SkyService Airlines Passenger Opinions about SkyService Airlines product and service standards (2981 words)
Skyservice Airlines was uncooperative in the matter, both at the airport and back in Canada.
In conclusion, SkyService obviously do not care at all about how badly they treat their passengers and have made myself and family extremely upset and as a result we will most likely never fly charter airlines again and will certainly never fly SkyService.
Skyservice got me there and back on time, in relative comfort and in one piece for a reasonable price.
ROOTS - About Us - Press Center (0 words)
Skyservice announced today that it has formed a strategic agreement with Canada’s premiere airline, Air Canada.
The proposed agreement would provide Air Canada with a 30% equity interest in SkyService Aviation and Skyservice FBO and 50% of the voting common shares of Skyservice Airlines.
In addition, Air Canada will acquire a 35% non-voting equity interest in Skyservice Airlines, which it intends to distribute to its shareholders through a public distribution, market conditions permitting.
