Skyservice vuole operare di linea sull'Italia

[landingFCO]

Periodo di particolare fermento questo per i voli tra Italia e Canada.
Recentemente la compagnia canadese Skyservice Airlines ha fatto richiesta presso il CTA canadese di poter ottenere la licenza di operatore di linea per i voli sull'Italia. Da anni infatti 5G opera charter regolari nel periodo estivo da Toronto a diverse località italiane (ultimamente Roma/Venezia/Lamezia/Pescara/Trieste). Dovrà essere data una risposta al vettore entro il 14/12/06.
Bisogna vedere quali restrizioni preveda nel dettaglio il bilaterale Italia-Canada, difficile che vi siano tutti questi punti d'accesso autorizzati in mancanza di opensky. Potrebbe anche darsi che si ricorra a una soluzione duplice. Voli di linea su VCE e FCO (che sono anche quelli dove più avrebbe un senso, viste anche le frequenze operate) e charter sui rimanenti aeroporti. In definitiva potrebbero cambiare parzialmente le strategie della compagnia a seconda del responso.

Skyservice opera da molto tempo sull'Italia,
ricordo una decina di anni fa il loro A330-300 a Ciampino, con la scritta "First A330 in North America" sulla fusoliera!

Ciao

Gran bella notizia!!! Speriamo bene, sarebbe un altro gran passo in avanti per VCE e i suoi voli verso le Americhe...

Vero sono un brand molto noto e consolidato ormai.
Reimatours, il principale T.O. che gestisce questi voli è presente da 30 anni in Italia. Credo si sia appoggiata a 5G da quando questa esiste (22 anni).

Speriamo che la richiesta abbia un seguito positivo...
