Four years after initially announcing a potential move to Waterloo Region, Pivot Airlines has begun to use YKF as a base for charter and maintenance operations.
The company announced new ownership on Monday alongside the fact that it would finally touch down at the Waterloo International Airport .
“We have been interested in moving our maintenance base and commencing scheduled airline services from The Region of Waterloo International Airport for some time now and this transaction provides us with the first opportunity to do so,” CEO Eric Edmondson stated. “Our market research has indicated a significant unmet need for reliable scheduled airline services from Waterloo Region, and although YKF is not the only airport we intend to operate from in Southern Ontario, the availability of experienced local maintenance personnel ready to join Pivot’s team and hangar facilities provided through Fliteline have made this an easy decision for us.”Four years ago, the airline’s plans to use the airport in Breslau were waylaid, in part due to COVID-19.
“With the addition of the Dash 8-400 we believe we will be ideally positioned to start commercial service form YKF and other southern Ontario airports.”, the company said it would offer service from YKF and Ottawa, Toronto, Windsor and Montreal but those plans appear to have changed for now. “We think YKF holds a lot of potential for successful commercial services focused on the business and pleasure markets,” the spokesperson said.several crew members aboard one of its planes were detained for months after cocaine was found on board a plane.
