Jazz Sarnia Run...new planes?

Pete · Post by **Pete** » Sun Oct 15, 2006 5:28 pm

Someone told me (who heard it on the radio...they dont follow aviation in any way) that Georgian or Jazz is going to start using a different aircraft for there run to Sarnia? I asked him what kind but all he could come back with was Beech...and I know they use 1900's for it now. Cant find any other news on it...wondering if anyone knew?

Itd be nice to have a bigger plane in....the 1900 is always packed.

Heard a rumour that AC was replacing Georgian in Sarnia with Jazz Dash 8's to accomodate a start-up at City Centre. It appears Air Canada (Georgian) is going to be flying YTZ to YOW in November. I wonder how this affects Porter...hopefully room for everyone there.

What a crazy industry....i think i'll stick to corporate where everyone gets along.

Since when has AC had ownership of Georgian (If thats what the Georgian in brackets meant)?

From what I understand Jazz is already doing the trips in a Dash 8/100, and its already started.

Putting a 1900D against a Q400 is a strange tactic. Then again I don't think Jazz has any "spare" lift to mount an offensive so it may be AC's only option.

my father works there, ramp...I didnt even think to check the employee travel thing. looked at a flight for tommorow, still a 1900. clicked for a flight in nov and it was a dh1. I cant wait for that...the 1900's were always packed...itll be nice to have a better chance getting on a flight standby with 2 times as many seats.

Actually this is helina's new sked service between sarnia and london with a beech 58. If it works out he might be expanding service to Woodstock.

Georgian will be running YTZ to YOW. The tactic is simple, run as many flights as possible, inexpensively, to generate maximum noise complaints.

The only reason Jazz is back in YZR is probably because Georgian does not have enough aircraft.

YTZ - YOW as much as possible. Makes so much economic sense.

If I were a shareholder I would be a little pissed. Deliberately losing money.

This will be brilliant to watch... AC passengers getting off the new ferry, bypassing the Porter terminal and lounge, checking in at a plywood counter at the old building or maybe a portable if they're lucky, getting on a clapped out King Air (i mean 1900), enjoying the lack of in flight service and wallowing in noise and discomfort and arriving after a longer flight at the armpit of the YOW terminal.
Oh yes, and there is the notable lack of more than a handful of takoff and landing slots at YTZ, oh ya, and the 1900 is more runway limited that the Q400.
I can't wait for them to start up. It'll be great free advertsing for Porter.

Thanks Rowdy, appreciate it much and keep the remarks coming.

Jazz is going to Sarnia. I don't think you're right about the 1900. It's not on Air Canada's schedule and Jazz is still trying to get back into the Island.

Ali G · Post by **Ali G** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 6:22 pm

B1900 is going to the island, starting Nov 1st. Flying to YOW as many times as possible in one day.

I think the noise thing is the whole point.
