Minister Furbert Holds Meeting With Air Canada

July 25, 2023

Minister of Transport Wayne Furbert recently held a meeting with representatives of Air Canada at their Headquarters in Montreal.

A Government spokesperson said, “The meeting provided an opportunity to engage with Air Canada representatives and discuss matters regarding the airline’s Bermuda operations.”

Minister Furbert stated, “The primary focus was to assess the priorities for Air Canada and explore opportunities to enhance air travel between the two destinations. Notably, Air Canada has expressed optimism for the winter season, with the prediction of reaching pre-pandemic levels on the Bermuda route.

“One of the key discussion points involved the potential for deploying larger aircraft more frequently from Toronto to Bermuda in the short term. Air Canada acknowledged the promising signs of recovery in destinations, encompassing Latin America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda.”

The spokesperson said, “The Bermuda delegation including, Mark Guishard from Bermuda Airport Authority, Aaron Adderley from Skyport, and Oli Lamb from Ailevon Pacific Aviation Consulting, led discussions about the future of the Bermuda-Canada air service market. Air Canada expressed its commitment to collaborating with the Bermuda Tourism Authority to promote Bermuda as a preferred destination for Canadian visitors.”

Minister Furbert underscored the importance of such meetings in the post-pandemic aviation landscape. He said, “Both Air Canada and the Bermuda team departed from the meeting with a shared purpose to strengthen our collaboration and optimise air service offerings for residents and visitors from Canada.”

The Bermuda team met with Air Canada’s David Waugh – Managing Director, International Affairs & Facilitation, Daniela Mauro – Director, International Affairs, Mazin Elbushra – Director, Network Planning North America, Joseph Malalla – Manager, International Affairs and Rose Gonzalez – Bermuda Product Director

    Now that Ronnies gone, Air Canada needs to look at its ground crew in Bermuda. Their behavior should not be tolerated.

    ” … at their Headquarters in Montreal”

    Yup. No surprise there.

    Another wasted trip. Flip flop useless. Oh a circus coming to town.

  4. LOL - the real one says:

    More frequent flyer miles at taxpayer expense for the usual suspects and another photo op. Unfortunately, 1+ MILLION Canadians fly each year to affordable Cuba. 12,798 Canadians to Bermuda in 2022. 27,748 in 2019.

      Cuba is not that affordable. I could have a week in Italy for the same price as a week in Cuba.

        We can agree to disagree. Or, let the Canadians decide where they want to vacation.

    Flip Flop’s got his red shorts on again. Always works eh?

    • X OBA voter says:

      What’s more funny is that when he was in the UBPOBA similar to other blacks helping you beat my PLP every election, you folks loved them. Now you can’t even find enough black members to help the UBPOBA win and you wonder why.

      • tucker says:

        Educate yourself. Racism isn’t really a marketable skill.
        You’d be happier if your life was productive.

      • sandgrownan says:

        X OBA voter? …. but also “my PLP”….you must be confused.

        Flip Flop is a political opportunist, no moral fibre and will do whatever it takes to stay on the gravy train.

      • Come Correct says:

        So because black voters refuse to join an all white party you call it racism. It’s no secret that any whites that support the plp are blacklisted by their own white friends.

        • Joe Bloggs says:

          “refuse to join an all white party …”

          What is this “all white party” to which you refer?
