal airport.
The airline plans to formally announce that it plans to expand in Prince Albert, Saskatoon and La Ronge. It purchased a hangar at the Prince Albert Airport in December as part of these plans.
Chief operating officer Garrett Lawless, who lives in Prince Albert, said he would like to see as much of the expansion happen in the city as possible.
“But in light of recent events, there is some uncertainty as to whether this would be the best place to have those expansions happen,” Lawless said on Friday.
