Pascan Aviation launches service between Saint-Hubert & Toronto

Pascan Aviation has announced the debut of two roundtrip flights a day between Saint-Hubert in Montreal and Billy Bishop Airport. These flights, beginning on April 10, will be launched in partnership with Ufly Corporation.

Addressing the needs of the business community

Based on the results of independent studies, the launch of these new daily flights is in response to a real demand.

“Business clients of the Rive-Sud and downtown Montreal are increasing their travels to the Ontario metropolis, and Pascan Aviation has the assets, skills and infrastructure to serve this market segment,” said Julian Roberts, president, Pascan Aviation. “The duration of our flight is equivalent to the time required for people just to arrive at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport. The addition of these two scheduled flights is also an opportunity to attract Toronto business customers to the global territory of Longueuil.”

The City of Longueuil, the guarantor of the development of the Saint-Hubert airport, has granted the carrier $70,000, while Longueuil Economic Development (DEL) has contributed $30,000 to allow Pascan Aviation to establish a regular connection to Toronto.

“The support of the City and of DEL truly allows us the means to achieve our ambitions,” said Yani Gagnon, executive vice-president of Pascan Aviation. “Beyond their financial support, these bodies have a true vision of the development of the territory, and we are proud to take part in it.”

A winning partnership

The development of this new flight offer towards Toronto will be made in partnership with Ufly.

“We want to transform the business travel model in order to adapt it to the ever-increasing expectations of our clientele,” said David Brochu, customer experience manager, Ufly. “Our corporate membership format saves time on airport passes. This way, our members can spend more time with their customers. Pascan Aviation is the most capable carrier to fulfil this mission with its executive aircraft and VIP customer service.”
