Air Ontario increases flight schedule from Allentown

LONDON, Ont. - Air Ontario, an Air Canada regional carrier, has increased flying from Allentown to Toronto, effective Tuesday September 8, 1998. Flights from Allentown to Toronto will be increased to four per day (Mon-Fri) with departures at 7:30 a.m., 11:05 a.m., 3:20 p.m. and 5:40 p.m.

"The schedule between Allentown and Toronto has been increased due to heavier passenger loads attributed in large part to the current labour disruptions taking place at Air Canada and Northwest Airlines. Passengers from surrounding areas, such as Philadelphia,, Newark and New York, will look to Allentown as their gateway to Toronto and beyond, as their booked travel plans continue to be altered," stated Anne Wilson, Director, Marketing for Air Ontario.

The increased flying has been put in place effective September 8 through September 11, 1998, after which time the schedule will be reviewed to determine if any further schedule changes are necessary to meet passenger demand.

Passengers traveling on Air Ontario, or an of Air Canada's regional carriers, will receive triple miles on Air Canada's aeroplan program for the duration of the labour disruption.

As always, passengers traveling on Air Ontario flights are eligible for qualifying miles on United's Mileage Plus program.
