Air Northwest to launch Blue Streak Airlines, closing Skywest Airlines

Officials at Air Northwest are pleased to announce that the company is launching a new airline to serve primarily Canada and surrounding regions.
Conan Davis, CIO Air Northwest announced today that he is planning on taking on the launch of a new airline under Air Northwest. This airline will be called Blue Streak Airlines and will be based out of Pearson Airport, in Toronto, Ontario.
This comes on the heels of the announcement that ANW plans on closing Skywest Airlines, an Air Northwest subsidiary.

Skywest serviced Australia and contained a fleet of 3 Boeing 737's. These aircraft will be flown back to ANW's Headquarters in Detroit to be repainted and integrated into the main fleet.

With the new airline comes the purchase of 2 new aircraft to be integrated into the fleet. The Boeing 767-300ER and Boeings latest aircraft the Boeing 7E7-800 Dreamliner.

"We certainly hope to bring to Canada the same level of service that Air Northwest has provided to the US and European cities, " Mr. Conan Davis said.
