New airline to offer service between Waterloo and Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal

A new airline says it will offer service between Waterloo and Ottawa, Toronto, Windsor and Montreal going forward. Pivot Airlines says it has reached an agreement with the Region of Waterloo to provide the service once it receives regulatory approval. Brock Henderson, Pivot’s VP of operations control, said that “tickets are anticipated to cost between $90 and about $250 plus taxes and fees.” He described Pivot Airlines as “a new company which draws from a legacy of 25 years as a partner carrier for two different Canadian major airlines.” Henderson says it is also looking to expand to two other Ontario markets which have recently lost service with an eye towards cross-border travel down the road. “Our legacy is in transborder travel and we will also be closely monitoring the situation in the United States for future expansion plans,” he said while noting that it will likely be at least a year before Pivot offers trips south of the border. Henderson says the company is still working out details on when its planes will begin to carry passengers.<br/>
